It's a nice thought, but... dream on. :P Ppl have wanted gems for coins in the past, but it is always pointed out that there really isn't any way to do it without costingn BFS too much revenue. How high would you make the cost? 100 million DC for ten gems? That might sound exorbitant to some, but to many of us who have been playing for a long time, it takes just a few days to reach 100 mill. I myself, though NOT jailbroken, have approx. 1.25 billion - with a B - in DC stockpiled, just because I have all my habi's full of level 15 dragons (not to mention several Large Epic habi's, filled with level 10's). So what, then? 10 gems for 1 billion DC? Possible I suppose, but a lot of lower level players would probably get really mad.

Your "time machine" for cash idea is a new one, and I like it in principle - except for the fact that everything I just said about gems-for-DC also applies here. :( BFS has been very generous with all the ways we can get gems - far so than any other app company - and Kairos is just one of those ways (activating Kairos is basically the equivalent of saving six gems a pop - more actually, if you speed up time when you have two pairs of dragons breeding, AND two eggs incubating. That's like saving you 24 gems, assuming you who'd have sped them all up with gems).

Having said all of that, BFS has surprised us in the past; for example, there was a time when we were all saying they would never release a dragon that gave us gems -- and here we are, all trying for the ninth Gemstone dragon! So... I guess at the end of the day, we just sit back and see what the wizards bring us! :D
