Yeah I'm going to agree here, I am currently VIP4 and I don't see any real incentive to continue purchasing. Don't get me wrong I will buy gems if it suits me but the VIP Rewards was something that made me follow through on the purchase when I was merely thinking about it.

It would only benefit the developers by bringing back those rewards. I do understand that by taking it away you may have been trying to put some balance in the game but I believe there are other ways to accomplish this.
