I don't understand all this rage? anyone in game can buy these just as easily as they could buy gem shards.. it's slightly confusing for new players and has little to no impact for anyone else... :?

All you non cash shop players should be happy Gpots has a way to keep us cash shoppers paying real $$. Without the 15% of players that cash shop there is no reason to put a quality product out, or in fact to keep the servers up at all. Companies make quality games to make $$. No profit = no game.

If you think that only 15% of players use the cash shop, you are horribly wrong.

This. Not to mention how happy I am that gpot has a model that makes this game enjoyable for me for free, unlike most others.

I must be missing something here... if premium shards are 1:1 with gpots and i can convert gpots or regular shards to get premium crystals then there's no point in having them to start with.

if one cannot convert regular shards into premium shards and the only way to aquire premium shards is by buying gpots and then converting them then that makes more sense, but also is annoying.

There is an item that costs 100 gPotatoes. It has 10 charges. Each charge gives between 10-15 gPotatoes, and also a chance to give 10000 gPotatoes.

Win 10000 gPotatoes, purchase another 100 boxes, repeat.

Instant millionaire.

not use the cash shop, actually cash shopping your character. spending $20 a year isn't considered cash shopping imo. Spending 1k usd a month is the 15% cash shoppers I'm speaking of.

Yadde-yadde... If everyone paid $10 a month for this game, gPotato would be above water. The high spenders extend the profit margin, they don't protect it from failure.

So, I'm a little confused by the notes for premium crystals vs. the pouches of premium crystals. They seem to both do the same thing, but the pouches can only be bought with premium crystals. Why would I want to spend 10 premium crystals on a pouch of 10 premium crystals? Is it that maybe a vendor will want them at some point and so you'd need them in your bag?
