this will decrease gem buying wish will reduce their income
Although I think this idea is good, I doubt this will ever be implemented as it will make players use less gems.
Regarding those who say that this will make people pay less for gems, I have a simple alternative:
Reduce the training time for elite troops only. Why?
If you reduce the training time for all troops, people have less incentive to gem barracks overall. However, if barch still takes 15-20 minutes to cook, that's not going to affect boosting for barch.
However, if training times for elite troops are reduced, people will use them more. If you use elite troops more, you still end up waiting longer than if you barch or GiBarch or whatever. So, you'll still be tempted to boost, even if the times are reduced.
In fact, you might boost more. I can barch at 15-20 minutes per army. Mass dragons is at least 90 minutes, if you have all 4 level 9 barracks. Balloonion? That's over an hour too, isn't it?
If you made it take 10-25% less time, it's still a heck of a lot of time. So it'd still worth it to boost. Reduce training times by 25%, and at worst, you reduce gem sales by 25%, but only for people who are boosting the elite troops. And I bet some people don't use elite troops, even if boosted, because they still just take so long. But now they might consider it. Put it all together, and I doubt it would really have a measurably impact on gem sales. In fact, I bet at first they'd go up, from people trying out the faster wizards and dragons and balloons. Pushing to masters with balloonion?
So, if we only make changes in the balloons and up (the troops that currently take 8+ minutes), then the OP's suggestion isn't too bad. Except for dragons, no way they should be lowered from 30 minutes to 20. Why not 25?
I think intsed of making the barracks time redused it should be the troops like wallbreakers, healers, wiz, drags and pekas times reduced
