I would take that over the loot.

Even make it so that the LOWEST level building gets the auto upgrade.

Kinda like a buy one get one free. You pay for the expensive item and the thing with the equal or lesser value gets the freebie.

You may or may not be aware of this, but there is currently a major flaw in the design of clan wars. There exists a "workaround" that allows a clan and its players to "practice" attack an enemy base without any penalty whatsoever, until they reach a point where they have 3-starred your or are happy with their attack. Only then will it be recorded.

Until this flaw has been fully fixed, offering people any additional incentive to win clan wars beyond the resources they already receive is an instant "no".

There are tons of reasons why instantaneous building upgrades are a bad idea, but I'll stick to a few glaringly obvious ones:

1) This game is meant to be a marathon, not a sprint. That is part of the strategy. The fact that it takes longer and longer to build up your base makes it more and more important to choose your upgrades wisely. Hence, a 'strategy' game.

2) It's more profitable for Supercell this way. If you can upgrade everything instantly, you can max out TH10 in a couple months of hardcore farming. Then you'll get sick of the game and stop playing. Supercell makes much more money off of long-term customers as opposed to "hardcore for two months" customers.

3) Walls are probably instant upgrades because Supercell wants to throw us a bone. With all the long build times and the high cost and quantity of walls, the least they can do is make it instantly upgrade. Again, it's a nice strategic aspect of the game.

Excellent and Insightful points. I now understand the validity of your response. Thank you for "biting"...it is appreciated. I am not "new" per se, but I am still learning.

i honestly dont know about this...
With the people that play daily for hours on end they can easily max out a few defenses each day. Plus SC makes money off the impatient people...
So... sadly this would most likely NEVER happen...

I think that's why it's considered to be a Strategy game. Strategically, its a complex addition.

This would be unjustifiably unfair to players who spent so much time (like myself) in upgrading their base over the course of many months. If this happened my username would become much more accurate...

Constructive criticism can only be given for an idea that has potential to be constructed into a better idea.

You're idea is officially the worst idea I've seen in a long time. In fact, I just posed on an idea that I said would be the next idea added to the ruled out sticky. I retract that statement and replace that prediction for your idea.

The whole point of this game is to grind it out. If we didn't have any build times, I would have maxed out th10 already and quit the game out of boredom months ago. Also it would change the dynamic of economic and raiding. If you always spend your money and can instantly have a build, there'd be less loot in storages to raid. You would see people have less available loot because, just as when trophy pushes, you can dump gold instantly on any upgrade and do sombqck to back. Limiting your building ability makes you have to defend your gold until you have free builder. Part of strategy others have mentioned.

Worst. Idea. Ever.

Thank you for your insightful response. I hope your day ends up being a good one.

Good point however, SC would lose a lot of money. There profit is impatience of players and selling gems to them...
