    Lightbulb Gift idea.

    Why not have it so when a player purchases a gem pack they can chose to check a box that sends a gift to everyone in their guild?
    smallest pack ( lowest price / number of gems ) gives 5 gems to every guild member.
    It goes up by 5 gems with each higher pack.

    This would NOT change with the "Happy Hour" sale, it would still remain the same gift amount.

    From BB's viewpoint:
    Cons:
    Coding work to have it read Guild data and send to all members.
    BB giving players something extra for spending real world cash on the game.

    Pros:
    Not a huge amount being given away.
    Promotes player spending more than the Happy Hour itself does.
    Coding is not excessive to implement.

    From the players viewpoint:
    Pro, a few more gems to use to improve their game.
    A check box is a minor thing to add to the purchase sequence, specially as it doesn't change purchase amount.

    Con: People will know if you do select to give the gift that you spent money.
    it isn't a huge amount of gems you are getting in the gift.

    Those I've spoken to in game mentioning this loved the idea and wouldn't have any problem checking the box to give their guild mates a few gems.

    I seem to recall another game doing this thing and I actually didn't care for it. I personally would rather more people buy gems rather than giving them away for free.

    There is another con you don't mention though - if people find out you bought gems and didn't gift them to everyone that could cause hard feelings.
