no gems for lvling up??? FTP becomes PTP

[AtomicKitten]

Here's the thing. The info source of gem reward for each level was external and/or added by users until the most recent update. I don't think BB ever made a promise to give a certain amount of gems for the lifespan of your (my) playtime.

The Terms of Purchase (which includes both monetary purchase and subscription; the term "subscription" is not to imply monetary purchase but agreement of use) and subsequent link state the following:

MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE

You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms of Use and additional terms posted on each particular Site.

The "product" you're concerned about is gems. They have given gems for free in the past, they're now reducing the amount of gems they give freely. And that's that.

i found the wiki post on the issue before leaving for work today, but didnt have time to post anything about it. thankyou meesher for linking to it here.

now if you all would visit tht site, and add up the total gems given for lvling both before the update and after, you'll find they dont match up. before the update the total gem payout for lvling all the way through to lvl50 was 5890 gems. now, after the update, the total gem payout for lvling all the way through to lvl50 is 5280 gems. so new players are still losing out on 610 gems, almost enough for another set of lisences.

furthermore, any players who were lvl30-lvl32 lose out on the 150 gems they wouldve gotten if they had reached lvl30 after the update. is anything gonna be done about those players not getting any gems they should've? please note that a player who got to lvl33 before the update would've gotten 170 gems, so all is good imo from lvl33 and on

look, im lvl44. if you look at the gems i've already gotten, and the increase in gem payout i'll now be getting for lvling, it becomes clear i am not raising these issues for myself. i genuinely do not want to see new players getting less merely because they found this game too late, and i also do not want to see mid-lvl players getting screwd by simply lvling at the wrong time. none of that is fair IMHO

I agree as well... I'm level 39, and looking at this table I'm sure lucky I got to level 39 before this recent update.

At the present moment it isn't possible for me to pay for anything online as I have no way to obtain a method of payment at the moment.

So, just like LostSoul913 has stated most free players would spend those gems on building licences as that's what's of much greater importance than the other items in the shop.

It's been tough enough trying to be productive enough to have the resources to do adventures and such, and as a direct result I've been playing over a year and I am only level 39 because I've been taking my time. Though I should point out I could easily be further along if I spent more time trading. I'm just really patient.

However on behalf of newer and lower level players, it's gonna make it a lot tougher for them to get those licences now that there are almost no gem rewards for level 33-39 (aside for the 150 at level 35).

This doesn't matter to me either way because I'm already level 39, and although I certainly like the addition to the levels 40+ rewards, I feel the current setup will only serve to hinder the growth of the game.
