Unlike some of you, my problem with Gems comes from the Noble Lady glitch. I had a bout 402 - 412 gems and I talked to her back when she was at 8pm, she said come back in 5 mins. the game froze, I reloaded and poof all my gems were gone. I didn't want to use my gems until I fully understood the mechanics of gameplay just to have them dissappear from me. I don't want to complain too much because they were free from the 7-day trial but it would be nice to have those back now since i plan on continuing to play.
