Yes its too much, I know some players who quit playing because they just cant afford the gems to swap lvl 4 jewels and the gems to unlock slots on the gear it is too high as well , cost 80 gems for lightbringer slots so 80 times 6 times 5.... 2400 gems just for one lvl of gear....most game players only send maybe 50 bucks a month on a game and Tynon wants you to spend $240 appox just for one part of the game...ya some can afford it but most cant...your driving away more players as they lvl up just because you dont want some to be too over powered...not that it matters because you dont have the game content finished anyway ...ie: 2 billion power boss in heroics.... a whole guild couldnt kill it lol.
