Holy snap, he actually did it.
Well done, icarus!:)
Already a thread on this :P think its is against the rules for repeats.
I never saw one lol. Sorry if I did. But everyone has to admit, he accomplished something pretty big. Dos anyone know when he started playing?Quote:

Lol I think he might have gemmed a few because a few minutes before I posted the thread he had one wall left and only 700k in each gold storage. So that means 7x4=28 and he had at the most 3 mil in his storages. I don't think someone can farm 1 mil gold in a few minutes unless they hit a real gold mineQuote:

( But of course he may lie, but it is still an amazing amazing AMAZING accomplishment if he farmed a majority of it.)Quote:

Yeah lol and another thing- it's around 2:30 AM here. I fell asleep -_-Quote:

Agreed, the definition of "farming" is now subject to personal opinion. I'm sure he has boosted his azz off and gemed some walls. I am not taking anything away from this guy. His dedication and hours spent is Incredible.Quote:

I agree, regardless of boosting, this achievement is incredible. Congrats on your 2500 post, if that matters to to you;)Quote:

And also, it's funny that his point defenses are TH8, yet he has lvl 11 walls. XD
Farming is currently anything that doesn't mean buying resources.Quote:

I wish I had all that time and patience to farm all that... but then again I rather go on living my life... either way congrats on your accomplishment and hope you spend that much time on your real life accomplishments
Really great achievement!
Wow, but those defenses... I wonder how you put in his clan name? I have been looking for him.
Who da hell is Icarus? :p
I think you have to use it as a shortcutQuote:

Fix the Gold Grab Cap SC!
It's a bit too late, he is almost done with gold upgrades.Quote:

True, but other players will hit 2billion soon. (A few weeks ago, there was someone with 1,800,000,000 Gold Grab in 抢劫上帝)Quote:

U still have to get the gold while boostingQuote:

I might do the same after i earn my 5th builder. doesn't make me a gemmer. Does it?
Boosting is the best possible way to spend gems if you earned them.
I doubt they will hold the record for one person only. They have a lot of stuff to do! If they actually do have the real record for him then that would be awesome. I assume he reached 3 billion already.Quote:

However it must be known that he boosts literally everything - day in & day out. He also occasionally gems upgrade times.
Whenever you visited - rax, mines / pumps, drills, spell factory, heros (recovery) were all glowing green and running at 2x / 4x usual pace.
A lot of hero & defensive buildings times were gemmed too.
I guess it does bring the term farmer into question, & whether they cross into 'gemmer' territory. What he has achieved shows that farming to max base is possible, but not in the timeframe that this was done without boosting consistently for a long period of time. Obviously the gold / DE needed was farmed, but a large amount of gems were used to make this process faster (still takes a long time). If you add it up then you're talking about 1000$ or 2 spent on boosting & the gemming of some upgrades alone.
None the less this is a major achievement & one to taken note of!
Well done mate. ;)
Copy and paste this into your shortcutsQuote:

Too much work I rather get a big mac now :cool: jk is icarus asian? Dunno. Oh well, he got an amazing achievement.Quote:

Yes, resources were farmed, but seing his DE drills on constant boost makes me wonder if term "farmed" is truly applicable. Constant boost of barracks also arguable point here. Not going into much detail, I would congratulate him again but reserve the right to apply term "farmed" with original meaning in mind.
I dont think he spent thousands, but couple of hundred bucks for sure - boosting de drills, heroes and barracks is about 500 gems a day with current reduced rates. Definitely worth the investment if you consider real amount needed for upgrading those walls if gemming resources.
P.S. Cloud Whiskey is the last true farmer refusing to boost... Not even spells when trophy hunting :) old school farmer i guess

Oh... My... God...
I wonder what he will do when he maxes everything else. Will he start trophy hunting?
Wow that is amazing. However, I have to agree that farmed is not the right word. Maybe farmed with assistance.
Congrats icarus! I still can't believe your defense isn't maxed out though:eek:
Probably. I wonder how high he can get...Quote:

Maybe one person and a fluffybunny. hard to say
I'm pretty sure its multiple players. I dont think one player could play 16+ hours daily for multiple months...Quote:

Most impressive however is 626 attacks won within last 7 days. Even if you add a ratio of 1:1 to include attack losses, that's roughly 150-180 attacks per day! If you divide by the hour, that makes it a complete insanity :) Unbelievable!

As high as any other farmer could without using gems :) Once he hits that ceiling cap and a new 6 hour personal break, things will get real - real fast! Are we taking bets? lol

Then I guess its okay to finish off the hero with less time and start the farming again. Not that I have done that yet (Never even had max DE storage >.<) but I think its okay in my opinion.
Anyways, Grats Icarus.
Lol with the time he's been active lately I say like maybe 3500 if he is really as active. As he wasQuote:

Term "farming" should be either retired or applied only to people that have farmed resources w/u any kind of boosting. Whether is was spells, troops or pumps - it is still using gems to achieve greater results the easier way. Saying that boosting does nothing is an overstatement IMHO

Yeah. The Christmas boost still made it farming, right?Quote:

As for my analogy, I think it is still relevant. You concentrate only on barrack boosts and I am including spells and pumps etc. I.E. Icarus is boosting DE pumps since November or so (on n off). Will it be fair to post a thread about him being the first to farm for lvl 40 heroes? I think it will be a major milestone for someone to get heroes to lvl 40 w/o instantly gemming them or at least not "gemming" resources, but is it really farming? I guess i look too deep into it being so kosher.
In conclusion... Yes, there is a tremendous amount of effort and human hours put into this and all the praise and credit goes to him and others breathing down his neck. Without downsizing the magnitude of his daily grind for walls, heroes, upgrades... all I am saying is that "farming" term is really wishy washy now (btw I've never said he gemmed! I was saying that "farming" is questionable, but the is no better word to describe this unique experience - semi-gem-o-farming-occasional-boosting experience)
