I'm not sure why people are in love with this one.
It's a unique idea, but it's not good. Who wants to spend 15 years upgrading walls? That doesn't even make sense.
People should be able to upgrade walls as fast as they can earn the loot for them. As it is most people will not even come close. Your idea would ensure no one does unless they spend a boatload of gems on them.
Using a builder is an option...in addition to using gold/elixir. I like it because in addition to having too much elixir at the end of TH8, you also have idle builders. It's not much but it will save a little gold. If it takes the average person 1 month to max skulls, it might save you $6M gold if you have 5 builders and save one for upgrading the old fashioned way.Quote:

Yeah because saying something without supporting it makes much sense.Quote:

thank you all for the posts. if you don't agree with this idea please explain why a lot of posts have feedback thats irrelevant or doesn't match up with the idea. this suggestion is OPTIONAL and you can still level the usual way so it DOES NOT take years to fully complete walls or require you to spend mass gems.
I like this original idea. I couldn't find much that SC would object to, but I did think of one thing.
Everything that SC does, they always try to maximize user time spent logged in and actively playing the game.
If this idea were implemented, people with max defenses could simply go into lazy slow mode and upgrade their walls this way. They don't have to play the game anymore essentially, and still upgrade walls (albeit at a snail's pace).
Eventually, they would realize it's getting them almost nowhere and all this time they haven't been playing the game and found more entertaining things like going outside and playing sports, or playing a different game, or binge eating.
A huge part of SC's success is keeping people addicted to this game. That means maximizing online time, keeping players engaged and giving them lots to do and not be bored of. Much like a casino with their bright lights and enticing sounds and no visible clocks and pumping oxygen into the rooms........ they want to keep people distracted and spending.
That was all I could think of. I do like the idea, especially since it's an OPTION to upgrade walls, and the conventional method would still exist.

i see your point and i wont deny the time taken to complete would be shorter. however i also believe SC should release higher upgrades when the time is right (Town Hall 11, Level 12 walls etc...). as for addiction i believe making players constantly use all builders would increase the addiction.Quote:

I think the time is fair, as suggested, or reduced would be fine with me too. I am not sure why a lot of users are complaining that it will take 15 years to do it. Even if you went with ONLY Option 3, had 5 builders and dedicated them all to the walls nonstop, it does not equate to 15 years.
For level 11 walls
250 wall pieces / 5 builders = 50 wall pieces per builder
50 * 14 days (using longest build time) = 700 days
700 / 365 days in a year = 1 year and 335 days
For level 10 walls == 1 year and 235 days
For level 9 walls == 1 year and 135 days
Unless I missed something, please feel free to correct me. Either way, you could always dedicate 4 builders to the walls and leave 1 idle to build with either Gold or Elixir.
I don't know whether I'd be strongly for it or against it, I'm trying to look at it from the approach that SC should have taken when deciding to implement the elixir for walls update: are there any ways that this becomes unfairly exploited or cheapen the value of the game? also is it necessary?Quote:

It definitely benefits players who are struggling to keep all their builders busy, whether due to not farming as aggressively as others, or being "maxed out" at the TH they're at and simply wanting to boost their progress completing their walls w/o feeling like they're missing out on progression they could be making at higher TH levels. It wouldn't be a substantial boost either, again given the time required to build each level of wall.
I would rather see the current situation of elixir for walls fixed before something more unique like this is implemented, but beyond that I would welcome it, so long as it was introduced responsibly. That's the key word here, and Supercell has a history of not doing things in that way.
