Just so we have an option buy them outright, they stay rare, and ZOS is guaranteed to make plenty of cash off the amount of crates it'd take someone to farm that many gems in the first place. Every time I look at them, I think, "Man. My impulse-purchase senses are tingling, but I don't quite want it badly enough to farm for it. Maybe if they were purple... Aah, but that senche is doofy-looking, and I don't want to end up stuck with that one. Bummer for them, I guess. Looks like my money is safe for a while."
That's it, really; nothing much else to say on it. Only felt like griping. Again. Fruitlessly, I know, I know.
"I haven't really played much yet, but lemme tell you all about how the game should include X and be a lot more like Y!" - Half the posters on this forum.
"I've been here for years, and lemme tell you all about how they should never change or evolve Z, because then the game would be ruined forever." - The other half of posters on this forum.
