A better way to boost! [Read On!]

A better idea for reducing gem boost prices!

Many people have suggested that SC should change the 2 hour (10 gems) boost to 1 hour (5 gems) boost.
This, I believe is a legit request.
[You may skip all of this and scroll down to where you see red text]
When you are boosting, you need to be raiding every 5-6 minutes, which means you cannot do much of anything else during that time.

According to the Wikia, I figured that SC gives 92 gems from obstacles every season.
Plus, a gem box (or two, or three) if you are lucky.
Let's fix the amount (tentatively) at 100 gems per season.

Now, a normal player, obviously doesn't always boost his stuff.
But when he does, he will use an amount in gems between 10 to 90 to be able to boost just one building or all buildings respectively.

I personally feel that, every player who doesn't buy gems should be able to AT LEAST boost his spell factory every day (spells do take too long).
That's 140 gems.

And now, I am not asking for a gem chest, no.
THE Red Text
Here is what I am suggesting:
1) Give two boosting options:
a) 2 hours ---> 10 gems per building.
b) 45 minutes ---> 5 gems per building.

It is a profit for SC and for the players who cannot afford to buy so many gems per week. Win-win situation.

Let me know what you think!

Hmmm interesting take on it. I am a fan of the idea. (Metaphorically. I'm not literally a fan)

support, but dont think sc will change it

Good idea. I think you're the first person to recommend something like this while considering the financial interests for SC. I boost my barracks for farming and do the full 2 hours anyway, but I would definitly consider 5 gems for 45 minutes sometimes.

Mind if I quote that and use it in my sig?

Yep. I'm sure a lot of people would use these boosts. And it keeps the non-paying audience happy, which is very important for this game.

What! How dare you!!?
Haha of course not.

You see, I'm the only one in my clan who has lvl.2 witches and lvl.5 hogs; and in clan wars a lot of members ask me to donate them these troops. In almost every clan war I have my dark barracks full of troops (I still have to do my army you see) and it clears things up when I can boost the barracks for 1 gem in the events. I obviously can't pay 20 gems per week on boosting, but I can afford 10 to clear the donations

Yeah! I liked my own idea when I came up with it lol.
Usually I hate some of my own ideas :-P
