This game would be so much better without gems

I know the game is “f2p friendly” and that the creator needs to make money somehow and all that… but damn I hate gems.

Imagine if this game just cost $30 and had no micro transactions. It would be very clearly unbalanced. Gems being the main thing you need to wait for before progressing every single time is not good balance or mechanics. It should be a mix of resources. Or a different resource every time. Waiting on gems every time is boring as hell.

Look at other games like cookie clicker or Melvor idle, no microtransactions and therefore balanced progression.

Also without microtransaction focused gameplay you can have mods. Melvor idle and cookie clicker have awesome modding communities that make the games so much more fun.

I think if gems were straight up removed from the game today it would be a better experience. A little bit of balancing after that and it might be the best idle game ever made.

Ok rant over. Sorry for complaining, I really do love this game
