I've been playing YGO DL faithfully every day since December 2018 and today, my birthday, Konami's 500 gems gave me 4 UR cards from this new box. Thanks! ^-^

Right now if we must spend as much time playing as before we don't even get same amount of gems. we must spend multiple time more hours playing to have the same.
If you still think that matters more, then I won't stop you, just remember that you're wrong (but most people don't like to accept they are wrong, so.....*shrugs*)
So you are okay with farming for a 4 gems per hour in a video game?
To buy 2 packs only you have to farm more than 24 hours.
So you are going to keep playing PvP 24h straight without taking breakfast, meal, bath, sleep everyday?
Even aliens can't live like that.
Yeah, this is the very definition of free to play. I play 24h everyday non-stop.
Even during my sleep or bath I wake up every 1 min to press on my phone to keep playing.
again, like I said above, looking at gems per hour is irrelevant because not everyone have the same play time or plays at the same interval. That's why the total is more important.
You only keep insisting it's important because you desperately wants something that looks like it validate your point. As DLM report another anon posted has shown, the total gem per month on average is still pretty much stable at somewhere between 4500-5000, and is in fact increased to up to 6k whenever there's KC Cup.
Except that's clearly wrong, if that's right, the game would already be dead a long time ago.
Why? Because the number of players are growing. (Most of them are F2P, btw). Seeing high number of players attract whales into the game. Whales don't want to pay on a soon to be dead game. High number of players, even if they're F2P, is what makes whales pay. So Konami needs players, even F2P ones.
^Konami has been shafting rewards, paywalling cards, powercreeping decks to oblivion,etc. YET F2P PLAYERS ARE STILL AROUND so f2p complains are irrelevant. Konami knows about this f2p player maso chism so they'll keep taking advantage of it. No matter how much f2p complain konami knows they can endure more and will make them endure more.
"like I said above, looking at gems per hour is irrelevant because not everyone have the same play time or plays at the same interval. That's why the total is more important."
So having a salary of $5000 is better if you MUST work 23h/d per day and 7d/w, THAN $3000 for 9h/d and 5d/w?
Must? There's no "must" here. Also with that example you keep insisting on a uniformal play time, when that's not the case. Your example can only apply if everyone have a rather uniform playing time.
I inherited my parents' fortune and don't have to waste time working to keep on living.
I have so much free time that I agree. Only total f2p gems per season matters.
I'm rich, yet am f2p and can afford to play 18h video games per day.
same man but i play till i sleepy. then i woke up i play again till sleepy. hungry just go shop eating. what a lazy life i got here. money come and go but duel links just once in my life. later we dead cant play duel links anymore^-^
You just have to convince tim cook to take you as his adopted child.
That way you will be able to play unlimited Duel Links and farm all the f2p 5gems per hour rewards without having to waste time working to buy your meals.
