delete all paragems == bring it back for all (farmable). Thats similar. So why remove what we already have?
Um what...?
A single item can NOT, no way, no how, be the BEST of its type for a whole YEAR. It defeats the very ideal of itemization.
Put yourself in a new player's shoes. You join a new game, work hard to reach the level cap, get gear...and realize you can't get the best item in the game which players a year ago hoarded.
The inherent problem with waiting for an item to phase itself out is that it potentially never will as their will always be someone who has it who's waiting for a bit longer to use it. Practically, this may take a year or more to happen - and in the ever-changing world of mobile gaming, where the market is VERY competitive, it is hardly a viable option.
The only way to really fix this without harming the current users, as far as I can see, is making it a permanent fixture in the game. Make a new map with Paracelsus, beast form, inside; it should be long and hard (and elite). The boss has a very low chance to drop the gem.
I would love it if it were set in rooms with gates like the Hauntlet, with waves of hard elite mobs spawning. To unlock each gate, you need a member of each class, to encourage class equanimity.
Obviously the best course would be for sts to not have introduced it in the first place; bad decision.
I agree with a lot of what you said but this is the way it is. If they didn't change to the jewel system I'd say there is a chance but now they are sticking with it and no gems will return.
We have no choice but to wait for them to phase out. Eventually the only para gear that will be useful for endgame will be a para leprechaun. May take a season or two but less and less people will have them on end game gear.
Edit: I'd love if paras did return as i would farm them to death but chances are we will never get new ones.

remove limited para gem and give a buff in chaos jewel? which will make chaos jewel the new para. hmm very interesting idea.

The problem that we have with para is that it can't be outdated because of the current jewel system.
If sts would buff jewels to be on the level of para this would no longer be a problem. Other items such as mythic weapons are now being outdated. para is still at the top of the top because the current progression for upgrading gear is inferior so instead of having a "power creep" sts basically nerfed any new gear Upgrades. As for para being hard work and should always be the best why is it different from other gear? Other gear will eventually be outdated so why shouln't para?
I realize that making things more powerful will upset the balance of the game but currently it is already unbalanced so why not take this chance to fix it?
Or just nerf the hell out of them until they are on pair/SLIGHTLY better than the new jewels
Sts should release special statbonus on slots for equipping jewels/gems that were released on the latest expansion and if you want to use jewels/gems from previous expansion, no bonus will be applied or so.
i agree with the idea of buff chaos jewels! will be good but remove the ppls hard work no hell no! its lk remove all heraldics cause i dont hv 1 and ppl selling them expensive!
Again, you're dealing with vanities (heraldics are basically used as vanities nowadays). Paras give their owners a huge gameplay advantage over those that don't have them. In no way should 2 weeks of "hard work" still give a player such an unfair advantage over those who weren't around over a year ago. StS I'm sure realizes the magnitude of these gems and regret releasing them this powerful. They were a mistake.
It's totally fair if STS buffs the chaos jewels and replaces the existing paras with them. If players want to spend their paras, let them do it, but make sure they do it before they hold more advantage over more players. It'll help to rebalance the gem disaster and allow an opportunity for new players to attain top-level stats.
and besides, the idea wasnt to just remove paras from their inventory. Give them a certain amount of time to use them and then remove them from inventories. Their hard work isnt wasted, they still benefit from the gems whether it be by making their current items stronger, selling them, or putting it on an item to boost its value and then selling the item. Except they would be forced to benefit from the gems now rather than saving them for later seasons
