Gree care about the little guys? Nope, they forced most of us low gem buyers to decide long ago, if buying gems for events between wars was worth it, as our purchases(amounts/size) would not help us compleat said event.(one of the reasons they have fallen to a app that jumps on and off the top grossing apps lists, and are only there in war time, it's the only time some of us spend now)
They won't do this but, if they made events that could be compleated with a smaller purchase of gems, say 15-25$ they would have more people who would start to buy again but their current marketing plan has been aimed at the big spenders and trying to get us to buy larger amounts. Which has had minor success but only on a intermittent basis
