Builder Timing Bug? INFLATED

I am by no means a non gemmer, I just have the view that any money I spend on the game is voluntary, more similar to a donation saying thank you for a cool game, and I am rewarded with the convenience of being able to boost whatever with these gems bought.

This thread could've been closed long time ago if they only posted a message about it on the forum. Even 'Hey guys, we know there's a lag, we can't/won't fix it but hey, stop complaining, we give you free gems' would've been fine by me.
I think for most people it's just the principle and the fact that most people underestimate or even act like it's not even there. I guess everyone has his issue. Some ppl are bothered about the loot, others about the next button, the forum, the cups at champions level, shields, time lag ....
It would be boring if everyone constantly posted how great everything is.

some complaints worded and addressed properly have made a great impact on this game. The league rewards have been adjusted due to complaints, as well as many others facets of the game, but I call that feedback. This lag bug on the other hand seems to be made into a bigger deal than it is, and maybe sc has decided to ignore it due to gems in place to off set. Either way if they fixed it, it would not be a game changing thing to me

ps. Didn't the time lag double once the obstacle output doubled after the update? :eek:

Lag was not doubled that I know of

Fair enough.

There still seems to be a persistent misconception that gems from achievements and obstacles can offset the lag...

Perhaps for the most inactive of players that could be true, but a couple of pages back I showed that even moderately active players lose over 3000 gems worth of resources from this "bug" at TH10. That's just mines, pumps and drills; nothing else. Particularly the builders and lab are very large issues themselves.

For everyone who plays this game more than just a tiny bit, gems received from the game don't even come close to compensating this "bug".

I've made 3k in gems from obstacles and achievements

That's all nice and dandy, you've gotten your lag on the resources "compensated" then.

Too bad there's also lag on builders, lab, barracks, dark barracks, spell factory, clan castle and heroes.

Oh, and I've put some quotation marks around the word compensated, because those gems are neither presented as such nor by the vast majority of players perceived as such, even by those who know about the "bug"/scam.

I think this is totally unfair, I'm wasting my gems and it's not fair. It costs everyone money, when will it be patched? I don't see why supercell have no perspective of changing it. It's disgraceful.

This should be pretty hard for people to argue with, but I'm sure they will try.

I hope soon this gets supercells attention. ive known about this for awhile but because its a universal thing i eventually let blow over til recently i was reminded about this bug. A few hours ago i recieved a notification that my barrack had finished upgrading to level 10 yet when I went on i come to see there was 5 minutes left. Plus ur all right the more active u are the more u are effected putting added lag to ur build times everytime u load ur base

Here I have one thing that everybody loves; a simple solution to a complicated problem:

JUST QUIT BUYING GEMS AND THIS WILL NOT AFFECT YOU!!!
