Personally on average it take 4-5 obstacles to boost 1 barrack so I think it should be 5 which would encourage more gems being boosted.

they used to cost 24 gems for 45 minutes, id say supercell have already been more than generous
No. It would encourage those who dont pay for gems to use them. 10 gems can go a long way if used at the right time.
I thought I was in the general forum.. Oh yes I am..
I remember the days where boosting cost 20+ gems for 45mins. :rolleyes:
Dang I didn't know that but I do I know that there was once a waterfall!Quote:

The strategy is simple. Once people get used to getting a reward easily, they crave for more. And now, they are "more willing" to pay for it".
Trust me, it was majestic. Can't believe I deleted all my old photos, thinking they were just a waste of space :(Quote:

Loot was so much better back then too. It's no coincidence that cheaper boosts affected that.Quote:

Cheap offense boosts do more harm than good.
5 gems for 1hr would encourage people to gem more imho as it's just like how micro transaction work, you pay a little at a time and before you know it you've spent a lot.
Why don't we lower it to 1 gem permanently?
Why don't you just suggest that they stick to 1 gems for boosting? Duh.Quote:

I can't believe some people. Want all the advantages but are too cheap to pay for it.
I hope they raise it to 15 gems.
Back in the day when I was an arcade rat(I would still be if there were any good arcades left), people would pay $1.00 for 15 minutes of a game, if they were good at it. It was usually more like $1.00 for five minutes.
Now on CoC, people can pay $0.90 for 2 hours of raiding (boosting the barracks, DB, heroes and SF).
Seems like pretty good value.
Or you could pay $9.00 to go see a movie. $12.00 if it is in 3d. Then add popcorn and a drink....
No. Just no.
The more cheaper it is to boost, the more clashers will boost. As a result, loot will be even more worse.
The sentiment is lovely.Quote:

SC can think of lowering the gem cost to boost, so our storages will get full faster, thus making us gem our builders... Rinse and repeat.
I hope they rise it to 100 gems a barrack, so no one boost anymore, then they quit the game and at least I can stop nexting.Quote:

You dont have to. You can have it for free. Slowly.
Or you can pay a little to have it four times as quickly. Or a lot to have it instantly.
Those are the choices. Boost prices are pretty damned reasonable to me. Yes i would prefer cheap boosts all the time, who wouldnt?
Hero regen is just over half what it was, boosts are vastly cheaper than they used to be, yadda yadda. They didnt do this out of generosity, merely from a business prospect of less gems per boost or head, but more than compensated for in volume. They succeeded.
So, applaud the acumen, make one of the 3 choices above, and stop moaning.
Ignorant of what? Arrogant, perhaps.Quote:

This might be good for them, as it will get more people hooked on gem boosting, or in general make people happy :)
Only boost I would like to see reduced is the DE drill, not 1 gem, just down from 30 per max drill. I would probably boost it nonstop if it only cost 10 like other collectors.
If it was that low it would only cost 20 gems to boost all barracks for 2 hours. People would get way too much monies too often if it was 5 gems.
5 gems would be great if they would also lower the duration to 1 hour. But 5 gems for 2 hrs ...nah 10 is fair enough...it used to be soooo much more pricey ....this feels just about right now, especially since the trees give you so many more gems and you get gemboxes.
Gems accumulate a lot faster now than they used to.
But I would like a 1 hr option, that would be perfect :cool:
I agree with you... one gem boost was great and now that wants ten makes me very sad.....Quote:

Eh they should leave it as permanent 1 gem boost for everything. People would get tired of it soon enough and wouldn't constantly attack anymore.
The 1 gem boost was a freebie like a thank you.
supercell still needs to profit. Therefore, in hopes of you buying gems, they're not going to just practically give you enough gems to boost or lower the cost of boost to where you can. If you want to be a free player, exercise patience. If you want to boost but don't have the patience to earn/save gems... Buy them.
I hope we can pause the boost.
But never really look forward to. Sc is entitled to do what they think the best for their games.
Cheers. 😁
wow ! :eek:Quote:
