Monetization and reducing build times

Hi. Could you reduce the building times for buildings? To upgrade your town hall to level 6 it takes 4 days and doubtlessly, more at higher levels (8 days? 16 days? Is it exponential?)

I don't mean to be rude again, but isn't that a bit ridiculous, eight whole days to upgrade one building unless you pay real money? I know Supercell needs to make money, but this gem thing is a bit over the top, 2BH. Can you reduce it to something more reasonable, because opening an app, tapping "Upgrade", seeing a timer saying "8 days" and shutting it down isn't really playing a game, it's just a waiting game, plus you have to pay real money or play for a REALLY long time to save up enough gems to get another builder so it seems really money grabbing.

I know you can earn gems through playing but you can't earn that many, only something like 2 or 3 gems in return for 20,000 gold or elixir (removing plants/stones) so it will take years to get enough builders to complete work at at least a reasonable amount of time.

Can you reduce it?

The longest upgrades right now are 14 days, they don't exceed that amount of time right now.
Perhaps you've missed the whole point of online statistical strategy games, generally they all have exponentially growing upgrade times. Ofcourse the first few levels are easy and fast upgraded but those are just ment to draw you in. As soon as you seriously start playing these games you'll notice those upgrading times get significantly longer.

4 days is a joke bro, i wish 4 day upgrades were still available for me xD But this game issnt ment to be completed in a few weeks/months. It's goal is to keep you (as a player) occupied for a year or 2. And that has to be something you like to do, if you don't have that patience this game might not be for you =P

Orcourse the speed of the village's growth depends on a few factors(if not buying gems):

- Did you spend your free gems? or did you save them to buy the builder huts?
- Do you farm alot? or just sporadic?
- Do you have all builders occupied on upgrades? or do you have them waiting for days often?

I'm wondering, What level are your buildings/troops and how long have you been playing?

Quite a good in depth response! I agree with what you're saying. Also, everyone who has already been playing for years has had to deal with these build times so it is only fair that they are not shortened.

Lol OP , sounds to me like you are not cut out for clash :saywhat:

But if you have more than one builder just stack em so you get one coming available every day or two, which gives you time to farm the resources needed for the next upgrade. We all had to deal with these times and manage
our builders accordingly.

Yeah, but you know games branded as "strategy" games? Usually they're mainly about building a base and getting resources to upgrade buildings and defend the base, and you train troops to go off and raid other players' bases. The thing with the majority of them is that build times take a long time unless you pay real money for green gems. (Not just clash, quite a lot of them use green gems for some reason.) And CoC is one of these I must say

I get what you mean, but basically it's opening up the app, tapping Upgrade, a 14 day timer springs up, and you put it away and come back to it 14 days later, or pay real money. I mean it's not really a game, playing a game means you have fun not sit around waiting for the game to annoy you so much that you decide to pay credits to speed it up. The thing, to be completely honest, not rude, isn't really the kind of thing you can actually have fun with because when you just do the 14 day wait, it doesn't really keep you entertained, IMO...
