New building: "Clan Market"

[After reading the stickies carefully I came across some previously suggested ideas that were ruled out.
My idea might appear to be somewhat similar but please read the details before closing this.]

I have an idea for a new building. It's called "Clan Market".

With this building players can trade by selling resources (gold, elixir, dark elixir) to their other clanmembers at the cost/reward of gems and a percentage of interest of the given resource.

Say I have 500.000 spare Gold which I want to sell to another clanmember. I can now file a request for this with my Clan Market building. My request will show up in the request window (a new tab in the chat window where also requests for troops will be so they don't get snowed under by chat messages). Filing this request will cost me an interest (a certain amount of the given resource, say 25%). If another clanmember wants to buy my gold (still 375.000 left after the interest has been deducted), he/she will have to pay with gems (say 10% of the amount it would have costed in the shop = about 30 gems). A very small share of the gems (another 10% of that = 3 gems for instance) will go to me and the rest of it will go to Supercell.

This building would have multiple levels which are related to the town hall level. Maybe introducing the Clan Market at town hall level 6 would be a good idea. The Clan Market will have a count down timer indicating te next possible request, much like requesting troops with the clancastle. It would also have a maximum amount of resources which can be sold/bought matching the Market Place level. I'm thinking the time before a new request can be filed, could gradually be shortened by upgrading to a higher level and the maximum amount of resources per transaction could be raised just so.

This building and its possibilities will ofcourse have an impact on the game. Maybe even a fairly large impact. I'm aware of that. That's why the exact numbers and percentages need to be thought out well by Supercell. I can imagine that Supercell would be very carefull also to tinker with their current gem flow but if they would implement this the right way I think it would be a win win situation for everyone and it would result in a bigger gem flow.

In general I think it will result in an even more dynamic game by lowering the bar this way. People will be able to progress faster in the game because of their effort rather than their patience. There still will be a lot of people buying gems also because the number of gems in play will still rise with this new building. If one sells gold/elixir/dark elixir for gems, still the buyer has to get those gems from somewhere and the person selling only gets a fraction of that. One can only spend a gem once... ;) It will also be fun to interact at an even more functional level with the other clan members.

I really hope the Supercell crew would consider adding this building in a future update. Maybe you have a usefull addition or different view. Let me/them know what you think of this idea by posting a reply!

I want to support, but I believe this has been ruled out by the sticky.
Here, read this:http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...out-guidelines

There will never be any type of trading resources between people.
No staking, no clan banks, no nothing

Never is a long time.

There were previously suggested ideas about donating and exchanging buildings and these were ruled out but the Clan Market building is something different which I think could make this game even better.

It's more like an auction but the involvement of gems makes it really interesting for both players and Supercell I think.

There is a road side market in hay day that you can sell extra resources. This idea is just adding it to clash of clans. I think with work this would work out :)

And which they think will destroy their income.

Supercell needs income because it practically gives away clash of clans to anyone (its free) so they need money and gems is the way they get it

I like the idea, different to all the others, therefore it's unique, but Supercell want money because they are goblins, so this prooobably won't be implemented. Good try though, better give it a go rather than not.

Then lets upgrade mortar so they can't take our money.

How would it not be profitable for Supercell if for every 3 gems they give away, they recieve 27 in return? It's all about the right ratio.

Sure, some people will only harvest the gems from trees or goals and save them up. Or with this new Clan Market they will be able to gain gain some extra gems by raiding and selling. Any gem that's been gained in another way than buying it from the shop will just as well be invested in the game again. When people invest it in buying gems from clan members, the biggest share of that will go back to Supercell again. If they spend them in any other way Supercell still will get all of it back. And remember, if u sell your resources for gems, you won't be able to use those resources to upgrade your base... There will always be a need for more gems to a lot of players that don't want any hassle and just want to buy gems from the store so that they can use them right away. People who spend money will still have a big advantage over players who don't, even with Market Place.

Where it comes down to, is that with every Clan Market transaction 25% of a resource is lost by a player (which is way more than the value in gems that they gain) and with every transaction 90% of the involved gems are payed back to Supercell. Now do the math...

i think, supercell already gained enough with the in-app-purchases..
they should give us a possibility to share resources with friends and clanmembers.

Well, I can understand that they want and need to keep making money in order to keep having a job and keep updates coming. It's a free game and you don't have to buy gems if you don't want to.

All I gotta say is, read the sticky.

There will never be resource trading, instead of having players trade gems for other things, they rather have you buy the gems and you can use those gems to guy gold and elixir already. That's is it

As many people already said it is very, very unlikely to happen eventhough it`s a great idea!

i may that wiht them we made a bank !!
but supercell isn 't a bank !!
an you must knew they trafik for them system an wenn the had problems you can lose all (waht you given )
and they cant give you them becaus the apple police and they can give more recuorces becaus them !!

This is a very popular idea, but judging by the amount of times it was posted, it probably wont be put in the game. Read the sticky because I'm not sure.

I've read the sticky very well...

My idea is not about donating resources, it's not about having a bank and it's not about exchanging one resource for the other.

It's about buying and selling resources between clanmembers for a few gems in such a way that Supercell will gain extra income from the gems and for players there's the advantage of being able to buy some cheaper resources once in a while. And then there's the extra fun and motivation it will bring to go raid for the few extra gems and serve the clan at the same time to raise the level of teamwork.

I don't hope they will but Supercell will close this topic if it's in their category of ruled out ideas. Let's just wait what they have to say about this idea before ruling it out individually. From what I read in the reactions I think almost everyone would like to have a building like this in the game.

Again, please share your feedback or let me know if you have questions.

I don't know if I understand what you are trying to say exactly but I guess you're talking about possible reliability issues?
I think the current system Supercell uses to ensure each persons gem count is acurate will cover this. I don't see the difference with other gem transactions and the way my idea would change anything on that part.

Like I've said before, this is still trading resources, for example "selling 1m gold for 1 gem" blah blah blah, will be abused and still basically transferring resource. And I also said that supercell have gold and elixir you can buy.

How do you think they make their money? Bevause they get Money from people who buy gems who then buy gold and elixir.
Which is extremely overpriced

Not talking about you

This will never happen so dont think about it

For gemmers , they don't even bother this , they still gem the resources ...
for non-gemmers , they definitely not gonna do this ...
So no point of having it ...
