Combined work of Builders

[jmcy]

I think that instead of using one builder to upgrade something that takes a large amount of time, such as a Town Hall, You could ask more builders to help upgrade the building at an extra cost. For example, if I had 3 builders available and wanted to upgrade my Town Hall and It cost say 1,000 Gold (Just an Example) and it took 4 days to upgrade, I could add one builder for 25% of the buildings cost and it would take of 25% of the time. After adding said builder my upgrade would cost me 1,250 Gold instead of my starting 1,000. Also instead of taking 4 Days to upgrade it would now take 3 days because I have two builders working on it instead of only one.

Hi.

This is one of the most suggested ideas on the forums, and it happens to be ruled out by Supercell.

There's a sticky thread people are asked to read before posting an idea, it's here: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...rum-guidelines

Currently Ruled Out:
Here are some amazing ideas that have been ruled out by the dev time for the time being. Posting these ideas will result in your thread being locked!

Frequently Requested:
*Donating (or trading) resources or gems to (with) other players
*An exchange building to convert between elixir, gold, dark elixir, or gems
*Assign multiple builders to one build/upgrade
*Upgradeable builders’ huts – lvl 2 huts for a 5% time decrease?
*Player search function
*Ability to change village name
*Active/ Live “Online Status” examples: colored icons, on/off indicator, etc.
*Indicate last online date
*Remove the “Report” button/feature from global chat. Abused too often, and mute is better solution

oh and if you're wondering why it's ruled out, it's because it's overpowered.

You may at first thing you're using up the same amount of builder time, yes this is true.

But if you consider building down time due to upgrades (for example, 3 builders upgrading 3 Air Defenses simultaneously means you have 3 ADs out of commission. If you could put all 3 builders to work on one AD, not only does it build 3 times as fast, but you only have 1 AD down at a time, which puts you at a huge defensive advantage.

Supercell (SC) wants you to upgrade all 3 ADs slowly and simultaneously, then once you can't stand it anymore, you use/buy gems to speed up the process. This results in money in their pockets.

Long story short, they make more money when you cannot stack builders to a single upgrade; hence, it is ruled out.
