1.0.3 Coming Changes

[Trevan]

To be honest, I think they are making gem upgrades WAY too cheap now. I found Square a little over-priced, and Perfect Square WAY over-priced, but those below were fine. At those prices, they may as well bring back the Horadric Cube and make them free! Two gems for an upgrade seems needless too; I have no shortage of gems to upgrade, just cash to upgrade them with (I have three or four dozen Square gems of every colour because I cannot afford to upgrade them).

I believe the reason for it is because the ones they are discounting are the highest that drop, and thus are absolutely atrociously dirt cheap on the ah. In fact, I'd almost argue that it's cheaper to just vendor your gem drops and buy any you need off the ah currently, assuming you use the ah.

Of course, this removes another (albeit ineffectual for most people) gold sink from the game.
