example... a 10 day upgrade time can be completed by paying 1,200 gems. a second button could read 'finish building 50% faster' 600 gems.

What's the difference between doing that or waiting 5 days and completing it then?Quote:

If you spend your gems on other things, then the 5th day comes around and you're still impatient, you'll probably spend even more gems.Quote:

See, this is not a problem. Well, it is for impatient people.
If you were patient, you would wait.
Cant you wait 10 days?
I have to wait for 50 days for my karate tournament, and I can't bribe the referees or my sensei with constant green gems. I'd need 2000 at least. But where am I going to get 2000 gems? With a pick axe or 20$?
im not disagreeing with you. i think this would give people an extra place to spend gems which would lead to more gem junkies breaking out the credit card. i would think they would love the idea of an additional place for consumers to spend their gemsQuote:

This makes it more likely that you'll spend more gems. I'm sure it benefits you as a player but would severely reduce supercells revenue potential too much.Quote:

Also lets say he spent the gems to double build time... Being an impatient player, wouldnt it just give him that much more incentive to gem the rest of the time halfway through.... Thus providing supercell with more gems spent than possible before..
Try thinking out of the box a bit from time to time
