A new player just asked a question about the game, part of which was about rubies. The question started me thinking (dangerous habit, I don't recommend it) about what philosophies there are dealing with rubies. Here are a few statements to discuss and feel free to add your own:

1) If you don't spend money on the game they you don't really think about rubies. You take in so few rubies from updates and level-ups that you occasionally buy mag glasses but you get far more by collections. You are more driven by available energy (lighting bolts).

2) Rubies are nice to have for the occasional purchase of tools but you never buy without a 2x or 3x offer. You rarely have over 200 rubies and often run down to 20 or so because that's when MT makes reasonable offers.

3) The game is worth real money so you occasionally buy carts or chests of rubies to get the volume discount. Since you might have rubies by the thousand you occasionally enjoy some of the larger package purchases.
