    Take builders to war!

    I don't know if this has been brought up but...It would be nice to be able to take builders to war and use them to acquire gems by stealing gem boxes or trees and shrubs. You could disable builders use for a day after use in a battle.

    It has been suggested. It's a terrible idea that should never be implemented.

    No one gets to mess with my village but me. If trees or gem boxes are present it's either because I want them there, I haven't had a chance to remove them, or I don't have a builder free at that time to remove them. In any event, those gems are mine. Not yours.

    The gems are part of the game...much like elixer and gold. These aren't gems bought by real money...so you would only be losing what the game has provided to you. No different than losing other resources

    It's completely different. I'm not sure how you don't see that. There is a reason people cannot raid gems.

    I understand completely. But You would not be raiding banked gems. And trees, shrubs, and boxes can re-spawn post raid with a percentage of gems left...ie post raid gem box may be left with 17 gems instead of 25. And bushes with no gems in them....well you don't lose anything and raider doesn't gain any thing.

    Nope. Do not support. Those are my gems given to me by Supercell. They aren't yours. No one wants to login and see that someone has cut down all their obstacles and looted their gems. That is not fun whatsoever.

    Also gem farming should never be a thing. It would completely undermine the thing that SC is selling.

    Dont give me "those are my gems, and not yours" SC provides gold and elixer which people can steal....and I said the tree, bushes and boxes would respawn post raid just like every other structure does, so you wouldn't be losing anything. And disabling the builders post raid for a day or week would prevent people from "gem farming". Since you are not purchasing the gems in those structures they are part of the game just like gold and elixer....and I'm just proposing that through the use of builders a raider can steal a percentage of those from obstacles you chose to leave on the board

    its a bad idea to begin with, but your saying disable builders for a week after you use them????? your becoming insane now. i use 2 builders and get 5 gems from bushes, and now i have 2 weeks of no builders and i only gained 5 gems for all this? (1 week each would be total of 2) If this was EVER implemented (which I'm 150% sure it won't) there would have to be like a 1 hour penalty. and even then a person can go down to anywhere from 0-800 trophy range where low levels have LOADS of bushes and i could spend a week or 2 there and rack up a couple hundred gems. bad idea. sorry

    I know what you said and it still totally baffles me that you don't see a difference. You also mentioned that the items would respawn with fewer gems in them so...yeah I do lose something. Now I'd be ok with you being able to do this if it didn't impact me one bit. That is, the respawned items give me just as many gems as before you chopped them down.

    I don't think SC is going to be very fond of the idea though since this is basically creating more free gems without bound out of thin air.

    Yeah you keep saying they are just like gold and elixir...but they are not. The fact that you can't raid them should kind of give that away, but I guess not. Let me be more blunt:

    THE FACT THAT YOU CAN'T RAID GEMS MEANS THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AS GOLD AND ELIXIR.

    Right...and somehow you believe that I'm not losing something? Come again?
