Hello all, I was just wondering what the average is of the ammount of money spent on clash of clans. I am guessing it must really depend on your level, and how dedicated you are to the game. I would just like a ballpark.- I know when your in the big leagues you start spending some real dough. ( Thats money well spent /: )
Gemmed my 4th and 5th builders. No other gems bought, past or future.
Same as zachUVA. Gemmed my 4th and 5th builders but nothing else.
Gemmed 4 building. I am using free my apps for the 5th.
Gemmed 4th and 5th builder.
most of us just do that. (~$25 USD)
I only spent gems once to get 4th builder no more
Purchased the $10 packages a few months ago to help get the fourth builder, and purchased the $20 package a few weeks ago to get the fifth builder. I don't see myself spending anymore since I can wait for upgrades to finish on their own and I have no need to buy resources.
I spent $20 twice--for builders. No plans for buying gems in the future.
100 bucks for my entire CoC career. 4th and 5th builders, Pirate Flag, Barbarian Statue, and the rest on speed upgrades to TH7 so I can farm. :D
I'm a TH8 now and I still have about 200 gems from that 100 buck gem purchase.... (been 3 months already... lol)
Poll is missing "I've never spent anything" although my TH7 is almost maxed out and I'm considering a 4th builder for TH8.
Indeed, it needs a 'nowt' option.Quote:

I have 650 gems..so edging towards that 4th builder. Man i'm gonna be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if I mis-tap and spend lots.
Same here.Quote:

gemmed 5 builders then $50 thats it
No option for me here, I haven't bought any gems, I have 4 builders and 700 gems saved toward the 5th, Have a TH8 a month away from maxed out. If you don't waste your gems early 4th builder is fairly easy, you get it before the nice and tidy achievement, or there abouts...
Gemmed 4 building, and I intend to get the 5th one too
Sorry, that was my fault i forgot to add that option. " No gems spent"
I'm down to about £30 a month now, a few months back I was on over £100 a month.
Considering I have spent £50 on many Xbox/ps3 games which I've completed within weeks I think this is pretty good value for money having spent around £20 in 5 months
Bought gems for builders. That's it.
Not enough available loot to make me buy gems now. If they cant give me pretend money I sure as hell wont give them the real stuff.
There isn't enough loot because everyone puts their TH outside for free shields. There's enough for me now but I haven't hit TH8 yet.
I'm Th9. Its not bad, but far from great.Quote:

Still, the only thing I have every bought was a fourth builder at ~level 50. I've got thousands of gems saved up, but I can never bring myself to spend them.

Also with all these new updates I feel like you pretty much need a builder just for DE stuff. Finally I've enjoyed enough of the game for free so that's a small thank you to Supercell :)
4th builder and BK - I regretted getting him tbh, a 5th builder would have been much better, but oh well. The gems I got from the 1250, and anything else I gather or buy along the way get used to speed up training is all.
Mendax, That is pretty cool that you made a profit off of guides. Yes, i also agree i can never bring myself to spend the gems i have!
edit: Also guys, if there was a way to edit polls i would add the option " I dont spend gems".
but sorry i do not know how
Also, like many of you, I bought gems once just for a builder hut. I have 3 total now. Thinking about getting a 4th. Worth it?
Where do you put guides to earn money off them?Quote:

Stop giving gems to people who buy them? They might as well shut down their company today if they did that.Quote:

Where is the option for never?
Zero in a few posts i have said i forgot to add that option. Forgive me.
Half the guys out there doing "guides" .... should just stop. Every whiney kid across the game seems to think they're an expert, they should give nobody anything for doing them. That would cut out all the crud, and leave it to those who do it for no reward.
Calm down people, Supercell isn't giving me gems. I just have had private messages by individuals who offered to pay me if I wrote a few strategy articles (typically $5 for a 500 word essay) for them. A completely private transaction.
Most gemmers end up premature noobs anyway. Why stoop to their level?
I started playing free. Then when I decided I kind of liked the game I paid $5 on a builder, just because I like to support the games I like. Then when I really liked the game I spent $10 on my fourth builder. When I hit the 1250 achievement I spent another $10 for the other half of gems I needed for my fifth builder. If you know you like the game and will one day want the builders, the earlier you get them the better. After that I only buy gems in $99.99 increments, and I've done it a few times now. I only drop gems on the most fun aspect of the game...ARMY. I can wait for everything else. I just love attacking. I'm a professional with a career and a family so when I get the time I can't always wait for my army. I can't complain. Supercell made a great game and have good stable servers. They deserve the money I spent and I even have more for them. I am a fairly high level and I feel I am enjoying this game more than ever.
Like that guy said. It is a private transaction with individuals. Don't get your hopes up.
On another note, It appears that there is no real schedule for the majority of you and that you all spend gems mostly on builders. Interesting
