To buy or not buy builders for real money? - Philosoraptor

Hi, I'm Piggy and I'm fairly new since september playing I think. I'm sorry for my bad english and long text.

I like raiding/farming so much but I find myself cannot do it much because it's so quick to have full storages and walls done and no upgrade project to spend money or elixir on because my 3 builders are always busy. The cost to upgrade is so small compared to upgrade times so my storages are always maxed and full even if I dont play much.

For example I maybe get 180-200k gold and then I can raid 3 times for put my builders on 3 one day projects. Then I can raid maybe 5 times more for that day before I get full storage of 1 million and then farming loses point. :straightface:

I thought hmm, maybe I should buy the last builders because maybe it will make me have more to do and can raid more. But then I become philosoraptor to think about how this is game about time. If I pay for time then what am I doing. It looks like it take away the challenge then for me?

I dont know how else to explain, someone else feel like it loses point if pay for it? I dont mind paying for games, but this particular where a very big part of game is about time and manage time it looks odd to me to pay to get around it. Im hesitant because I worried if I buy the builders I will feel no sense of accomplishment anymore because I will know I could just buy everything and finish game if I had money. Then game loses point.

Can anyone relate to this? Did you buy something and then lose sense of accomplishment or point?

Maybe its just me thinking too much, I am known to overanalyze things and think too much about simple things like a philosoraptor. I always wish i had better brain.

Sorry for write so long and thank you in advance for your time to read and reply.

You can get them all for free but you need to hit champ to get the gems which may take a while. You can get them all for a cheap price of $20. It's worth it.

My friend. . "I haven't wasted a single dime into this game"
I have 4 builders, I went to th7 Max with 2 builders (yes 2 builders) than my friend bought me a iTunes card and I got the third builder and dumbly hemmed research time. At mid th8 my sisters bought me another iTunes card and again i dumbly hemmed research time and bought 4 builders. Now im a new th9, and Id like to earn the 5th builder and push to champs league.


















As I said I HAVENT wasted a single dime of my money on the game. :smirk:

If you're thinking you'll lose any sense of accomplishment when you buy gems, then I challenge you to hit Rank 1 Global with all the gems you can buy.

Take his advice :smirk: don't do as I did.

I think you should get your builders. They will help you immensly. I have no problems with you buying your builders and do not think it takes away from your accomplishments because you still have to earn the resources to keep them working. But if you think that this minimizes your game their is a way to earn the builders without spending money, which is to push to masters (1000 gems) and then push to champs (2000 Gems). Either way they are well worth it and needed to make the game more enjoyable. Clash On

That's just showing off... :smirk: goodjob on hitting #1 global rank.

i think dropping 20 in the beginning is totally worth it, especially later when build times go up

I'm not sure what stage you're at with the game, but getting your third and fourth builder is fairly easy if you complete your accomplishments. I had four builders until TH9 and it suited me fairly well. Once I reached Champs, I got my fifth builder.

If you haven't already done so, start trophy hunting; first to 1250, then Crystal, Masters, and finally Champs. Like I said, I'm not sure where you are in the game, but it is definitely not necessary to pay to play this game. For reference, I am at TH9 and have been playing since 2013.

It will get a bit tougher to keep your stores full once you reach higher TH Level.

Don't worry, farming at the lower levels of the game is EASY and always will be easy for those accomplished farmers like yourself.

I would definitely not spend real money on buying the builders huts as they are so easy to achieve. If you go to 1250 trophies, you get 450 gems. 2000 trophies = 250 gems. 2600 = 1000 gems. And if you've already spent some of your gems, you may have to go to Champions league, but I still haven't done that and I have all my 5 builders.

Instead of farming, try pushing and see how far you can get. Then once you've got all your builders, you'll be able to farm quicker and more efficiently.

Alternatively, buy gems, become addicted and waste all of your life's income on gems. :D
