More gems? No. No one will pay money to boosts barracks bu instead use the free gems they get. Supercell doesn't any money by spending free gems.

Okay......
Mainly i'm very positive with new ideas, even when they are sometimes bad in the financial part of CoC's revenue.
This idea is too bad, i bet that Supercell will lose at least 50% of it's revenue!
This game is free for a reason, freemium games ( mainly on mobile ) are 10 times more money makers than games with a fee to play.
This ( the boosts ) are one of the biggest parts of the freemium plan.
No offense ( Supercell ) but every company where you play games is mainly having their sight on money money money, players are just objects or name it gold mines.
Don't assume again that Supercell will come with something like this.... the 1 gem boosts that have/been giving away during december/christmass are just promotion actions.
Keep your heads up bro!;)
The 1 gem boost for barracks is so dang tempting to use. Used it once for a war, and then had to use it again for a raiding blitz. Would like for it to stay. But! I wouldn't be buying gems for it, since it is cheap enough for me to use every now and then, because you get enough gems from obstacles to pay for a few boosts. If anything, it is a way to introduce people to it's use, so they know what they are missing out on by not spending gems on boosting things.
As for keeping it; SC would if it was a benefit, both for them, and the game. I'm sure they got the numbers on how the 1-gem boosting affects the game's economics.
Lets face it, everyone would love this idea, except Supercell. So its really just down to how much their vote counts.
