As a win bonus u get some gems either 10-30 each or an amount to split
Somebody has to pay for that. Are you offering?
Theres stuff on base to remove for free gems who would have to pay for gems from war win...it can be free gems from supercell
It would be paid gems give out for free by supercell. Nothing in this world is freeQuote:

Im just giving ideas thats all i thought it would be a good idea .. so youre saying theres no free gems... removing stuff like trees and chests aswell as doing achievments arent free gems someone paid for them?
1. Please check the stickies threads for ruled-out ideas.
2. Yes, those are free, from SC. They have chosen to provide a minimal amount of gems (and gem boxes) to keep the economy going. Think of it like this: A company gives you a 20% off coupon. You are asking for a 50% off coupon ... with the reason that they are already giving 20% away for free anyway. What's in it for SC to give away even more of their product for free?
That's all built into their game economy and a cost they have previously agreed to cover. You are suggesting they should now cover additional cost.Quote:

So my question stands, you want something given out and someone somewhere has to pay for it in order for it to be available to be given out. Are you offering?
This is definitely not a good idea...Quote:

Its not like a company with merchandise its a game .. if i was the maker id do anything to make ppl buy stuff. If ppl feel ripped off they simply wont buy any. Giving alittle more will make ppl not feel as ripped off.
No, we love getting gems without paying. But any time we get them someone else has to pay somewhere. So we would all love what you suggest but you need to first find that volunteer to pay for it. So stop being snarky that we have a good point and put your thinking cap on. Find someone and get them to agree to pay and its a done deal.Quote:

Think of it like walking around a farmers market and a guy has an apple cut up for people to try. He is hoping by giving out a few samples it will motivate people to want more and buy them. He does not have to give out any for free. To be certain NOBODY is entitled to expect any for free. Selling apples is how he makes his money to support his life/family/business.
Coming back to the OP the bigger question is, "Does SC give away to many gems, not enough gems or just enough gems?" Considering CoC's ranking in the industry I find it very difficult to believe that they are not giving away just the right amount of free samples. However, I am willing to entertain that there may be room for improvement. With that in mind we ask the next question, "Does SC need another way to give away free samples?" This is more of an opinion answer but I say no. They already have ways to hand out vast amounts of free gems if they want to.
So gems for wars? While I would certainly like them I am pretty sure based on paragraph two above that A) SC already has the freesample : purchase ratio pretty finely tuned and B) there is no need to code any additional way of giving away their #1 selling commodity.
SuperCell give more than enough free gems, check achievements. You can earn gems by earning stars in clanwar and for the gold bonus you get after war
SuperCell is doing enough to give players that arent able to buy gems a chance to earn gems to buy all builders etc.
If you want gems but dont want to spend a few bucks, you can save up the trees logs mushrooms etc and clear them once a week. Dont spend the gems but save them up.
After a few months you notice what SC has given for free and you would be ashamed that you made this thread, unless you are greedy and only want more and more
You are aready getting a reward for war stars.....
This brings me to the question....How can someone feel ripped off in a game that anyone can download for free, play for free, and are not obligated to buy at any time, but can do a purchase if they want, if they want to have an advantage over others.Quote:

They exist in the game but they are sold for real money like apples, cars, shoes, guns, cloths, video games, etc. Gems are what SuperCell sells. They are not required in any way for game play beyond maybe a few free ones to get through the tutorial. They are purchased to provide an advantage that other players may not have. Just like certain fruit/car/shoe/gun/clothing/game distributors they occasionally give them away for free as samples/raffles/contests/etc. but gems are a virtual commodity with a very tangible monetary value.Quote:

I realize that much of society considers it unfair that he gets a Mercedes while they drive a hooptie or ride the bus. Unfortunately a misunderstanding of what the words "fair", "no" & "deserve" mean is part of the decay of our society (in America at least). Which leads us to this thread and many like it. The OP "FEELS" ripped off because somebody can afford stuff that they want. Because feelings are more important than rational thought or any statistically truth or reality a priority is placed on protecting feelings instead of truth or the rights emotionally stable.
Sorry it was so long winded Bock but I was trying to clearly answer your question. Even though I don't think you honestly needed it answered.
Yes this I part I get I know why but I dont understand why, isnt it much easier to be happy with what ya have than to be jeallous of another what they gotQuote:

Everytime I clear a tree or whatever and get some gems Im happy.
I cant buy them regularly but once or twice a year,
And I am happy that with my purchase I helped supercell to keep this game running
But thats how I look at life, Be happy with what I got,there are always people who have less then me,
And for those who have more as me... well Im happy for them but I doubt that their life is as happy as mine
