Jewel Thief (Grimlins????)

This is an idea about creating a new troop desinged only for raiding/stealing gems. I say the troop should be a cousin of the Goblins.... Let's call them Grimlins. They should only take a small percentage of gems , be a little slower than goblins, and take up a few more camp spaces. If a gem box contains 25 gems, the Grimlin shout take 5 per box. You are not able to just loot for gems also. The entire base must be destroyed before attempting to loot for gems. NOTE: If Grimlin is killed or dies, "0" gems are gained. I think it would help with the economy of the game big time. With this idea, the cost of gems can be raised a bit all around the board. From purchase to boosting and rushing. Give it a thought and get back to me. NOTE: If my idea is considered please consider compensation of some sort. More great ideas for the game.

Me... Buys $100 bucks worth of gems for christmas. Gets a text from the wife, answers it, logs back in to see that some grimlins stole 2000 gems... ummmm no.

You're actually advocating for the theft of real currency.

No. When real money is being stolen, just no.

I like the idea of being able to hit a gem box, maybe not by 5 gems every time but by a random number like when you do base landscaping...could be 2-5 gems, could be none. Not stealing from what the defender has already worked hard to acquire though...as said before that can literally be theft of real life money...

:thumbsup: Totally agree

This idea only attacks the "gem box" only. Not the germs purchased. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. But I think it's great for "gemmers" who spend cash and those who's trying to save. I figure you can spend less but gain more. There is no way to loot for gems paid for with cash but there are gem boxes that appear. They are objects in the game containing loot. I don't see why the can't be hit. Like I said, not many gems has to be gotten but it's an easier way to accumulate more. I do think this would be great for the economy of COC. I think it's a win, win situation. If this idea goes through, I'd expect the costs of almost everything to rise a bit. Not much. Any thoughts?

Put it like that, think there should be a timer to when people can loot it?

Anything that can steal gems, even if it's only gem boxes, is a absolute no

yes. yes, yes yes

Thank you OP. Its been a while since I've had a good rant on how these ideas are bad. I appreciate it.

These ideas are terrible. Gem boxes are rarely found in a base, and I don't want to log on, find a gem box had spawned overnight, and find out that some noob looted 1/5 of it while I was asleep. Not to mention the farming for gems would TOTALLY throw off the CoC gem economy.
