    Trivia Prizes 50 Presents, Not 100 gems?

    What's the deal with changing the prizes from 100 gems to 50 presents?

    That's a reduction in the prize.

    In the merchant 90 gems = 30 presents. So for an 9% more gems you get 60% more presents. I call that a deal! Anywho this is not the first time they have given event resources instead of gems as trivia rewards. Also other servers, and this one for quite a while, did not have trivia events at all. So we could just be happy Blue Byte is giving us free stuff? I do not know, maybe I am just crazy.
    One army. Pretty please.

    Gems are MUCH more valuable than presents in reality though. You can get 50 presents with a mere 3-4 Very Long Treasure Searches. Plus I'm willing to bet everyone except for newbies have already pretty well ran out of stuff to spend presents on. It's not like there is anything that requires like 2500 event resources to get during Christmas unlike Easter typically. It really seems like gems would get more participation for it.

    I'm not unhappy with whatever piddling free stuff we get. Just wondering why we are not getting the usual 100 gems.

    Hello,

    We offered presents during the event to provide players an additional source of event resources. The math was simple, but considering your feedback we will be offering the usual gem prize in future chat events from now on. Thank you!

    See you in-game,

    Just remember before you whine that not everyone can be online enough to maximise event currency - and if you're not one of those who gets all the stuff there is to buy the first week of the event 'cos you play 18 hours out of 24, you might be glad of a few extra in a prize.

    Not everyone is a veteran payer who already has everything they need.
