Just curious as to what you think of players having a red gem in their helms?

I have used one while leveling my characters to level 60 (paragon 0) which I think is sensible.

But lately I've noticed many players in pub games MP8 to 10 clearly undergeared with red gems in their helms, predictably they die a lot, sure the experience must be great but all that dying cant be much fun of an experience.

I have seen paragon 100 players in MP10 who would be best suited to MP5, I suspect this is the end result of having a red gem in your helm too long, too much " bonus experience" not enough real experience.

Doesn't bother me apart from slowing down to revive, but it really cant be much fun for them.

This is a great topic, and something I've recently been thinking about too. I'm guilty of habitually using red gems for my helmet, but recently my buddies have been trying to get me into MP10 games where I'm dying more frequently than I'd like. I know I should swap to an amethyst, but I'm reluctant to give up that XP boost.

I think I'm just going to buy another version of my set helm for low MP farming, and put a ruby in that. Anyone else buy two helms as a solution?
