I didn’t mind the jewels once I got used to them. I’ve made 30K+ (about twice what I would make on the gold piles) just from jewels in one TI. Implying the players weren't being rewarded (fish steaks) only applies to the people who don't want to stand around to let scavenger pick the jewels up. Those same players let scavenger pick up gold piles, so the only "real" difference was having to hit a couple gem shops afterward to convert them into gold. The bit of extra work was slightly annoying, but manageable. I just removed the low quality gems from scavenger and picked up the good ones. It was fine.
The TI’s were getting understaffed by players and needed a change. Now that we are back to gold piles, I’m sure we’ll still see people gating in alts again at the end. I don’t care though. As long as people show up, I’m fine. I don’t have anything to spend gold on anyway now that most of my characters are done training magery.
I honestly love the chaos. About the only time I ever get close to death is during the TI’s. Give everyone a plat per kill for all I care.
The only thing that scares me with the “Most damage” gets the prize is on the final Boss Mob. I can see someone pulling in 60 dragons at the end to get the rare drop if there is one. As long as the “most damage” gets the boss platinum (and only the platinum) and the rare is still luck of the draw, it should be fine.
