Take builders to war!

[Moldy]

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

Dropping trophy count to gain recourses is not a bad idea...but with that said you could put a bottom line on when builders can be used...so let's say attacker has to have gold shield. And 1 hour is way to short 12 hours to 2 days is reasonable for the amount of potential gems. And using builders is a gamble because curtains obstacles may have no gems in them...one builder per attack.".limit gems stolen per week to 50

That'll take the purpose of people buying them with real money. The creators will lose money rather than gain, that's the whole point of games like these if they can't gain they wont do.

Perhaps the dumbest idea ever. Not thought through at all, even with all of the obvious feedback.

No new player would EVER get to keep their gems.
I would drop to 0 trophies and use healers (so the builders can't die!) and builders to mine ALL of the gems from new players that I could.

No new player would ever get to keep their gems, they would all go to players that wanted gems.

The fact that you have to keep adding modifications to your idea pretty much PROVES that it's a terrible idea.

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

Then again you dont get gem collectors to collect gems from a building
