How many on here actually boosting collectors, mines, and drills?

I am searching in silver 1 as a th9. I am maybe seeing about 25% of players boosting. Been playing the game for about 3 years now and have never seen it this bad for loot. Seems like lots of people decided either boosting isn't worth it or they don't even bother to log on.

I boost de drills only because I make just enough to keep my builders busy but not enough to make more lava walls. Boosting will not give me enough resources for walls anyways...

Also I finished my lvl9 walls in about 2 months and I have upgraded 0 walls since the update being only half as active.


What are everyone's thoughts?

Drills only. I don't need gold or lix for anything but walls and air sweeper lvl 5. Don't plan on saving up 4.8m gold anyway, nor am I in a hurry with wall upgrades.

I just found out, so, just started.

I boost gold and elixir. Don't need de.

Absolutely, is only reason I have more then one builder running at the moment. Everything is boosted, wish I could boost twice over.

Boosting it all until it ends.

Same. Th9 drills only as most of my base is maxed except heros and walls. My th8 in champs is 1 week shielded and boosting elixir only.

I don't understand why you wouldn't, unless you had literally no use for resources (in which case, why play at all?)

I use to boost quite often. Mainly drills for heros and barracks for battling. Now nothing. Also most people still left in our clan didn't do the 1gem boost either. I'm not giving supercell a dime after this update. And let's face it, it will only entice someone to attack you

I am hitting only people who are boosting. Next past those who are not. In this economy with no way to protect it ... Easy milking targets. 10-15 hits a day and those gems are for nothing.

I am. My middle account was raided today for 869k lix (I think) and I still can't empty all the collectors, but I haven't raided on it for ages, I don't care, I'm boosting them anyway... I look on it as a way of helping out somehow..

Really? Boosting FTW! It is such an easy way to get free loot out of your own village, if you empty them once in a while it won't be stolen and after all it should definitely fix the game economy if everyone would keep on boosting their collectors.

Yea, funny to think about but for a base like mine, it just makes me more of a target.

You are an angel :D

Even when I didn't need loot in previous updates I boosted for anyone who raided me - even though they ignored my collectors fairly often for my TH

would a permanent 1gem/day collector cost solve the current situation? that would be novel...

As the gems required for 7 days of boosting is less than a week and a half's free gems it seems stupid not to use those gems on the boost.

I empt my collectors when my shield is about to go down. You are free to try to "milk" my storages, but I only get hit 3 times per day.

Boost everything. Why say no to free loot? If I don't use it now I will later.

I ran outta gems. Cause I haven't bought any in a long time..so not anymore. :/

My thoughts exactly BTW I boost all my collectors as soon as the boost ends I start again

Boosting away! And under week shield. Best net gain strategy at the moment.

On both of my th 10 and 8 accounts

Drills only. Since I don't get shield that often, I know if I boost collectors it will go to other people who attack overnight.

I have been religiously boosting my max level DE, Elixir, and Gold collectors :smirk: Helping to fix the Clash of Clans economy :smirk::smirk:

My raiding is bringing way more than what my collectors can produce, even boosted, but its how I am trying to inject into CoC economy, as loot always brings back to me.

Boosting all collectors till it ends, only way im seeing gain in the lix department.

I won't boost until either they roll back the stupid update and reinstate TH sniping and farming.

I'm not wasting gems on boosting when I can get raided 100 times a day with no shield gain.

Same. I can't keep builders employed like I use to so no reason to gem them free.

I did do all of them the first day until I saw it wasn't for a week. The few gems I get from obstacles I use on the drills.

When I have enough gems I will buy a week-long shield and boost everything.

As outlined here - It's Like a Monty Python Sketch


We need more of these threads. And, if you could, some extra complaint threads too. Maybe how ripped off you feel the boost is 1 gem a day and not a week. If you could do that, that'd be great.

I boosted all my resources collectors~

An extra 588/588/7.2 per day for 17 gems? Yup. My favourite two weeks of the year (as far as the game is concerned).

Well, let's hope it lasts as long as 2 weeks anyway! :)

Nope, not boosting. If i ever got a shield i would, but without one there's no point - I would just be giving it away unless I logged in every 5 minutes to empty them, and with the game in its current state, i lack the motivation to do that.

That's why I used a 2-day shield

Only boosting lixir on my th8 since I just wiped myself out putting pekka 3 into the lab. For my th10s it causes more trouble than it's worth with my limited shielding....

Just gold and dark, don't need elixer. Agree maybe at best 1/3 of people are boosting.

20 skips before I found a target...every single person in champ was boosting. I suspect I would have struggled to find someone who wasn't

People in higher leagues don't struggle to get shields so it works

I have been boosting on my main and my alt since the 1 gem boost began. My mini hasn't spent gems on anything but builders until this, so glad I maxed collectors on my mini now, they're bringing in lots of loot ^_^ As for my main, it's too hard to find loot so I'll take whatever I can get from the boosting and it has helped me get a few upgrades (lv5 barbs, lv6 WT). But unless this lasts forever and people keep boosting, it's just a band-aid solution to the failing economy :(

I'm th11 in champs 3 and only boosting elixir. I would say under 50% of the bases I see are boosting all 3. Which is definitely not the normal for a boost.

Yeah this boost has def shown the effects of the update. I don't think people are boosting or playing as much, me included. Even with the boost going on I don't see much of a loot improvement which is going to be tough when the 1 gem boost ends...

I boosted all my defenseless minis before going on holiday. I figured it would help the coc economy and was in the spirit of giving.

Upon arriving at the grandparents house I started checking on my bases a few times a day. Care to guess what happened?

All those defenseless mini accounts (9 of them) ended up with maxed out collectors in under 48 hours and have yet to be hit a few days now, clearly they were hidden from que very fast. Merry Xmas and don't forget to use that holiday $ to buy gems! ♥♥♥♥♥♥steal needs a new yacht.

BTW somethings wrong with my Xmas trees this year, they arnt spawning presents like last year😢, Xmas got shanghaied!

Ok before the update I was always boosted gold, elixer, and de, every 10 days I was farming the next 10 I'd trophy push, not th snipping, and doing that I had 10 to 12 million for upgrades every 15 days with loot bonuses and attacks and boosting, so then we get this update so I drop the boosting and do attacks, I have a full Max army before I was using gowipe, after the update high loot bases are 100k with loot bonus that didn't cover my army, so I switch to goblins and earthquake only, if I was lucky if get 75 to 100k, now if I manage to get in 4 attacks I'm doing ok but wait, everytime I'm attacked I'd lose 6/700 k back to square one, so to boost everything is 230 gems a day, now 10 days of shield is 500 gems plus 230 a day 2800 gems, after my shield is almost up I can buy 3 more days of shield 250 gems plus another 690 for boosting, now my math may be a bit off here but boosting produces 1,176,000 a day in loot multiply that by 13 that's a total of 15,288,000 in gold and elixer, so upgrade during this time empty your storages as much as possible attack for another 21 days for all the shields to come around have fun call it practice, so in a months time if your decent and lucky with your attacks loot bonuses and cheap armies you could easily make 20,000,000 in loot each even with loses thrown in, of course that cost money,
2300+500=2800 then 690+250 for a total of 3,740 gems, at an expense of $35.00 a month, now of course not everyone has or is willing to spend that on a game, and of course you can tweak that some and still play casually and at least get your base upgraded if that's what it takes, just an idea

Not using gems at all. First Christmas that I haven't used my iTunes card on coc :p

I'm boosting what I can but have no gems and only using what I get from cutting trees etc. I won't be buying any gems period anymore

Definitely a band-aid solution to a failed economy. This weekend was the first time I saw my storages full ( from boosting and raiding). I used to do 2-3 lava's a day...

I'm boosting my mines and drills. Elixir collectors I've done a couple of times but probably wont do so again after today.

Strange because I find Elix is the hardest resource to come by now after update

I did it twice, but then refused to, sc use to do it for a few days for 1 gem... Has SC really become this bad?

been constantly boosted using bush gems since the 1 gem event started.

Only boosting my DE drills, only have heroes to max at TH9.

In between messing around with Dragloon, am enjoying the odd revenge "milking" raid on TH 9\10s, with Barch+goblins 💰

It's not a band-aid solution. They do it every Christmas. This Christmas I'm boosting gold and elixir.

I'm not boosting anything. There is no point to it with the way the game is now. I do enjoy dropping a few archers on boosted pumps for massive profits, so I wish more were boosting lol.
