Assuming it was a total glitch on the part of tynon to have the noble lady handing out gems on the 13th of february, i went around and collected them, taking a nice picture when lady was done for the evening. Thinking perhaps by chance perhaps... the glitch was in my favour somehow i took my cw tickets and bought a leader card for 8k. I then used the new gems (100 of them) to insure i'd not lose my card, if the sainting failed. it did fail (not surprised) but the card stayed. I looked up, and where i had nearly 1k gems , about 900 from the lady... i now had something like 72 gems total. I figured then... that's what you get, stupid, for thinking the server glitch was in your favour. And last night, was resigned to deal with the fact i had used nearly all my own gems for one failed sainting. So... tonight, i readied to take part in the REAL noble lady gem chase.... and i was on her as was the rest of my guild, as usual. I reached her right after a guild mate proclaimed he'd gotten the 100 gems. I should have received 90, perhaps 80 if another was faster than I was... not likely considering where i was when i learned where the lady was. instead, what i got was CREDITS. i did this about 4 times, each time getting there withing 2 minutes of the "pop" of the lady in a new place, to be rewarded only with CREDITS. not one single gem in the lot. i then talked to a couple other in our guild that also found the lady giving fake gems last night, to have them ripped from their stash as soon as they tried to use them... and they too can get nothing but credits. UNLESS they refresh after getting the stupid credits tonight on the lady. then they get gems, they have said. so i tried that... so i refreshed as they said to do, thinking i might still get at least a late bunch of ten gems for my trouble... instead the lady is simply and totally GONE. i'm putting in a ticket about this. i wondered if others have the same issue right now?

sorry such a long post. but it's again, and intricate mess tynon has created for a player, at least one... on the game.
