Gems r becomin rare after the patch?

I noticed that after the patch i found less gems than ever. Yesterday i thought i was bad luck, but today a friend of mine told me that he found a few!
And both of us mine almost 24/7 with 9 miners.


It is just bad luck or something was changed after the patch????

Hard to tell now, wait a week or so and then come back and ask.
But I wouldn't be suprised if they actually decreased the gem "finding" rate

less gems = less money 4 us = more db purchases...well tq would hope so lol, it's more than likely they decreased rate, they alredy did for dbs

i dont know fellows i mined a ref draggy last night so who knows

I dont kno my gem finding is about the same. But i have found a a technique that ensure i will get at least normal gems tho i dont really wanna share it with too many pple cause of all the noobs will soon be flooding market even worse since cobo hit the market.




Edit: Im not in the mood to bump so here is my responce to the next post.

Gems r not rarer. They patched so that if yur miner don't move your chance is reduced. They did this to prevent the afk/auto ore droppers from getting gems. If you want more gems, just move after you mined around 90 ores. Ive got many gems this way.
My miner barely moves around and i already have 3 normals, just depends on your luck and techique.

Most likely they cought onto the whole miner program + hex edit making it so that 3+ accounts can be opend.. They also must have noticed how many gems people had in their shops etc.

from what i learned, mine with 6+ minners, (try to seperate them), keep them in check in case of pk, mine for a few hours and get your self super gems ^^, well maybe not all the time, but i still get gems whether its normal, refined, or super. Try PC mine, its the best.

i got a load of normal gems..atleast 30-40 and a super nix and some refined gems and norm furies through 2 weeks of mining with tobo on 6 diff miners. so no shit they caught on.. lol

i donno i mine with cotobo with 5 miners and i get like a gem every 30 min even less so no i dont notice a diffrence

I've shut down my mining operation about a week ago, 12 miners w/ COtobo.

Started again 2 days ago, Today I cashed in @ 53 gems, 4 ref dragon, 6 ref nix, 2 ref rain and a Super Kylin *sigh*.

I've gotten more than I used to get. So I highly doubt that they changed anything.

As far as making it to where afk/auto miners get less gems standing in one spot. My miners werent moved at all. Yet still I got a crapload of gems.

I will probably add a "move my miner" option to the reconnector at some point - if ya use it - you could check ur theories... *i know my 10 miners will*

dun think nethings changed, used to mine wit 4-6 miners but now changed to jus 1 n im gettin more from him alone than if i used 4 miners combined. started a few days ago, din move him, same spot: yesterday i took out 19 gems, 3 rdg, 2 rrg, 2rky, 2rnx, n loads of norm rain
