Gem Pouch Size Progression

Ok, so we are lucky for not starting with 50 gems slots?...

There is no purpose for this Gem progression to be so fast....

It destroys the whole purpose of having gems. ( to use them)

Why should we have to fill our Pouch up with Useless crap..?

And the 3 same gem limit....Why?

And why would anything done to us not be for our benefit?

Me and many others spend 100's of dollars to play this game.. Why screw us?





Im not attacking anyone, I just dont understand why we pay for something Thats not for our " Benefit ".

imagine your gem pouch like a CCG game, there is a build, a luck, and a random factor of drawing the cards or gems that u need to beat your opponent, this adds a strategy to your gem pouch instead of finding 4-6gems u like and continuously using them. imagine the lvl 90+ mage who just draws up his DD gem of 1-694dmg every time he get a gem... seems like it would be a pretty quick fight whether its pvp or pve...


just my 2 cents

But we shouldent be denied the power to make our own choice, Use my gems i like or use what gems i have to use to take up room cause we are " restricted " and it's "not for our Benefit"

For god sake, We pay for this game
We should atleast have the choice to
do what we want to attack with.

You're not restricted, you're given more choice

i pay for the game too, doesnt mean i can demand a weapon that deals 500dmg every 2 seconds... the argument that u pay for a subscription isnt a valid one...


if you build your gem bag correctly u shouldnt have a problem, if u like to use 6 different colours of magics u'll find yourself in a slight jam from time to time, but if u concentrate on 1-2 or even 3 magics u'll find that u'll get what u want most of the time.

I am ok with having a challenge and using strategy. There is something to consider however. A caster has to rely on their gems to do most of their damage, while a non-caster has pretty much guaranteed damage.

Now sure a caster can start out a fight with whatever gem they want, guaranteed. Most recastable are weaker then their non-recastable counterparts (or take a lot more mana/energy). So even if a casters gems do greater damage per second (which often is NOT the case when considering the same level for gems vs weapons) mana/energy is not infinate like swinging a weapon is. And if you don't get those recharge gems out because of bad luck, you could be in major trouble. (Or not so much luck as having 3 of them in a pouch of say 50).

Still it is not all that bad, especially when you open up the other pouches. Guaranteed Escapes, Heals, Damage Spells, etc. Even if you have to put some lower level gems in to fill the slots. Maybe however 50 is a bit too many (especially when facing a potential 3 pouches), or 3 of one kind too restrictive (5 maybe?) but it can be done as is. Even at level 18 my draw speed is amazing so even if I get a streak of horrible luck with things I don't need I do ok.

I can heal, prevent damage, and damage all at the same time with little problem.

Your all missing the point...No surprise..
The true point is, Instead of enlarging our puch at almost evry level, We should have the choice IF we want it larger!

Imagine if you had a gem pouch in real life, evrytime you got stronger would the bag get bigger? NO!

Not only does it make no sense, But theres no purpose, and not unough
Of a gem selection to keep it filled with Descent gems, use your head... Please

ur missing the point, u made a complaint about why something is and we addressed it. we are not here to debate how real life works i cant fire a bow to deal 160dmg to someone else...
whats to say that if hypothetically u had a gem pouch in real life it wouldnt get bigger when u gained lvls... this real life arguement doesnt fly

[Relic]

Yeah, Im sorry for confusing you style.
It's obvious you STILL dont get it.
Nevermind, I end my debate here.
Good luck, with yourself

dur dur i is dum... your use of hypothetical real life situations confuzzled me to no end... how ever will i go on with my life...


i understand what your saying and i'm saying your arguments are not valid, not everything is gonna be to your benefit, this defeats the purpose of the game if u cannot stand a challenge or complexity. just go play candy land if this really bothers u its also 30$ and u dont need to buy any upgrades
