Whenever new content arrives in the gem store, I always tend to buy gems with money and exchange them for gold since the exchange rate goes up.

This time, I did not do that. The reason? I can’t exchange all my gems to gold, leaving me with stupid leftover amounts. So, (despite being in dire need of gold) I have not bought any gems.

I am just one (normally quiet) person with a job and no free time to grind, but I don’t think I am alone. Could one of the reasons for the horrible (for people doing it the other way around) exchange rate be that people like me just thought NOPE.

Especially since they removed the graph so you could not see whether the price was advantageous to exchange things. Ironically the change is making me LESS inclined to spend cash for gems…
