Yup, I did that a few times when I knew where multiple good tiles were. I didn't mean to rule tile purchases out when I suggested that buying tickets during Gains Week can be a good idea. I was just pointing out that with the number of tickets you get spending 700 gems, and tracking the shuffles to (usually) uncover the best tiles, that you can expect to get FAR more multiplier increases than you would by spending them on it directly.

I didn't actually use many gems on tiles during the event, but that's due to luck. In many cases, if there was more than one bonus in the tiles, one of them would be low in the shuffle and I could only narrow it down to a 1:3 chance. I don't find that compelling enough to buy a 2nd tile, I think it's better to grab the good tile that's a sure thing and then draw a new set that might give me something more favorable.
