What do you do when you have time to play but no builders?

The past 2 days i haven't done anything except a few single player goblin matches because all 4 of my builders are upgrading. What do you guys do? Do you continue attacking others and expect 1/3 of it gone when someone attacks you or do you just wait and let shield protect you every 12-16 hrs?

As of now, i have like 300k gold/900k exliar and no builders till tomorrow night. I been getting hit every time my shield runs out and get another 12-16 hr shield. I haven't attacked anyone during this process.

Thanks

Nothing. My 4 builders are building now, and I'm sure as heck not buying another gem and never will. Amen to that.

I am def. not buying gems.

If i play single player, 1/3 of that loot will be given out to people that attack me anyways after my sheild runs out.

I stagger builders, so that one frees up every so often. I raid for a fe hours before one becomes free, at least until all the walls are upgraded.

Staggering is not a bad idea. Thanks.

what do the higher level people do? say 50 and up?

Still grind and pray nobody steal. But 5th builder is almost always free.

I wait until I have 5 hrs left before my builder finish. In that time, I usually gain 100k-400k. My upgrade cost range between 360k-3M. I try to do upgrade when each one take a different days to finish. I don't have to wait too long for one upgrade to finish. Then I defend. If I get luckly, the raider one star me and I lose little resources. If not, I lose between 50K-200k depending on how much resources I have.
Due to recent update, upgrading is way slower than before. It took me 3 days to save 1.025M at 5 hrs per day with little resources being raided during defending. Anything higher than that, I have to play x hrs per day for x days, which I will not.
I like chatting with clan members than being Top 50 players. My clan is like a ghost town. We have 3-5 people playing at the same time now. Before 20-30 people would be on at the same time. As of now, I play 3-4 hrs when I can and try to save enough for the next update. I admit; it will be along process.

in what way shape or form is the 5th builder almost always free?? do you know something I dont?
I have 3 builders and will never be able to get even a fourth since they double the cost with each purchase. if they remained even 500gems as a max I would gladly spend the 5$ for another one but to spend $10 for one builder?? supercell is clearly drunk.
