It was not stubborn, nor was it a refusal. There is no 'only one way' to play smart in this game because different circumstances require different decisions. I had a set amount of time to amass 50 flower gems to take advantage of the ticket gacha and get that 5* girl before it was replaced with the Kerria gacha, which as a F2P player I cannot (and would not) use. I made the conscious decision to do everything possible to make that 50-gem ticket gacha roll, and the first step was to not spend gems on anything that wasn't a 50-gem ticket gacha roll until I had enough gems to roll.

I wound up getting to 51 gems (event map, 2 gems) just a couple of hours before the deadline and was able to make the roll. If I'd spent ten, or even two, flower gems on slots just because ZOMG SLOTS!!!! I would've missed the chance to use the ticket gacha, and I would have missed getting my first 6* girl in that roll. Like I said, the 2* girls can be replaced with trivial effort...certainly less effort than the lvl 100 dragons I kept in their place from trying to 3-medal those maps and earn their gems. They weren't worth keeping given my circumstances at the time, and as a bonus, now I have enough dragons to evolve the 6* when she gets ready.

And yes, I used the 51st gem on character inventory space.
