This is the perception quite a few players have, 1 x 6 (or) 7 gold a second is not much gold. This is a perception.
1 set of fully maxed out gold mines produces 184 million gold in a year, if you decided to leave them on level 9 that would be 135 million, that's a 50 million difference. Well thats for a TH10 but for a TH7-9 we are only losing out on 43 million.
I see players will level 8 and 7 mines all the time, but they have level 8 Wizard towers and 100 level 9 walls.
They have lost out over the last year on 74 million they have just elected not to get.
I don't know how much gold you farm a day, I steal about 2 million. For me that's over a month of time. at a cost of 60 builder days worth of time. So whats that 12 days...
That's kewl, it's not a bug bear on my back either way, and like I said and which ever way you find fun.
I was merely trying to demonstrate that over time it is a substantial amount of gold.
As far as I am concerned it translates to extra attacks every day, attacks I didn't have the time to do.
My mines are maxed but my defence is not even at th8 level at some points..
