If everyone except trophy pushers leave their TH outside, SC will go bankrupt

Do people even gem resources?

In fact, unlimited resources = full storages = capped storages with 0 builders = more gems used to finish build times.

You'd be surprised at how many people gem resources. Just look at the leaderboards. Heck, you must have seen at least a few of those bases where the walls/defenses are way too advanced for the amount of gold grab they have.

Regarding your "unlimited resources bottlenecked by builders therefore people will gem time" concern, yes I've thought of that too, but you are assuming that people who originally didn't plan on gemming time will somehow want to gem time now. Remember, with resources being essentially easy-as-hell-to-get/worthless (lol), having excess resource doesn't really mean anything anymore. And people who were already going to gem time will still gem time, so no additional gemming will come from them. Of course, some people who weren't going to gem time may convert and start gemming time in this new fantasy world, but although it is hard to gauge how many players will convert, I dare say that it won't be nearly enough to cover the lack of resource gemming.

This is all assuming under the current gem pricings and league bonuses of course.

I thought trophy hunters are not part of your target group for this fantasy.

Do you gem resources?

In fact, does anyone here who is not trophy pushing gem resources?

[IsntThisAStrategyGame]

Yeah but what about the people who never log off? The ones that will snipe 100+ ths and never get sniped themselves even after 6hrs as they leave TH INSIDE.

The people who will want to leave their TH inside in the new fantasy scenario will be one of the following:

1. Trophy pushers, who are done with snipe-farming and want to go RUMBBBBLEEEE. They will naturally float up in trophies into the big boys "I'm ready to fight" league.

2. People consumed by the dark side of their human nature (as mentioned in the OP, also indirectly discussed in previous posts about how this plan will probably never work because getting everyone to be aware AND adhere to the plan is insanely difficult)

How exactly is protecting town hall related to dark side of human nature?

This new fantasy world won't affect the current already maxed out trophy hunters. But the fact that many of them gemmed to that status can not be ignored. If this fantasy plan becomes the actual norm of playing CoC, all future potential resource gemmers (like the ones who have already resource gemmed) will no longer resource gem.

Take a look at all the recent complaint threads about hero nerfs. See how many people gemmed resources for the heroes, and be in awe.

Haha sorry, maybe "dark side" may be too extreme in wording.

I'm no psychologist, but there is this desire in many people to be better than others, sometimes at the cost of said others. Some people love to feel others as inferior to them. Some people do not like the idea of helping others progress faster at something the person him/herself is also striving towards.

Sheesh that sounds dark, but yeah, something along those lines.

If i were to dedicate my CoC career to cup chasing, i'm not gonna waste my time sniping TH after TH for 120k/120k/800, it will take a long time to accumulate say 2 billion gold (walls alone), and that is assuming i snipe in champs. So i'll still insta gem resources and time to max my base.

So all Olympic athletes are evil humans consumed by the dark side?

The basic premise that a mass participation TH-snipe festival would overheat the Clash economy is sound, especially if everyone was really active and breaking shields rapidly. The loot bonus in Crystal III is equivalent to an entire hour of maxed mines on a TH10, so if everyone just hit next once and seeded 22K into the game every 30 seconds it would be quite a substantial loot infusion.

There'd also be no gold leaving the economy through trap re-arms and extensive nexting.

Obviously its all quite hypothetical for a host of reasons and maybe it could have been phrased differently but I'm not sure why the OP is taking so much flak.

Wouldn't it be easier for everyone to just quit?
