Gems should level up with you

I dont understand why we have to use uncut gems to level up skills we already have. They should just level up as you level up like Poe1 and then you can use the uncut ones to try new skills.

It makes no sense having this arbitrary complexity in the game. Having to decide which skills to level/purchase doesn't add anything to the game

They did not want the game to be path of exile 1. Its not a bad system but yea, being able to queue level ups for gems would be pretty nice.

that would be terrible

The gem system is one of the great thing POE2 has.

Do not touch it.

You would virtually have to redesign the games entire itemization system around this.

I'm not entirely satisfied with the gem leveling system, either, but PoE1's system had more downsides.

In my opinion it would be better to have all gem types available from vendors like in PoE 1, but leveling them up should be done with some type of currency, similar to the gemcutters prisms. That way you could at least save up for leveling to 19/20 instead of being dependent on lucky drops and farming T16s.
