Change to the gem experience progression

An interesting reddit thread has popped up in which Sathram revealed data mined informations about the gem progression. According tothis informations gem will need around 100 million more experienced to reach level 20.

Some say GGG has made this change because PoE is going to have higher level zones, however as far is I know monsters in high level maps do not give much more experience. They are just less affected by the experience penality so that it only appears to be as if they would give much more experience.

Some dude collected data which supports my assumption:

I am looking forward to this interesting change because all changes to this game are at least interesting for me. But I am also a bit worried, because the average map gives around 1 million experience so I would have to do 100 more maps for level 20 gems.

I guess this is closely connected to how much xp the players gain by leveling through the content.

The gems you use from level 1 should keep up with the player's leveling curve more or less. It will be weird if you can't level your gems half the time because you are too low level.

from that thread appears also that is smoother to reach lvl 19 which is a really good thing imo.

for casters gem levels are more important than gear to some extent, and i always experienced a bad feeling from level 16 to 17 and expecially from 17 to 18, feeling gimped

seems like a good change, everyone and their mothers was using +1/2 items and this changes that... a bit.
Everyone and their mothers will still be using +1/2 items, but are a bit more ahead, makes casters/summoners/totemers/trappers happier while leveling, maybe no need to stop and level your gems?

This will put lvl20 gems at about lvl 93 or 94 I reckon. Or at least the amount of grind that would get you to 93-94 in non-expansion.

I guess gcp's will go up in value.

What are you talking about? You need almost 100mxp more for 1-20, that's crazy. Only those that quit chars around 70 might be happy.
