Allow pausing of an upgrading building to free up a builder to upgrade walls

I'm working hard gathering resources and i get up to max storage. I have 3 builders all busily working away on some upgrade. I would like the ability to pause one of my buildings (which would cause that building to stop upgrading but still not function.) This would allow me to spend my resources on walls before some random awesome guy steals them.

Since the building that is paused would still not function this would not be very overpowered or unbalanced and also allow for another fun aspect of the game... do I pause this or let it finish? more decisions.

If people could do that, loot would be so much worse. Everybody would be spending their gold on walls at any time. Nobody will have 8,000,000 gold saved up anymore. Good idea but that's the big flaw.

Builders used to not require walls.
People could easily reduce the gold that could be raided from them when they went offline.
Gold was really hard to find in raids.

They changed it away from this, they aren't going to change it back.

Exactly, available gold would be slaughtered. Therefore it is a bad idea.

The already bad loot will be worse

This right here is the reason they don't do it. This is the case of an idea being great if you can do it and terrible if everyone can do it. Did it honestly not occur to you that other people would do the same thing?

I prefer to ruin people's day and steal all of their "walling loot" for myself while they are unable to upgrade it. ;)
