A better way to level up gems

Hello,
first of all, I'd like to say that I've been part of a QA team for a while and sometimes I just see things that could be better. The way leveling up skill gems currently works is one of those things. And by that I mean the process of clicking on the [+] to level up a gem.

The current situation:


When a skill gem accumulates enough experience to level up, a button will appear on the right screen side.
The Problem: This button is quite small to click.
The proposed solution: Make clicking area larger so that even when missing the button, it will still be clicked. I find it very annoying to just miss the button and instead have my character run to the clicked location of the landscape in the background. Maybe the proposed area is a bit large, I admit, but even enlarging the clicking area of the [+] button by 100% would be very helpful.

Furthermore:
When a skill gem levels, a message is displayed in chat. In some cases, especially when a gem reaches level 20, it becomes relevant to know the level of the gem.
Proposed solution: Add the level a skill gem can be leveled up to to the chat message.


Lastly:
A keybinding for leveling up all / recently leveled gems would be nice. This saves the clicking.
Proposed solution: Add a keybinding to level up all of the skill gems which are currently displayed on the right side. Also add a keybind to level up all skill gems which are currently able to level up (including those which have been ignored before and need to be leveled from the inventory screen).

Some small steps, small UX improvements, but overall I think it would benefit the game.
Cheers and thanks for reading.

nice suggestions, though I believe quite a few have raised these suggestions already multiple times. The text message that states what is the level of the gem to level is so simple and elegant QOL solution, why is that not even in game.

I read some forums posts before that says even xbox players has an 'auto level' toggle for gems which PC players have been asking for so long. but yet all we are getting are mtx after mtx...

No. Some gems dont want to be leveled up and this huge area would be messing with this.

Do you... do you not know about right-click? Right-click dismisses the level-up dialogue, and this suggestion would actually make it easier to do that as well, making it easier than ever to not level up gems that you don't want to level up.

I agree with adding the level of the gem in the chat box but I disagree with the larger clickable area for gem level up. It just makes it even more likely to click by mistake while fighting, many of which will be right clicks that you won't notice right away and your gems won't be levelling anymore. The buttons are easy enough to click on. You don't have to be in a hurry to click them.
