Alright after people commented overwhelmingly about the new gem release that they need to add a way to change your gems I put a lot of thought into it and think its a win win for EVERYONE. Here is why;
-players who have lost interest or quit because of their gems they invested a lot of time and money in will return to the game or be revitalized to not only play but pay again
-low spenders and high spenders alike will be able to generate platinum again because useless gems like hellfire and zwensons and conc will will once again have a purpose and likely drive up prices
-people will get a dopamine tick again from running crests and getting ANY X/5 gems
-if they implement it so that it is a hefty price in the shop like $100-$200 it will generate revenue at a large amount for the game and they can make it a once a month purchase so that not everyone is all of a sudden using the same gems. I would also think it is possible to make it purchasable in game for like 150,000 platinum because people spending platinum = people spending $$
-it will still make people want to buy new gems because now they wont feel like its so stressful starting over and running the 50% drop rate increase on new gem release is a great way to rack up dupes, so you could have a r5 hellfire, tranform it to new gem by spending $150, and then drop another $400 and rack up 12 dupes of new gems plus tons of gem power and make it r6 for half the cost of having to go with the whole gem pool
- its going to increase sales on all orb packs and crest packs for people who have stopped spending now giving them a reason to farm gem power and X/5 gems again
