Supposedly it was because people were trading them, never made sense to me truth be told I should imagine that people trading were buying gold to buy the gems, which meant a profit was still being made by the game itself, on the other hand lots would give away gems to help out those running short, and perhaps that's the real problem, as if someone is supplying them then that means the person receiving them isn't hunting for them and therefore not spending gold, so I would think as it is not profitable for the game, then it would have been seen as a problem, well that's my take on it anyway, I wish we could still help out when people find themselves running short, but we can't and I doubt that will be changed back again, it is relatively easy enough to amass the gems with good garden set ups, or just hunting for them in gardens with good set ups, also worth leaving set ups to run for awhile, topiary mths like Miss said above would be my preferred way to amass gems.
