I suggest that there should be a way to turn recourses into sapphires or sketches. Maybe amulets or soul stones or even both. I love this game and on it as often as i can, but i can not spend tons of money on it.  My wife would kill me if she saw me looking at a $49.99 pack. There should be a way for us to strategize a way to be as competitive without spending lots of money.  Maybe the beacons could be rewarded with saphires and DE and we can contibute to beacon for saphire packs.
