User blog:Dustpirate/Do Stores become unnecessary?

Hi all,

I have noticed that some higher level players have very few stores, and the rest of their village is full of expensive decorations. I'm assuming that at some point it becomes more efficient to just buy whatever materials you need from the Market with coins. Is this true or is it just a personal preference? I personally feel that I have too many stores at the moment and wouldn't mind making some room for other things. Can anyone recommend at what level it's a good idea to start removing stores in place of more decorations?

Please take a look at my village and offer any criticism if you feel like it. (name: dustpirate). Thanks!
