$100 bucks a year is a great value compared to a $60 console game with 50 hours of content
You spend money, you are doing good. No need to feel bad. You are also spending your gems wisely by boosting your barracks.
Why feel bad?
Precious precious gems.

Just think, do you really think this game would be around if no one put any money into it?
Yea thats a good way to put it if you will but...
Disclaimer: I do not own any console system so I don't play those. I do not spend money on clash either.
The console stuff is like actually "buying a game" rather than spending money on a free game.
Logically speaking, anything in a free game is not worth for real money. Just sayin.
Wrong way to think of it, it's about the experience - enjoying it.
Anytime you go to the movies you shell out probably $20 odd for a ticket, drink and popcorn. You only have the experience, memory left after it.
If you enjoy something, it's worth paying for. Clash if enjoyable and has kept the interest for many a player for longer than 2 years in some cases - so worth putting in a few $$$ for.
You do but if that's the way you enjoy the game then why not. If you feel bad about it just stop spending so much money.
Consol games tend to have an easy mode option and you would have already spend £40 just to get the game in the first place. Difference in COC is that no one can tell whether you reached your goals on 'easy mode' or not if you are a booster. So why fret ?
Clash on!
After 2 years I finally spend money a fortnight ago and don't regret it one bit. In fact, I'm probably the idiot for not spending money so much by now. All the hours some of those gems could have saved me hahahaha.
The fact of the matter is everyone spends money on different forms of entertainment. I'm a huge cinema nerd and go to the big screen at least two times per week and the Arthouse cinema when I have the chance as well. Unless I go on cheap night the Imax is costing me $18 for the show. So yeah, it makes no sense that I cheap out on gems for two years but I'll pay $18 to watch some Hollywood actors shoot each other. For those two hours of cinema entertainment I could have boosted my racks for 20-40 hours or gemmed my hero time 3-4 times. To each their own.
Look at how much money people spend on a purse, pair of designer jeans, shoes, hat etc only to ever wear them a few times.
How much money does someone spend when they go out on the lash only to have a headache and blurry memory the next morning? Or worse yet, that unwanted pregnancy that will cost you 18 years of child support?
How much for that sports event (NFL, NHL, NBA, etc)?
That ridiculously overpriced cup of coffee (tea, glass of wine, beer etc) you get almost every day?
Console and PC games have been covered.
The list goes on and on.
If you enjoy it and you are not harming others then enjoy the heck out of it... In fact, by spending money on gems you are helping the clash community by keeping the game alive for everyone!
Be proud! You did a good thing! You not only made it easier for yourself to accumulate resources much faster, but kept the game free for everyone else. I salute you good sir ;)
I get stubborn about certain things and won't relent lol. But, after playing for 28 months with a HH of near 5mil and only L20/22 heroes (as I hate not having them for war and everyday fun) I decided to drop $50 on gems which will gem my AQ time 10 times (usually get away with 2-3 days of not needing her in weak wars and then gemming with 4-5 days left).
Luckily I bought the gems the day before the prices went up by $8!
who says "a fortnight ago" come on lol
Feeling bad? Easily fixed. Stop doing it :P
i use 20$ 129 DKK every month on 2500 gems and i use them for barracks only :) and then i save up for my heroes to get rid of the time for war only :)
i'd say i use my gems wisely.
