Is there any possibility of them being able to make it so that you can also upgrade the gem right from the armor screen. Say I get 4 lvl 4 rubies and have a level 4 ruby on my mages staff. I then have to pay another 100 gems just to get that 5th one off to upgrade after I already put in the coin to make that gem in the first place. If not, it sucks, but I'll understand, it's just a suggestion.
