Gem cost for boasts

How can I request or send in ideas regarding this new change? Supercell up'ed the cost from 1 gem to 20 gems to boast the barracks? 20 gems is a steep cost for 4 hours, I personally don't enjoy being strapped to the game for 4 hours to enjoy the boast option. How about upping the cost to 3-4 gems an hour? Or doubling it from the promotion they had going on where it was 1 gem for 45 minutes. I know my friends and family that play the game purchased the treasure packages all the time at that price. Reducing it to the above idea would still generate more revenue for supercell while keeping players interested longer into the game and further into their leveling up.

Ideas?

No they didn't up it. The 1 gem boost was a holiday special/sale thing. The price prior to that for barracks was 25 gems for 45 minutes, so they actually lowered the cost quite a bit.

I understand that. We have to be reasonable. This is a suggestion.

Agreed they lowered it. It's a decrease of about 1/5th the gems in comparison to the time given for what you pay. That's from the original costs I walked into, which is most likely less then even before that. However in an attempt to appeal to players over time the idea I mentioned would be more appealing. Wouldnt you agree that no one likes wasting money, right? Most people like to pop on for an hour or two here and there, no be strapped to an app for 4 hours... So the 4 hour lot that is offered can be a waste of money. That's the important part.

Take the 20 gem cost for 4 hours and break it up to a per hour boast. That in itself would be beneficial for players. Looking at the big picture Supercell would still make money and gain players buying these boasts more in the long run. I myself can not afford to waste boasts, and will get tired of wasting money on an app I love, however this change I'm suggesting would not be far off from where I had originally stated "2-3 gems for an hour, or 4 gems."

Everyone wins right? Supercell makes money, and players can manage their gems/money better while not losing money...

You do not have to be on the game for 4 hours strait. Train your troops, log off, and come back when the notification appears

I get that people find the 4 hour length too long and would rather 5 gems for an hour instead of 20 gems for 4 hours. I'd support that.

Just making sure you knew that they didn't decide to go from 1 gem every 45m to 20 for 4 hours and instead went from 25 for 45 minutes to 20 for 4 hours.

^ you still are losing out on time if its the end of your day, or your on break from work. Right? Myself, like a lot of other players, don't have all day to log on and off the game to play it like you are saying.... But still enjoy the boast option.

Dahimi- thank you. I understand that it was a limited offer at a bee discounted rate.

Can you forward this idea to break it up into per hour boasts instead of 4 hours. Just for the barracks, the other boast options are fine, but that is just my solo opinion. Glad u support the idea, it will help keep this game fun and I know I'll keep buying gems with this added.
