Okay, I didn't mind when my prime was nerfed. I didn't mind when stab was fixed. But i am absolutely and thoroughly pissed off with this gem nerf. We used to get about 1225 monthly gems and now I saw that it has been reduced to some 485.
Thank you IGG, you have ruined a lot of entertainment value for f2p players like me. Get a new marketing team.

Dunno how the Taiwanese side of things works, but I guess whatever they do, IGG will do the opposite. Are they being generous? Let's take away more from the f2p. Heist gives 2 hard to get 5* for free for the hardworkers? Nerf this s*** !

This is saddening, it truly is. I cannot leave the game because of my commitment to my guild. I will keep playing the game. I know star membership has become even more important now but I am giving that subscription up for good. This has totally ruined my experience of the game. I wish I could take my money back, all of the 3 star subscriptions. My personal review of this game has changed, I wouldn't recommend this to family and friends. I always neglected clash of clans. I will get more entertainment value from there.

Really sad to see this happen as well...1200 gems were really helpful for the F2Ps like myself. Opening 2 boosters/2 ultimas per MONTH using those gems were really the only way F2Ps could get their hands on any premium items, maybe they saw that few people got lucky with boosters etc as well so then next move is to nerf the free gems they get, Awesome! Maybe next thing would be to nerf the gems you get from STAR membership from 100 to 50. Better give up STAR Membership as well.

I don't think they will nerf Star membership gems. I think they are forcing people to subscribe to Star membership.
I think IGG noticed that f2p players were getting too close to getting Oceanus from mines so they nerfed the gems itself. This affects everything. F2P now can only draw one Ultima in two months, one booster in two months. Good luck with melding 5 star cards without enough gems.
All of a sudden I don't feel the urge to stay competitive, the value of the game is now lost. I played tournament to get 5 star heroes, now I have two of them, I think I can rest now lol. I wanted to get Oceanus but IGG can keep their Oceanus.
I will keep contributing to my guild and the game but I will not contribute anything to IGG from now on, not one cent.

Seriously donuts. What next? IGG seems to come up with a new way to screw f2p on a weekly basis. I can imagine a day when they remove 5* crits from the coupon altar altogether. The drop rate is low enough already, why wouldn't they just make them completely unobtainable without big spending. Now it's buy STAR or get so few gems it's almost pointless.

But you can now supplement your daily login rewards with free gems from their advertising referral program! Sign up for medicare, life insurance, blah blah blah and get free gems! You now have to help them earn advertising revenue to get the same gems.

While I do agree that this is a huge blow to the casual F2P, to the point of maybe giving up the game, and I also think it's a pretty bad move from IGG, it's not as big for the active player. Disregarding the monthly gem "allowance", you can gather about 2900 gems from daily login, tournament mall, guild wars, sky arena, server fixes, and mail subscription. So for the active F2P, it decreased from about 4000 gems to 3300.
Still significant though...

Actually they did this for the people who were entering the game only for the daily login and some other stuff.

Yu-Gi-oh was very fun during the scapegoat meta, since that it went down the Hill. Besides that IGG are fuckers, unless they make Great Mystic farmable.

I stopped buying star myself, sure it might not be much, but I've been buying ever since I started, have about 16k gems saved, which I'm using on the mines, but it's not worth being a small spender of f2p in this game, greedy bunch of morons, they'll kill the game sooner rather than later.

I also stopped my Star membership, I'm under no false standing that I wont renew it though if things do change for the better.
For me its actually less this big nerf to gems and more the dwindling rate of new content and cards. There are still plenty of strategies that don't have a proper counter, and a lot of times when they add a new counter in (like Columbus) only 3 players get it world wide...
I will say it was quite a disappointment, though, to see these new rewards. I think sending IGG a message both through their marketing team (facebook, etc) and with your wallets (boycotting any cash spending) is a good idea for now. While Star was always helpful, I never felt like I was considered a contributing member of the game - IGG doesn't want your puny subscription they want thousand-dollar-spenders. It's a shame because if Star was better I think a lot more people would be paying for it and they could get a reliable stream of cash this way instead of a cash-grab trying to exploit their target demographic of problem-spenders/gamblers.

Seems like a sign that they hit the half way point. Expand for a year to establish a player base then make some spending mandatory to cash in gradually even if players start leaving.

For what it's worth I like the new content, think they've done a pretty decent job of balancing so everything has a counter, and mystic is semi farmable in mines.

5000 glory points and 5 coupons as reward are not good enough considering the drop rate of 5 star runes and 5 star creatures using them. Guess we need to wait a month to see if this reward will continue next month as well. Not to mention they nerfed the 2x login rewards as well. August had the best 2x login rewards till date. Now its all meh.

Im sure there a few of you guys or girls that play via [c, ive seen the old "auto bots" spamming WC, who never get blocked - so how about you create a spambot to inform all players in WC that f2p are getting reduced gems this month - and to avoid buying star or gems.
Im going on the presumption that IGG don't normally monitor the WC anyway - far too much effort for them but at least word could spread.
Im a little dissapointed in it - and i remember reading before - when they were talking of introducing previous content - cannot remember the exact player, or quote but it was " Its IGG - What ever you think is the worst possible banana move they can do this update - you are wrong, It will almost certainly be worse".
I do believe its because as mentioned, the free gems were being used in mines only so now they have seen a money maker, they want to rinse the tits off of it. Oh and wish you a hearty I hate you, while your playing. #BecauseTHEYcare

Yeah i feel betrayed by IGG, they introduce very cool features accessible to the F2P(heist/mines/grimoire/upcoming cube system thingy) and now they punish us for having that access by reducing our monthly gem rewards. BIG mistake from them, this will result in a lot of players leaving.
They basically thought: the f2p sure are active with these features, let's force them to buy star to keep using them!
no, just no.

On Naruto's preview video, looks like there may be some kind of gem "investment" system. If they put that in, it may replace what was taken away in the monthly login.
