Think . Just think. If both dark and regular elixer and gold and shield and boosts can be buyed with gems why not walls and clearly tell me why and i will honor ur opinions
Gems essentially buy time. That is all they buy. You can either speed up your barracks/spell factory/heroes to raid more often, speed up working builders, or avoid the time required to farm by filling up storages with them. You're trading money for time, but at no point do you get an advantage over a non-gemmer that they will not at some point be able to achieve.
By allowing additional walls to be purchased with gems, you turn the game from an effective freemium model to a pay-to-win. Players who do not purchase gems will not be able to acquire structural additions that players who do gem are allowed to get. It's an unfair advantage. I hope that was as clear as possible to understand why it's not a good idea.

Because none of those things are unachievable by players who aren't using gems.
Now if you're simply saying that you should be able to buy all the new walls you can get at each TH level with gems, as well as upgrading them with gems: you can. But it is highly cost-inefficient, just like spending gems to fill storages are highly cost-inefficient compared to using gems to boost barracks to farm that way for a fraction of the cost. But the option is available to you, nonetheless.

PLAYS OCCASIONALLY, NOT VERY EFFECTIVELY
Clarify then:
Is your idea that, on top of 250 walls you have at TH9, you want to be able to purchase upwards of 75 ADDITIONAL walls for TH9 with gems?
Or
Is your idea that, instead of having to buy walls with just the resources, that there be an "instant upgrade" type option that allows you, at NO discounted rate, to just spend the gems on the walls based on the equivalent costs of the elixir to purchase them?
In other words, instead of spending 1 gem for 1000 elixir, then buying 1 wall for 1000 elixir, you want to be able to just buy the wall for 1 gem, bypassing the need to convert your gems into elixir prior to purchasing the walls?
I had an idea b4 to tweak his idea by i read of letting u just buy the walls they could be obtained only at th10 through in game achievements such as completing all the current achievements, getting 1 billion gold grab or maybe even getting to 4000 cups. I think there should be two more ways and getting one of these achievements don't would yield u with 10 extra walls so if u do all 5 achievements U get a total of 50 extra walls.
(This is only for th10s to make up for the walls they don't get when they go to th10)
