Ancient Wonders Change Ancient Wonders to use boosted *goods*, not boosted *relics* on upgrade

I'm sure this idea is too late, but maybe it can influence the design of the next round of AWs with the next guest race.

Currently:
When upgrading AWs to levels 2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10, relics are used from non-boosted and boosted goods.

Using relics from boosted goods seems counter to everything the game "teaches" players about the importance of boosted goods and gaining a good boost rate. Only one AW (Mountain Halls) gives any boosts back for your goods.

My suggestion - AW upgrades should use :
Non-boosted relics (as they currently do)
Boosted Goods (not relics)

The quantities of boosted goods to be used could be reasonably large so that players have to save up for a while, e.g. 50,000 or 100,000, but this would be far better than the permanent non-recoverable reduction in boosted good production that currently comes with AWs.

Example:
Upgrading a level 1 Crystal Lighthouse to level 2.
Current cost (if you have Elixir boost):1 Magic Dust relic, 2 Gem relics, 4 Elixir relics
Proposed cost (same Elixir boost): 1 Magic Dust relic, 2 Gem relics, 50,000 Elixir

+1. but how are the game developers going to do about those who have already built all these AW with relics?

How about having them just use non boosted relics?

@s5carrot - as I said, it's too late for the current Elven/Human/Dwarven AWs, but I'm hoping they can bring some consistency to the design for the next round of AWs (fairies or whatever), and stop hitting the boosted relics !

@Slotharingia - that would work too, I always assume that if we ask for too much, they'll just ignore it, so I put in a compromise
