Time to look towards a barracks change

We all know this idea has been ruled out, but I think it's about time to reconsider why it's ruled out and change it. The point of updates and changes are for new features and to make somethings easier and make more time efficient for us clashers. So I think it's about time we can add a permanent army technique to the barracks so we don't have to constantly go back and edit the army. We could use a permanent army layout option because It gets annoying having to constantly input the same things over and over again. Sure it's been ruled out, but why? It would benefit all.

The only real problem I see is that the barracks can only store a limited amount of troops at a time. Well I think it's time to get rid of that. Some of you will say that the point of upgrading the barracks is to add me troop capacity which is true but really isn't the point of an upgrade. People upgrade for the new troops, not for an increase in capacity. An unlimited supply of troops would also be bad as stated in the comments below but maybe change the game to a layout where at all times you can train up to your army maximum for troop storage. So if you have 65 troop space in camps, combined with all the barracks the overall limit would be 65. But still when you already have 65 troops you can store up to 65 more so the only thing changing is the numbering system. So then if you have a max space for 200 troops in your camps you can train up to 200 troops combined in your barracks and so on. The layout editor for armies could be set up in another window like the base layout is or however supercell wants to do it. Basically let's just think of why we have ruled this out, maybe there is a way to implement the change. Seriously this idea is requested every day and we always see the same comments, "welcome to the forums, please search and check the threads because this idea is ruled out. Blah blah blah" yes we all know that. But it's time for change. It's one of the most popular requests and just because it was ruled out a while ago doesn't mean it shouldn't be changed now. We have been given the opportunity to save base and war base layouts, so I think it's time to save barrack layouts. It would be a time savor and just be a nice little addition to the game.

Now feel free to leave some comments on why you agree and why you don't agree. If you don't agree try to give a good reason why you disagree. And yes for those of you about to post "it's been ruled out" I already know that and said that throughout this post. I just think it's time to get it implemented.

I still don't see why this is seriously needed. It would be annoying for me to have to turn off the auto-refill every time I change armies, which is really every attack.

It wouldn't be an auto - refill, it would just be another click like basically another troop icon. An auto refill would be a bad way to implement this since people wouldn't use the same army everytime. Instead it should just be saved under a certain icon so you can automatically load it to the barracks if you choose too. But a good amount of people would like the idea.

Great but old

I guess with all the previously thought bad and OR ideas finally curving their way into COC, why not lol. (lightning rod *ahemm*) Its a good add into the game so I guess I'll support it.

If this is added to the game, kiss Elx and De raids goodbye

Why? because people will use their barracks as banks! when you go offline, queue troops using all your elx and de. When you come online and need some ress, un-queue them and get the ress back. There will be absolutely no more elx and de left to raid.

What he said.

Also think like this: you upgrade your dragons to level 2 lets say they cost 2000 elixir more, just before your dragons finish upgrading, you fill a barrack with as much dragons as you can. The upgrade finishes and you cancel the training of all your dragons, that's +2000 elixir for each dragon, so when you manage to train like 1000 dragons, you get 2 000 000 (!) elixir for FREE...

:p
You are right, I should change how I tell new forumers that this idea is ruled-out hahaha.
.
I know how it feels to get excited about an idea and to post it in on the forum expecting to get good replies but you find someone telling you this idea is ruled out.
.
Although it's not my fault that this idea is ruled-out, I feel sorry a little bit when I tell be that.

Ok nevermind, your point is 100% accurate. Yeah an unlimited storage isn't the best idea I see. I still think a barrack army saved formation is good but it has to be done differently. But your point is very good. I am taking that part out of the original post.
