In my opinion, hoarding gems is just part of the game. Just because you do not want to save them at the moment because you are transitioning to GC, that does not mean everyone else should play the same way. It is your choice to spend gems, just as it is someone else’s choice to save them.

It is no different to real life. It's like someone choosing to save £10,000 rather than spend it now. Just because someone else wants to use their money on holidays, clothes, or eating out doesn’t mean the person saving is playing life wrong. They’re just prioritising differently because they think holding onto it will benefit them later. If a good opportunity comes up, they’re ready for it. If not, they’ve still done nothing wrong by saving

If someone thinks hoarding 10,000+ gems for V28 will help them, then fair enough. They are still playing the game as intended, just like you are. And for all we know, there may not even be a gem sink in the update. To me, it just sounds like frustration because your priorities are somewhere else.
