If SC took away our only way to get gems for free, countless players would quit, or worse, no one would use gems at all, and SC wouldn't turn a profit. Gemmers are the ones that keep this game free for all to play. If we weren't able to get gems for free, no one would get a taste for gemming, in turn, no one would realize their utility. Not to mention, it's WAAAAAAY too late to make this change. SC has way too many dedicated players, making that big of a change to the game would totally change the balance if the game.
