I've spent a few $ for gems for the third builder, and was thinking about possibly getting more... but...
Since the upgrade:
I have not been attacked by anyone lower than me, though this used to happen before.
I have not been able to successfully defend any attack because now higher level players are attacking me more often...
I have been raided more than ever by opponents stronger than ever...
Only option is to play the game and raid opponents, or do nothing while waiting for the shield. (boring)
So now it seems that the game is almost becoming pointless...
Every time I attack, I score about 40,000 gold and lose my shield, when I get attacked, I lose, on avg 39.5K. Net gain:500. (And this is only gold...not even factoring in elixir)
With such a slow gain, it's becoming painful to save enough gold to upgrade my townhall...
The more gold I save, the bigger a target I become, the more I'm attacked by players stronger than me.
It used to seem like I was getting somewhere... but after having the game off and on all day (I do have a regular job...), I'm little better off than when I had woke up. I probably would have made more gold had I just stayed offline, gotten attacked then just collected through a 12 hour shield... but the point is not to stay offline, is it?
It's becoming nearly impossible to gain enough gold to upgrade my townhall unless I buy gems...
Like I said, pointless... No longer fun.
