Boosting builders

I thinks you should be able to boost your builders for a short while like you can with the collectors and barracks.

If you were to be able to do this it might not help SC. After all super cell has to make money and by doing that you buy gems. You technically boost your builders with gems. And the point of boosting collectors is to get enough loot circulating but not to have too much of it but to have enough to keep players happy or just enough circulating for them to make money.if you just boosted builders then all the players would be higher LVL and not care about spending money on gems. Besides that we can have multiple builders which is like having a boost because U can upgrade more things at one time. So with the option of multiple builders what's the point of a boost if SC can't make money.

More ways to spend money ultimately results in more money spent. If people boosted builders to finish upgrades earlier, that would result in less time to collect resources between upgrades. This would cause any of the following effects:

1. People would raid more. This increases time spent playing the game, and the increased raiding would lead to increased boosting of barracks, spell factory, and hero heal. This means more money paid to SC, and greater involvement of players.
2. People would boost collectors/mines more consistently to keep the income/spending ratio somewhat even. This means more money paid to SC, and more resources available to others while raiding.
3. People skip boosting collector/mines and buy resources directly. This gives SC more money per resource than boosting does, and would increase in popularity if upgrades were available sooner.

But think how many players actually spend money on this game? Not a lot, if this came in affect it's not helping anyone more than the people who don't wanna wait. This would make more people attack ONLY for gems to upgrade more stuff without making them buy gems. Think "Why would I buy gems if I can just go Attack the inactives for gems" would U buy gems for boosts or upgrades if U could get them for free with attacking?

Nowhere in my post do I even mention getting gems by attacking. Please take the time to thoroughly read and understand posts before responding to them.

The whole point is what the thread is about...it's about getting free gems to upgrade faster. Supercell makes money off of people who buy gems. Your post is to give your opinion on the subject and give reasons why it wouldn't or would help the game. My opinion it doesn't help supercell make money at all. And U say that it would have more ppl buy gems for more loot but it wouldn't when U could ATTACK for free gems and use the free gems to upgrade or boost rather than people actually spending money to keep supercell running. Yeah this game is free on AppStore but in-app purchases keep them running as well as keep them adding new things in updates...making all this free wouldn't help this game at all it would make everyone high LVL and leave no point it keeping the game running if no one spends money to keep the electricity running to keep the game online. You spend money to keep something going...they don't get free equipment or electricity to keep the game going..money keeps it running...that's why more free stuff wouldn't be good because it doesn't help SC keep things going.

Please show me where, on this thread, you see someone advocating for free gems. I can't seem to find it

The only thing U can boost with is gems....so show me where you boost with something else? Oh right there isn't something...U upgrade with gold and elixer but boost and speed things up with gems so looks like I'm right.

So you can't show me where anyone calls for free gems?

And in your convoluted lack of logic, you have managed to prove my point. You can only boost with gems, so adding another boost would cause more people to buy more gems. No one is giving out free gems. no one even asked for free gems.
