100 gems to remove level 4 embedded gems

[Legolas Bow of Athena]

My suggestion is scrap this from the game while it's still early as with the useless sanctifications, it will become a major issue later. The gem costs to open up slots is painful, but understandable. There should however not be a gem cost to remove a level 4 gem and 100 gems is outrageous. Once many people get to this point there will be major complaints. If someone builds a level 5 gem they are going to want to put it on, but to charge that much you basically need to spend money on the game for each one you want to pull off, then repeat all for level 5's level 6's and so on. It also gets even more expensive for higher level gems.

It makes people plan ahead

To not fill up one's slots for a greater reward in the future

I agree....no idea what they were thinking when they put it in

It was put in to prevent players getting too overpowered.

I am aware of this but think about it, the impact of a lvl 5 vs lvl 4 gem is minimal. It is helpful but it's not like anyone will be supreme power from upgrading and 5's 6's and 7's aren't exactly easy to get even if you spend a lot. I don't think anyone has the coin to throw down for 6 massive diamonds. If they can afford 4,325 gems for a lvl 7 diamond then 100 won't be anything to them.

I'm looking at it from the standpoint of the mass population. If you win a level 4 diamond from boss fight or lab your going to want to use it, not only put level 3 diamonds in slots and wait a few months to build it up.

Most Over powered players will have the 100 gems to remove the level 4 to replace it with a level 5. It's the players who will occasionally get the level 4 that later on will want to remove it will be penalised

Exactly. The idea is to keep everyone playing so servers don't die out. People are not going to rebuild equipment from scratch. As I did before with the sanctifications in beta, i believe i was the first one to post that magic attack shouldn't be applied on hero that can't use it. I know the things that are going to turn mass people off the game. So again I make the suggestion to remove it early before the forums are flooded with complaints again.

Make it a staggered amount like opening slots even. 20 gems for lvl 4. 40 gems for lvl 5 and so on

To remove lvl 4 = 100 gems
To remove lvl 5 = 200 gems
To remove lvl 6 = ??? gems
Maybe some have those gems, i dont. Right now i have several lvl 4 gems i cant afford to use. IMHO lvl 4-6 jewels are "useless" since i cant afford to put them on now and remove them later.
It is a big disadvantage for those who NOT use a lot of money. Those who do, can just buy lvl 7 from the start, and wont be "prevented from getting too overpowered".
I am NOT complaining, and i have accepted that i have to keep my lvl 3 jewels until i can exchange them with lvl 7.

Why are you going to stop at level 7, there are even higher level chips
