No James, I bought a gem pack about a week into my RoD play. Paid $2.99 I believe, spent the gems and the best card I got was Mage Queen. At that time it wasn't a bad card (was worth about 10/10 as base MR were really hard to find and there was no such thing as a base UR back then). But in any case, I wasn't thrilled with that and have never spent another dime on the game. So your guess is incorrect, although I can imagine some paying players might not like the thought that a free player comes away with two LR that weren't that hard to achieve.

Sparckle - I see your point... and I will say again that it's simply a non-zero advantage over time as there are items that can be transferred from one account to another. Back when MR keys actually meant something, every MR key giveaway would have been 2X as you could transfer whatever card you got. Today that's pretty much meaningless but it's still non-zero.
