idea for builders.

[spiritofnex]

My friend had this idea for renting builders to clan mates and friends. The idea is basically that you can rent builders out for gold and/or elixer so you can upgrade that thing you've been trying to level but can't because its taking too long. My addition to this idea is that there is a weekly limit for you to rent builders from friends and/or clan mates. And I think you should be able to set a rate per hour so the person can be compensated for losing a builder for a few days.

If anyone has any ideas to help and/or constructive criticism please let me know

If I'm leaving anything out that you would like to know please let me know.

Haven’t seen this one before, but it’s not going to happen..

First of all, a workers value is astronomical higher than any elixir or gold you may have in storage, and second and most of all, trading with such a thing is ruled out .

Just tell people that want reduced build times to go with the Gem Boosted Builder ideas. It is even listed in the sticky thread as a possible idea that maybe added. Not to be confused with the multiple Builders on one building idea, which is ruled out. The Boosted Builder idea is much simpler and makes more people happy, including Supercell. Trading and balancing that, and making new code for it just isn't worth it when the code for boosting is already there, and just needs to be implemented for Builders if Supercell ever gets to finding balanced cost values for boosting.

Thanks for the input. I didn't know about the trading rule. Unless that goes away I guess I will keep this thought in the back of my mind. But the reason I added this was because when my friend had this idea was while he was upgrading something and had some builders left over.
Oh well. Thanks again!

I read with interest that boosted builders has already been mooted but as a bit of a combination of the OP idea and the boosted builder how about being able to assign two builders to one project with a view to halving the time?

This would be balanced as with two builders on one project, you will be neglecting other projects elsewhere.

From SC's point of view it would certainly make people think about getting builder 4 and 5 which would have an impact on gem purchases. From the players point of view you have the opportunity to reduce the time on the longest builds..

Go on tell me this has already been put forward??

Not to be confused with the multiple Builders on one building idea, which is ruled out (aka, 99% chance of not happening). The Boosted Builder idea is much simpler and makes more people happy, including Supercell.

Need to read the whole thread I do like people trying to solve the issue, but I hate the wasted time and effort put into things that have already been talked about before. Ruled out idea threads are considered so overly talked about, and already judged on by Supercell as not happening (likely not happening, unless under a blue moon, after a set ritual) that they are deleted on sight.

My apologies, I glossed over that line rather too hastily

[WarrenJames]

Many people skim, which isn't in of itself bad. It helps get to the point faster, but risks missing details.

Best habit to make here is just check the (almighty) sticky thread with the ruled out list. But! Make absolutely sure you are looking at the right list! Many people get the first list confused with the last list. First one is likely doable ideas, while the other one is the exact opposite.

Every Gem Boosted Builder thread has at least one, often several, people making the mistake of confusing the two lists because both are extremely long and easy to get lost in that thread.

After while, you get used to how to search it, and what keyword searches you need to do on the page to find the stuff you are looking for to quote to others.
