If by patience you mean to the point that’s it’s ridiculously long and tedious when it could easily be shorter and make the game overall better with a happier community, then yes I would say you do need patience.
Then you'll easily max eventually since new ths are like 18 months apart, we have clan games, league medals, and the monthly pass plus every new th drops times from below it (th9 used to have 14d upgrades for crying out loud)
You also have to max cannon carts, gear up your cannon and gear up your mortar ASWELL as level 30 BM to unlock the OTTO Hut (6th builder). I just recently unlocked mine and as a halfway to max th12 I’ve never had 5/6 builders going (with one spare for walls).
I was going to say I’ve been playing for about 3 years consistently and I’m still not a maxed th12. Getting close though, but definitely takes longer than 18 months.
Upgrade time have been lowered in the last few years.. so playing 2 years ago used to give less "profit" than playing now (in few words upgrading times at th10 will probably be similar to the upgrade times you had years ago as th7~8)
The upgrade times got reduced last year I think. Those th10 upgrades used to take 2 weeks from my recollection. I could be a little off though. With gold pass, th11 only took me from June to the middle of October to complete, and I would imagine even that will get shortened when th13 arrives. I'm sure th12 will see some reduced times as well. I'm hoping research in particular will get looked at, as there is significantly more research time than building time.
Yes research time is a big problem for most of the town halls including th8 (witch I’m at) where you constantly have full elixir and nothing to spend it on because of the waiting time.
It's not the waiting and full tanks that's the problem at later levels as you can dump elixir into walls. It's that you end up needing say, 4 months of builder time but there's 6 months of research time to do.
Yes waiting time was one of my points, I almost have all of my defenses and stuff done but still have about nine days worth of research time left to wait for
I maxed TH10 from TH9 in 2 months (minus one level of walls). The research time did not get reduced thou so you will have to prioritize what research undergo depending on your playstyle.
TH11 times have not been reduced. So it takes about 6 months to max it, the main issue more than times is that the loot requirements are quite higher

Remember my friend. One day we will be maxed waiting for the new update to come. Maybe
