Please do not change existing alternate gems in Standard

If alternate quality gems are converted to standard quality gems in Standard, it will kill 90% of standard players builds, and has 0% impact on the league or normal economies.

Please reconsider this change.

Second this... such an asinine change that will probably cause a good portion of Standard-only players to (once again) outright quit due to the massive loss in value and character power. Absolutely idiotic..
Never forget the Alt Qual Gem deletion, the Ex > Div swap and loss of various crafting methods.

Revive Metamorph/Crucible. Refine Sentinel/Kalandra content. Bring back legacy modifiers/values.

If you're someone who blindly hates on Standard and its players, you are part of the problem.

Feels pretty corperate-math to me, Hasn't felt like they were focussed on the playerbase for some time now.

Oh they're only focused on their temp league playerbase... they couldn't give a rats ass about STD players.


GGG does NOT respect the time of it's players... at all.

Afaik gems do not store their properties on the item, gem items are merely placeholders while functionality is hardcoded into the game. So yeah, if they indeed unconditionally brick 90% of my equipped gems, and tell "go run lab 500 times, maybe you'll get them back", my account will probably go on probation forever for "needlessly negative comments". They did div/ex swap and now again: wiping standard assets for the sake of temp league.

So far clinging to hope it will not be the case...
This was such an odd thing to see in stream. Like, what are they actually thinking? They are acting like it's impossible to keep the alternative gems and then add the new gems from the new Affliction league.

This is horrible. How can they just remove the alt gems. Why?
🔷🔶🔰🌀✨Standard>Leagues✨🌀🔰🔶🔷
🔷🔶🔰🌀✨Make trade like the Grand Exchange from RuneScape✨🌀🔰🔶🔷

Let us zoom out more. Bring back 32:9, Heist Alt Quality Gems, Gear Enchanting, Prophecy, Metamorph & Crucible. Stop removing content from the game. Stop nerfing everything. Stop making the game slow

Patch notes confirm this change let us hope that GGG sees reason and does not kill Standard builds for no real benefit.

Anomalous, Divergent and Phantasmal Quality Gems have been removed from the game. Existing alternate Quality Gems now have the base Quality effect found on the respective Gem.


Couldn't have converted them to closest version of your transfigured stuff or whatever? Had to brick it all instead? Is this how the Vision works?

Esteemed Grinding Gear Games, let me express needlessly positive comment about your uncanny foresight, attention to details, consideration of different opinions, and most importantly, care for every player regardless of their humble origins!
There are build that are based on alt quality gems, why do you need this change on standard?
