If you really care about the new players, then go ahead and buy zillions for 30K each, and sell them a few months later for 30K each, you don't lose a single penny, and help everyone you care about? Simple?
If the gems will rise to 100K each, then you make 70K profit from each gem, so there's no problem with that either. If new players can't afford 100K for an Awakening gem, then they don't buy it, but farm it instead.
I bet half of the merchants don't even know you can actually farm Awakening Gems, so technically you're not forced to pay for them.
