Ah. That makes sense. Stinks cause it raised my expectation of what I would get. I just was doing lots of tapping and accidentally wasted 14 gems skipping things in two days, so I was a little neurotic to earn them back. It made the slow pace of recovery that much more noticable. The parasprites are particularly annoying, since I decided that using magic shards to clear out parasprites was worth it if I got even a couple gems in return. To get almost nothing (and let's be honest, once you've maxed out at 60, earning bits is basically nothing) was incredibly frustrating. After playing for over a month, I finally resorted to the timeskip cheat. :/
