Gems are a great bonus for those inclined to purchase them. They will give you a great advantage in the game if you spend them wisely. To apply Gem spending to a real life senerio:
You and your friend just bought the new Iphone 6. You decide to buy a fancy case that is water resistant and scratch protectant. While you buddy just gets the phone and doesnt want any bonuses with it. You guys both have the same phone. Yours just has a few upgrades
Eventually your friends screen will probably get scratched while yours is still protected by the case you invested extra money to get. Well eventually your friend doesnt want to get any more scratches so he buys a screen protector for it that way no more damage would come to it. He decided to pay a little for it but not as much as you did when you bought your case.
So now your Both happy again, but your phone still looks nicer because it has less scratches. Your friend is jealous but he deals with it.
Later on you guys are hanging out by your friends pool when suddenly someone pushes you guys in. Both of you had your phones in your pocket. Well yours has a nice case on it so it was not harmed from the water. But your friends on the other hand got soaked through and through. He manages to dry it out and it still works but his volume button no longer works. So now he is stuck with a scratched up phone that he can't adjusted the volume on and he is upset. But your Phone is just fine because of the great investment you made in the case. Although they are the same phones, you made a great investment and you got a great benefit out of it.
This is exactly how this game works. If you make an investment you will more than likely come out on top. Its just how it works. Even when investing a great deal of strategy has to be used. Generally everyone is equal. It all depends on how you play that will determine your greatness. I was a free player for a long time. When i perfected my stategy few could defeat me. It just takes time.
I apologies for grammatical errors in this. I'm not the worlds best writer.
