some reasons are:
1. noble jewel has a l30 requirement, imagine if there is going to be a jewel with l40 requirement with +10 primary, it will be around 50% more powerful than a grand, and almost equal to an eye
2. imagine if there is going to be a combination jewel, for two or more jewels of this l40 requirement say with a total of +20 attribute, while the gear itself only have like 70 total attribute, a gear will have 70 total attribute + 2/3 jewels with +20 attribute each, it's like saying almost 50% of a gear is jewel...
3. what will be the point of having limited socket slot, if we can always get the best of the two worlds, and even if they make combination slightly less powerful than an addition of two or more jewels, it will only provide unnecessary complexity, it's better to release more interesting jewels like proc jewels, or dodge jewel, etc etc
of course this cases are the most extreme possibility, but it won't hurt to sometime think for the extreme case (worst/best), sts wouldn't want to make another same mistake because sts failed to calculate the most extreme case (e.g. last year eyes' critical bonus, this event's medium cakes), and it's better to do some good testing before releasing significant things. but again, if it is intended by sts to make jewels become significant and mandatory, then so be it, and sts should stick to it, and increase its availability permanently, not temporally by some events
thank you
P.S. buff stampy pls...
