Just curious veteran players: How are your stashes holding up?

I didn't exploit the dust bug (mostly because I have OCD, and I wanted to keep my extra event dupes so I never tried to "Dust All"), but I did take full advantage of WoF when it was generous and easy daily tournament wins when silver boxes spat out a ton of energy. I'm hovering over 3200 gems and 60 golden boxes atm. If I had to guess, I'm probably well ahead of most players who started only a few months before WoF was first released (and didn't find the bug to exploit), but well behind the veterans who started before me and were much more aggressive about doing daily tournaments. (I'm probably a rounding error next to the guys who were lucky enough to use the bug.)

I'm mainly asking to get an idea of when, if ever, this game will ever stabilize for the new players. Just judging by watching the rankings shift in past events, it seems like a 1600 point buy (if not two) in week 3 is the minimum needed to take top 500. (Maybe buying extra draws from the Magical Apparatus is potentially more gem efficient at some tiers, I dunno.)

At this pace, I can usually take top 1500 (and be happy with my weekly rewards) while spending a few hundred rubies at the most. It will take one, if not two, big events that I really want to win before I'm competing fairly with newer players who didn't have the advantages I did.

I guess my real question is, how long do you think it will take before things aren't crazy?
