ok, lets look at it. Player A gives out 3 gems a day and makes a new friend every now and then. The new friends all have the gem tree and give to that player first. Player A, of course, wants to reciprocate but his list is getting longer and longer while he's collecting new friends who give to him. If he had 6 gems to give out that list might still grow, but at a slower rate. It just shows that you do your best to give back, that's all. And rest assured, I return all gems whether the person has a tree or not. It just feels better when they do ( again, provided they have the gems to buy it). I just wonder how you would feel if I didn't have the tree and collected, say, 4 times the gems per day that I give out. I can certainly afford the tree. That's the kind of player and situation I'm talking about
Of course, when a player is just starting out in DV or is just starting to get friends that is a whole different story. When I see that this is the case I sometimes squeeze a player in my list and give first, just because I think that's a nice thing to do. I hope nobody minds that
