Mana Jewels with purchases

Quite a lot of mana jewels being given away with each purchase, I see.

There was the $99 offer, of course, but each new exclusive card and PW seems to be coming with significant bunch of them.

It seems like the best way to acquire mythics in the game right now is to pay cash for jewels.

How many jewels can you get as a free player during the week now? 15x5=75j for the dailies, and how many roughly for the events? Probably not the 280j that those who bought Tezz2 got.

Us toxic elite players in the top 2 coalitions I think got 120j for the 3 day Breaking Point event last week? How many did you get? A lot less than that, I bet.

    Sorry, I can't distribute to your question.
    But I'd like to say on this topic that it would be nice if the offers in the shop were two-fold. One with jewels and the other without for less cash.

    If they really meant the new system to be so that mythics and masterpieces are hard to get they would not have lumped jewels with exclusive offers like that. It is still very hard to get an elite pack.... unless you whip out some cash and buy one of their exclusive card or pw offers, which are even more expensive now than ever before. Its just purely ptw from now on. Those with credit cards get to play with all the cool toys.

    If they really want to give everyone an equal ground of working up towards buying those elite packs they would remove the jewels from those offers. In fact they should remove all that extra weight from exclusive card offers. I'd like to see how much a card would cost when it doesnt have the runes, pack of dupes, a pitiful amount of crystals attached with it trying to justify its high cost.

    The thing is, I'd be all for (balanced) masterpieces being cool toys offered to paying players, and dribbled out to the free players on an occasional basis. But making a brand new set of ultra rare cards, but at the same time bumping up mythic rarity to that same level of scarcity seems a bit mean.

    Part of post asked about how many iso8.png people are getting. I am silver ranked in all colors, have a resounding 3 mythics at this point, have been playing about a month and half, and have only purchased the $5 starter pack. While being active (and playing in a total of 2 Trials, neither getting the final prize), I have earned 75 jewels since their introduction. My coalition has generally been getting in the 251-500 range (I am looking for a new one).
