This is not a bad idea...it keeps more players engaged and many higher levels can be more competitive without spending a lot.Quote:

If its is just random and they "might" get something, I'm less inclined to keep doing it with the same person, and go back to using whoever benefits me the most in whatever context I need them.
Hey, did you get a reward today? What about today? Did it work today? Please tell me it worked today... Still not yet? No? Crap, I'll try again tomorrow.
Also, considering not everyone even utilizes friends daily, or the max amount of friend uses daily, the gem rewards would often land in the slim to none category for most.
Interesting thought... people who spend money to get epics are further rewarded with even more gems because more people will hire them. I don't see a problem with it though.Quote:

Another thought on saying "thank you" by hiring someone, I don't think I would hire anyone who isn't beneficial to me. Those 10 hires per day are precious. Even if it was guaranteed every 5 days or something, I'd still be hiring the same people. Just because people don't think about the % chance doesn't mean it is worthless. Occasionally, I would get a popup message saying that I got a gem, and that makes me happy enough.
BTW, are you conveniently using different numbers for your argument? A 1% chance in the original suggestion more closely matches a guaranteed gem every 100 days in your suggestion. If I could give someone a guaranteed gem every 100 days, I don't think I'd give that a second thought either.
The point of the thought was to get higher levels to accept lower levels as friends so the lower levels could do better, like the game more, stick around longer, spend a little money that Gree uses to make the game better etc. when u are used by another high level player u should not get a gem. If u have 10 level 20 players that use you u should. I think there is merit to this...Quote:

Went rogue how?

Personal stickies are good too, but forum isn't quite active enough.

Well, because of friend stats caps at least at epic boss (not 100% about adventure) if a level 30 player added me, a level 126 player with nearly maxed Forgestone+, I would do probably the exact same damage as a level 60 friend with maxed LF+. So other than looking pretty, it's a complete waste and it would probably be way more useful for the player base for me to friend level 70-80 people than level 1-30 people...Quote:

In other words: a measure to prevent super friends from boosting a low level account too much through functioning well also makes it less attractive for high level accounts to friend low level accounts.
Adding trinkets for the high level account wont make those wasted stats magically reappear.
The best way for a lower level account to get a decent friend list seems to be to skim the leaderboard for people with friend codes in their name and friend those and also try to friend a few random people in the rank 1000-5000 range: those aren't high enough to be spammed to death with friend requests but high enough to have decent levels and armors.
This actually makes sense. I like Raichu's idea in general now I actually can see the other side...I never realized there was a cap.. Thanks for taking the time to explain this Marco...
Well free gems would really be a good plus but I think it will never happen so let's just wait for something new :)
