20% Gem Recipe NOT A BIG DEAL!

90% of the community doesnt even have a level 20 gem on any of their chars
my char is 79 and my gems are 18-19

it takes a lot of time to get gems to 20 and would you really give up ur level 20 gem that took that many hours just for a level 1 20% gem that you now have to level all over again?

yes a few people are gonna make a buck
the people that nonstop run level 75+ maps might get level 20 gems in a week playing 8-10 hours a day but they have enough wealth that that really isnt gonna affect much anyway

if you play 70+ hours a week and nonstop group map run 75+maps sure you might be able to get gems in ur wep swap to level 20 in a week maybe 2
but those players are already rich and they play this game like a job
all this is going to do is make 20% gems easier for players such as myself who play far less to acquire

THIS IS A GOOD THING

Hi there,

wasnt intending it to be
just amazing at how people are responding and that they dont seem to understand how much time it takes to level a gem to 20

changed title

Yeah I feel the same. I've been playing since closed beta and my highest character is level 69 with level 16-17 gems. This new recipe isn't going to affect my current characters at all but I think I will start levelling some gems in my other weapon slot for future builds I'd like to make. Other than that, I don't think I'm going to use this new recipe.
