I'm asking because I started out playing on two devices, on my ipad gems just flew off and I didn't even notice. I would raise gem to 60's and suddenly back down to 20. I'll collect ingredients and it's ready to collect again immediately -- I had to double check to deduce i must have lost gems collecting ingredients, there wasn't any notification of gem flying off graphics, I never even caught myself clicking in the act. I quit my RS2 on that device.
On my phone I have never had that problem, since I started the game on both devices at the same time I really noticed the difference. In my iphone game app, when I finish collecting all the available ingredients, the collection area becomes greyed out and there is a short pause before the 'speed with gem' purple bar appear. That way even though I kept tapping through momentum the greyout/ pause prevented me from spending gem. I really had to deliberately pause and wait and then tap again to be able to spend gem.
Social experiment @ TL?
I wonder if they are doing some experiment to compare user response to gem trap and see how fast they lose players depending on how aggressively they gem-trap you ......
