Now that there's been more feedback, and on considering the gold earnings poll, I switched my vote to #3, because it's closest, but I'm not entirely in favor.


 * 1) no earner options
 * 2) poor option for low-gold-collectors
 * 3) combined plan poor option for high earners (see below)

My proposal: (4.) 3rd plan is a higher gold conversion cap


 * Plan: flat fee,  $5 = 20 (they'd lose money on plan 2)
 * moderate & high earners (more users): convert gold to gems
 * $5 = max 25 gems
 * $10 = max 60 gems

Why?

If you want more gems but don't want to earn them, subscribe to a $5 plan for the perks, and just buy any extra gems once you've passed the cap.

If you only want to earn gems, if you bring in a lot of gold, you run out of gems.
