1 Hour 5 Gem Barracks Boost

[lbt12to12]

People are too reluctant to spend gems.

Every week, you earn around 30 gems just from removing obstacles. You also get all these gems form achievements and stuff. You can:

-Play an hour before an maintenance break (check Supercell forums)
-Somehow free up your schedule to where you get 2h of break
-Just spend the gems!

Most people with some willpower buy the 5 Builder's Huts with free gems, and will not spend a single gem until that happens. Sure there is what.. 30k of gems locked up in achievements (says in the wiki iirc) but much of those are late game goals. I'm TH7 and just recently got my 4th Builder. Odds are it will be mid TH8 before I get my fifith, or later!

Most people like me never really get the feel for 'gem-ing' troops, or boosting things because of this. Plan on making a thread to address this when I get a better idea hashed out.

Now this makes sense. However where do you get the "most people...never really get the feel for 'gem-ing' troops..." Just curious. How do you know "most" TH7 and later don't boost troops with gems? We can either drop the you're an idiot and I'm so smart rhetoric and have an adult conversation, or I can revert back to picking you apart. Do you have any data to back this up, or is it just a gut feel? Which btw there is nothing wrong with.

I would favor this idea to be added. With busy every day activities in my life (maybe with others too), this would be a good feature to change. And if I just happen to have more than 1 hour to spare (very rare occasion), then boosting again is not an issue or inconvenience.

Still amused how 20 cents is killing ya'll. PLEASE SUPERCELL change your pay structure, which is broken because these guys will spend more if you do.

BTW PacMan was a 25 cent game, I believe I had assumed you'd be a big spender back in the 80s and spend an entire dollar at one time. My mistake.

Bad choice of using PacMan as an analogy. If you spent a dollar on tokens but only had time for two games, you don't throw the unused tokens away. You put them in your pocket to use the next time. Congratulations, you just reinforced his point.

Guess yall are gonna complain about the 1 gem boost now?

You can find any point you want. Somehow you've managed to lose track of "the point". IT'S 20 CENTS, oh yeah I just cleaned up 4 trees and mushrooms! Found 13 gems WAHOO I'M RICH according to you!

Loven the one gem boost. I've even done the one gem boost for 45 mins. I TOTALLY wasted what, FIVE gems. OMG what a crazy spender I am!

If u have no strength to use gem, then u can just wait.
The boost is there, its up to u, either to use it or no.
Supercell sell their product in "gems" way, its up to u to buy it or no. If u love the game, u wont be too hard to make sure COC live longer, by supporting supercell ( buying gems). U have a life, they also have their life. Be considerable, not selfish.
They gave u free gems everyday, now u keep on talking to make things easier for u, but hard for them.
I believe, 2H boost vs 10 gems is already fair enough for both, player and supercell.

I'm liking both the 1hour boost or the pause button, either will do for me.
