And you're missing the point entirely.... it's not about being easy or challenging. There's nothing challenging about spending $20 just to get access to an island that you have to clear. You shouldn't have to spend $20 in the first place if all it does is unlock that island. Nothing else. It just unlocks it. You still have to have 15 friends who play the game or spend more gems to unlock sections of that island. There's nothing challenging about that. There's no skill involved, it's about spamming facebook so you can annoy people to playing a game with you. You're giving them free advertisement, which normally I'd be fine with if I enjoy the game. But why would you expect someone to drop that much money just to unlock something you can't even use initiatlly. That makes no sense.

And if your argument is to save up gems, sure. I can get 2 every 3 days or so when I clear a league. And every 12 hours when I beat the arena. So at that rate, what, 80 days or so to unlock an island? that does nothing? Again, that's not challenging. That's grinding.
