Watching videos down to 5 Gems?
Just making it harder for the F2P players. Frustrating!

I was about to blast you but I'm trying to be better than that. People make mistakes.
Do do me a favor though and look at my original post and the original posts of others on the same subject and get back to me.
That said, I don't blame people for making multiple posts on this. My standpoint is this. As an ultimate league player, I have already accumulated most of the cards and now just have a few legendaries to get and multiples of and a couple other cards here or there so I'm set. My girl however after making fun of me for playing originally has now herself picked up the game and is a 28. Those of us that have been around know that's when the game starts to get tough. I saw Jokers post on the other thread and while I agree getting something for nothing is great, taking things away from players that you were freely giving before is poor form in my humble opinion. It can sour people's opinion of your product and drive people away. Like many posting here at my level this change does little to me but my girl on the other hand is going to have a much more difficult time accumulating cards than I did.
The other thing that that frustrates me a little is the "giving you something for free" response. EA gets money for you watching adds. I'm spending time watching them, even downloaded a game or two from them. EA is still making money. I'm sure this little expirement of there's will show them if people are now spending money or watching ads more or less than before and will go from there. The thing is it rings hollow to me. You should absolutely make money from your games. I haven't spendt a ton, $20 which is more than I've spent on an iPad game maybe ever, but I have watched a ton of adds which generate income form them as well. No one likes to be nickel and dimed.
@904e8d29c3cd2aa2 Thanks for not blasting me. 🙂 This change affects me greatly too. I'm a casual player and I've plateaued as as low 40s and won't climb much higher without getting more cards via the gems. Like any perk in life, people don't want them taken away from them.
