I have 11 neighbors so far and I've not seen any gems from that for starters. I dont know which game came out first, Dragon city or dragonvale, I'm pretty sure it was the latter, but they seem to be doing fine without forcing charges to progress and the game has 9 islands now, each with more space and less grinding. So why is the business model so different? They've certainly done pretty well using a complete 100% free model that doesn't require gems.
