Hello there fellow clashers.
I'd like to suggest what the title already states. To me, it does not make much sense that I'll have to pay the same amount of gems to finish my troops if the building's boosted and thus produces troops four times as fast. Would it not make more sense to also lower the cost of finishing them early by 75% then?
I'd also love to hear some opinions on this before anything is decided. :)
The cost to finish goes down with the amount of remaining time. So the cost to finish will drop faster if you have boosted. So you are really still getting what you paid for if bossted.Quote:

So even if you wait for the cost to finish to drop, you still get ripped off when you use it.Quote:

It wouldn't make sense or else it's be common practice to pay the cheaper boosting price before gemming to completion. Plus you can save money by gemming to completion for 2 hours
I disagree that is a rip off. Its just not a discount either. (well, during the holiday 1 gem boosting it actually is)Quote:

Decide up front whether boosting is going to finish fast enough and if not then choose if you want to just gem them instead. Boosting, then still running out of patience and gemming the rest does cost more, but the problem here is the decision making process of the person doing it, not how SC has made the game work.
Wow, another free malware offer. I wonder how many threads he put this on.Quote:

The thing is that gemming troops costs the same, no matter if the building is boosted or not, since only the time remaining is taken into account, rather than the actual time of the troop training. This makes no sense to me at all!
I am aware that this would pose a problem when there's one of those 1-gem-boost events such as the one that is running right now, but it could simply be disabled for the time being.
