$4.99 for a month of "one-gem donation", How much for it to be "gemless-donation"

So "one-gem donation" now cost $4.99 and 1-gem/troop (exclude events) for a month.
This also make players use this features as they've bought it, so they might spend gems for "one-gem donation" to be worthy.
I'm not sure how much gems people use to donate troops per month, if someone have data please share your info.
"one-gem donation" also protect from spam donating, if only one person bought it and share the account with all the clan mates.

If, there're are "gemless donation", and spam donating problem was solved, and account sharing problems are solved.
Or only person who bought "gemless-donation" can receive troops from those who bought it as well.

How much are you willing to pay to get this feature ?

One gem donation is just one piece of the gold pass. Certainly useful but just one of many. I wouldnt pay for just one gem donation or no gem donation. And not sure what this spam donation problem is you are trying to solve.

I mean take out the "one-gem donation" to a separate purchase, and it now doesn't require one-gem anymore, and it's permanently, one-time fee, not monthly fee.
'cause there're many players suggested that "donation system" sucks, that requires lots of time of training the troop.
The spam donation I'm talking about, is when this feature "gem-less donation" are out, only one person in a clan bought it and he can donate to everyone in the clan, without the need of others to buy the feature, so the suggestion to this problem is to only allow those who bought this feature to receive donation with person who also bought this feature.

My explanation sucks.
But here's the short one, Monthly Fee "one-gem donation" --> One-time Fee, "gemless donation"
and can only receive troops by players who also purchases this features

As Piper said, I certainly wouldn't pay £4.99 for it, while I am happy to do so for the gold pass which includes it as an incidental.

And I would not pay a penny more for gemless donations.

Also, your system seems a little complex, but without it, this would lead to abuse. I think 1 gem donations is fine personally.

I'd definitely pay $5 for free donations, no need for one gem, just instant donations forever, which seems to be what OP is suggesting in the body of a later post. I don't think it would be good for the game, though. As for $5 every month like the title, I wouldn't pay that much.

that's why it should/would cost more, I think.

Very unlikely to happen. I'd prefer one gem donation as part of Gold Pass and one-gem events.

The game effects are more than you might think. For starters, suddenly people will receive level one troops from people who have upgraded a single barrack. Best intentions by the donator but not best outcome.

Donating from your camp/queue doesn't cost gems. It's a rare event that people wait overly long times to receive troops in most clans due to training.

You point out several good points here. If you spend the $4.99 (depending on country) on the gold pass, you will more than likely have unused potions/shovels/runes, in this instance it is my case. I will sacrifice the extra runes for 50 gems each.. These gems begin to add up and thus I begin to insta gem donations only because they have been sitting for 30+ min without acknowledgment. I am a th13 running several good options when it comes to runes, I understand some may find this different. Your last statement is quite debatable, "Donating from your camp/queue doesn't cost gems. It's a rare event that people wait overly long times to receive troops in most clans due to training." Even though this maybe true, you express your opinion without the regard of others who would rather have the alternative.
The alternative. suggestion #1: https://forum.supercell.com/showthre...ature-Requests
1. An army donation option within clan. Be able to pre-donate specific set amount of troops into a sort of clan army. When a request for donations is placed it would be automatically filled in or inherited by the member from the clan army. Limits would have to be set of course so no one clan member can donate a full clan army. We are an active clan but donations tend to sit for hours. I would like to benefit those for easy and quick donation options especially in last minute war attack requests for troops.

Not quite fully understand,
If said you'll receive Lv.1 Troop, because that player've bought this "feature", that's why he can spam donation, without causing him (a) training time, (b) resources, and/or (c) gems. That's what you mean ? True, but this is already a thing even without the "feature" I mentioned, just maybe would become more serious to extreme, and only among new players ? But I doubt new players would actually buy this feature.

The second part you mention, donating from camp/queue doesn't cost gems. That's why I make this post, because there're many people dislike the waiting/training part for different reasons (they have different suggestion, but "gems donation" solved their problems of time requirements) which is the different between, f2p, and pay for progress stuff. And here's the acceptance of reoccurring paying, and one-time fee for permanent feature. I know most company/online service have only monthly-fee features, but not life-time buying feature, that's the part I don't really understand

You want to make donations free of gems, time and resources at a small real world cost. I think that jeopardizes the existing one-gem donation events and perks.

New players aren't the issue. Newer th are the issue, those with only one of four barracks able to produce electro or yeti. Having said that, i recruited a rushed th6 just before CWL. That player is now mid th8. No experience but lotsa cash. Never underestimate what people will pay and when they will pay.

We actually see level 1 donations all the time with one gem donations. Players are keen to finish donation events & tasks and I know it happens in other clans too. Making donations gem free will create an undesirable factor whether you understand or not.

Managing your training queues isn't onerous especially if you have played prior to the current training system. Training times are lower than request times. Most people complain about the time between requests nit the time for donations to be completed. FWIW, when we see an unusual request, we ask if it will be repeated and organise training accordingly.

I didn't mention, "small real world cost", I was just wondering how much are players willing to pay for this feature at a price.

I see what you mean by one barracks now.

I personally don't have problems with donating with training/resources. But I'm also fond of a life-time feature to be bought.
I don't have much data, 'cause I joined only one clan, that being said, if there're many gold-pass people are using the "one-gem donation" feature, my idea was already bad. I don't have any data, that's why I want to ask, If my idea was meant to come out, how much do you think it would cost, or are you willing to buy. (Even you dislike the feature, how much do you think it needs to cost)

I bought gems to donate quickly before gold pass showed up. Just this month bought some more. I will not post what I have spent through the years! Don't want it to get back to my wife!

1 gem donations I think is enough!
