I think most people realise that. Still every little bit counts and while you wouldn't choose the Gemstone island/dragons over the Colosseum or friend gifting as a source of gems having a possible extra 12 free gems a week on top of what you can already freely earn is nothing to sneer at, particularly since gems are the premium currency in DragonVale and in app purchases of gems is the main way that Backflip makes money from the game.
