Yes I have to agree. There is now no incentive to buying gems as the only bonuses you get now with a VIP upgrade are things you have to spend gems to use for the most part. It hardly seems to make sense that you cut out the reason some of us even increased our VIP level in the first place. The non-paying players have already been alienated due to the lack of any real way to attain gems now with the arena changes, and now it seems the paying players are going to become just as alienated due to no real incentive to buy more gems unless they need coins or creds or the long-shot card in the fair.
