Hey guys,
I was recently in need of more resources and looked at my options. I could either boost my collectors or fill my storages using gems. I did some math and figured that filling my storages was by far the most gem-saving, efficient way to go. It is instant, and you end up actually gaining more resources. I think SuperCell needs to decrease the price of boosting collectors because right now they are definitely not the way to go.
Do you remember 2-3 updates ago? Yeah they already did this!
He means the price to decrease permanently for the boost not temporarily
After the 1 gem boost event, they DID permanently decrease the boosting of collectors!Quote:

Its still too muchQuote:

It costs twice as much to instafill storages.
Dahimi is completely right here, he beat me to saying it.Quote:

Even with level 5 collectors it is 6000/gem.
By the time you actually need the resources from collectors they'll be maxed. If you're having loot issues at TH6 you might as well leave now cause it doesn't get better. You shouldn't care about loot from collectors until at least TH8, nothing is so expensive that you can't farm it in a couple hours tops.Quote:

@ OP: I went from scratch to maxed TH7 in 2 months with lvl 3 collectors.
collectors are NOT the way to get ressources in this game. Other people's collectors are.
If you're thinking about spending gems for ressources at TH6, you're in biiiiig trouble for the next steps of the game.
At TH6 just make a raid and you're filled for the day lol, so easy to find abandonned TH8 bases nowadays, with your loot bonuses you can easily get 1 million of each ressource per 30 minuts played...
Anyway back on topic if you're really into wasting gems at TH6: cost are high, but it's normal, it's to squeeze you cash cows, and I like that, that makes more loot for me when I loot the heck out of your towns. That feels so good wiping another's village when I see they're gemming collectors, I feel like "take that feel the pain of money wasting you noobs".
yes I'm kinda elitist.
Prices are just the way they need to be : expensive so idiots pay for the game I play free.
Thanks to you all gemmers !
Not all gemmers are idiots/noobs. If I don't want to wait for 10 day upgrades, I can gem the last 2 days of the upgrade time. I don't see anything wrong with that.Quote:

Spending gems for builders is smart as it is a permanent way to make your way to the top of the game.
Spending gems on ressources is just a terrible decision in my opinion as prices are just plain day theft.
Or at least we dont have the same notion of what your time is worth in money.
Spending 5€ to get what I can get in 45 minutes of playing (it's not a burden to play Coc, raiding is actually fun so it's actual GAME-time not "annoying raiding time") is stupid IN MY OPINION. of course, Spending 45 minutes of your time for something you can get by spending money with no second thought (lucky you for having that much money) would seem stupid to a rich dude.
Anyway my point is that gem prices for ressources are in my opinion ridiculously high, and to me it looks stupid to spend money on ressources. Buying builder (+++), time (+), seems pretty legit to me, but spending gems on ressources seems to me like the worst decision to someone who doesnt want to spend tons of dollars on a game like coc.
But heh who I am to judge, as long as people have fun.
In the end all I'm saying is that I thank people who spend gems on ressources as they are the ones making SC to live, allowing me to play an almost free game (I did spend 20 € to get 5 builders), and that the dude who wants to spend gems for ressources at TH6 probably hasnt figured out yet that he is on a slippery slope ...
