They put a cap on gems lower than what the Pc version has. That has nothing to do with the games hardware limitations at all. They fixed NG and they gave the PC version the same arcade style in combat bonuses that the console versions have (kill streak, destruction and trap bonuses). So yes, they were bringing both versions closer together as far as in game mechanics go.
Hell, they even gave us the same amount of zombie dogs as PC version has.
It's a limit of the game due to the limits of the old technology in the X1/PS4.
It's one of two things, a troll or an idiot
It doesn't change that from being a fact, though.
Except it isn't a fact at all. As I stated already, you could level gems up past 100 last season also which means the system could and can "handle it". The only fact so far is that PC players can level their gems past 100 and console players can't. With the amazing changes that came with this patch to bring both PC and console closer together, this one really makes me forget about it all and nearly brings us back to where we started.
I don't understand why console has to have a lower cap than PC does if that is the case. PC clearly has people leveling certain gems beyond 100 like Trapped and Stricken.
It was said in the patch notes that Legendary gems would get hard capped at 150 but no mention of a 100 cap for consoles only which makes it a bug, plain and simple.
I have made a few posts regarding this bug on the official forums with no luck and next to zero visibility. It is a serious issue for the small player base that actually pushes the games limits on both Xbox1 and PS4. While I understand that some legendary gems don't level past 50 and some don't level past 100, there are some that go beyond 100 and reach the hardcap of 150. Bane of the Trapped and Bane of the Stricken are the two biggest dps increases and are hindering us on a massive scale.

Next to no views on the bug report forums and only a few people even posting in the console forums. I am afraid this issue won't get resolved unless there is more visibility which is why I am posting here. I come to this site at least once a day when I play D3 and I am sure others come here at least half that much when they play.
What can I do beyond the posts I have already made on the official forums and the post I have made here? The people I have been playing with on console (Xbox1) are starting to log in less and less now because at this point they have one less thing to grind for. I really enjoyed this game prior to this issue and now it seems like grinding paragon levels is a chore instead of being some enjoyment when I get home from work.
I appreciate anyone that reads and or responds to this thread. It will go a long way at putting my mind at ease to know that at least some others care.

Except for the fact that you could raise gems past lvl 100 prior to this last major update which makes your statement invalid.
