I think there should be a new dark troop that could possibly scavange gems up. How?...
People that dont play anymore can often rack up a lot of loot. But, also have some bushs to trim up, trees to cut, and dead trunks to get rid of. Why not make a troop to get rid of it all during an attack. Maybe a scavanger troop like the goblins that can move fast have low hitpoints but can tear through the trees and unwanted mess to give you the gems! This in turn can give more gems to the people who play and in turn i think make the game a slight bit easier to get gems! Tell me what you think?
No. There's nothing stopping this idea from happening to active players.
You can also already get gems easily: by purchasing them. That's the whole point of gems, so supercell can make some money off the game. Granted it's now probably a lot of money, but it's a way to support supercell.
