Ok, thanks for the timely response- appreciate it. Hoping I was missing something, because what I see and what you're describing sounds like about a 1 gem per day average at best, and I'm not willing to invest almost 2 months of time before another chance to upgrade my squad comes around.

Guess it's time to hang it up. Too bad, like I said I was enjoying the game but my squad needs better girls to continue and I feel like I earned an upgrade that didn't happen. If anyone has any recommendations for a good replacement game, Nutaku or otherwise, I'm all ears.
