can anybody explain why you need to manually upgrade gems?
Isn't it more logic if this is done automatically? I mean you'll always want to upgrade them, no?
No, people won't always want to upgrade gems. They might want to keep them at a lower level to keep the mana cost down, or so they can swap that gem to another character which might not have enough stats to use a leveled one, or because some of their stats come from items and if they level the gem then it's requirements will be higher than their base stats, meaning they couldn't use the leveled gem if they replaced those items with others which didn't give stats.
tx for your reply!! never thought about the mana cost.

Quick question:
this is taken from the indepth FAQ:
is there a point where you stop gaining the 1 point to each attribute? Because I hand't really been keeping track to much of my stats until one of my gems I could no longer level due to being short 1 strenght point. Now 6 levels later I still can not level the gem because I'm still 1 strenght point shy.

Attributes
All classes gain 1 of each attribute per level.
That information is not up to date.
One does not gain any attribute points per level (besides by spending your skillpoint on an attribute node).
But regarding the attribute's passive boni the mechanics thread's information still holds true (displayed ingame as follows):
Intelligence grants +1 Mana per 2int and +1% Energie Shield per 5int.
Strength grants +1 Life per 2str and +1% Melee Physical Damage per 5str.
Dexterity grants +2 Accuracy per 1dex and +1% Evasion per 5dex.
Thus:
