ToS isn’t even going to last a few years at this rate so IMC might as well srop worrying about the fake longevity granted by destroyed monster gems and change them to not be destroyed on extraction. At thhis point, keeping more players around short term is more important than vague long term economics that don’t even matter much like untradeable monster gems which become obsolete as new skills come out
why isn’t this implemented yet? It’s already hard to farm gem. Why not just make the Gear untradeable once socketed to fight against bots. Once the gem is removed from the same user, the item is tradeable like how Transcend items work.
The amount of punishment you get for trying to partake in ToS’ various systems when you don’t yet have your end game equipment is ridiculous. Lose a level upon unequipping a monster card, lose a level upon gem extraction, the high silver costs for upgrading weapons that all gets lost once you move on to a new weapon, losing a monster gem once it’s time to move on to a new piece of gear, etc etc.
It really makes a lot of the levelling process unfun and sucky because the vast majority of the systems in the game are simply wasted if you try to partake in them before reaching the end due to all the punishments.

IMC don’t realize how hard this monster gems to get and how saddening/disappointing that you can’t transfer it to new equips once you have use it already on your old equips. Soon new equips will come again in R9 probably and IMC just want to punish players by hunting it again.

I support this, monster gems are hard enough to get in a game wich hasnt even fully developed and we are expecting to get at least 300more levels, does this mean we should put our monster gems in our storage and wait untill you guys finally release the last level cap? some gems can be used with switching gear, but most of them have to be on the main gear to be used propetly, so if they dont get destroyed upon removal monster gems would be used more often 
at the moment this mechanic its totally obsolete to the point that most of the players dont even care about it, im sure if you guys make this small change, more people would start to use them.

Supported, I would still keep an eye close if normal Gems drop 1 level upon extracted.
But for monster gem, it should be somehow extractable without penalty. Be it using 5TP like extract monster card, or new item like Glowing Awakening Stone given through event, or just something purchase-able from TP Mall.
Some monster gems reside with very low spawn/population are almost impossible to hunt. It gets better with DPK not reset, but those also require 30-50h to hunt for a single gem which is very exhaustive and dry.
To additional to that, I also suggest we can combine 2 gems to +2 for that particular skill, and more R7/R8 skills gem should also implement.

maybe higher lv monsters can drop 2 star versions of the monster gems 
Friendly reminder that monster gems were extractable during CBT :>

There are alot of restructions like this that need to be removed: for example the card and gems losing level when being taken out of stuff, this needs to go. I know you can spend 5 tp to take a card out and retain its level but really, Why do we get punished for wanting to use stuff like monster gems, I’ll never understand it in tos. Its bad enough new accounts can’t trade for a week, which is probally why we never get any new players, they start game, go to buy some new gear off market and WHOOPS sorry your too new wait 7 days before you can actually buy gear for your char.
Yes, yes we have the new player event, btu after thats over we’ll pratcally not see any new players due to the heavy restrictions.

Meh, second a private server shows up, even one at normal exp rates, i’ll prob drop the offical server like a used condom and go to the private server, since it’ll more than likely be ran a hell of alot better than the offical server is. Probally less bugs and more events, and less restrctions too.

Too much restrictions ruins any game experience. They had some restrictions in past that today are extinct. But still there are dinosaurs that need to die.

At the moment the only reason to use a monster gem its to level up your regular gems wich is a letdown if you consider that there is already and item to do that, that reason alone says enough about the current monster gem system. By all means we need to be able to remove monster gems from our equipment without destorying them i think IMC its overlooking things, they could easly implement a quest to remove monster gems, that would keep players bussy playing the game and if the quest its a “get me this items” kind of thing, that would help the market too. Well, we can only dream.
