Shorter upgrade times

Would it be possible to cut down upgrade times? Don't get me wrong, I love the game. But sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out when waiting for an upgrade. I mean 4 days for a gold mine. 6 days for town hall. It would be so much better if we didn't have to wait so long. Even if the upgrades took just a little less time. Like 4 days instead of 6. And if a cannon that would normally take 24 hours took 12. I'm not asking for much. Just a little bit faster. Then maybe it wouldn't take 6 months to go from town hall level 1 to town hall level 8. Please consider just a small improvement.

No sorry, this won't happen.

SC makes money from impatient people. If they make things shorter, they will make less money.

I like the long times too, it makes accomplishments more meaningful.

SC has these times in place for a reason and if they were unnecessarily long then they would've already shortened them. I'm sorry, but it would not be possible to shorten these times, as others have pointed out, if these times were cut then less Gems would be bought and thus less money coming into SC. And less money means longer time between updates and less features because of the shortage of people buying Gems. Sorry, but these are far from the longest waiting times of the game, just to name a few, Level 3 Dragons and TH9 are 10 Days, and some are even longer.

You think 4 days is bad? Th8+ x2 worse. 14 day upgrades, which are extremely expensive... Just be patient. Or spend money on the game. But you can wait it out.

Upgrade times are already low enough no need to change them.

I remember when they reduced the build times for Wizard and Archer towers by 1-2 days. I was so freaking happy, that I put all my money into them and ended up maxing them after about a week. Really I was just scared SC would change their mind. However, the build times for the levels that they reduced were very odd. Most building have a somewhat linear upgrade time. teslas are a good example. Their times are 2d -> 4d -> 6d -> 8d -> 10d -> 12d -> 14d. The archer tower was weird because it went from 1d -> 3d between lvl6 and lvl7, and the wizard tower went from 2d -> 4d -> 5d. Supercell eventually changed it, and the linearness of the change has pleased me.
