I keep a few level 70 weapons with 28-30 reduced level requirements on them in case friends start playing. Beyond that, I wouldn't mind if the jewelcrafter included an option to turn Marquis gems into a special type of gem that had all the stats of a marquis gem, was tradeable, couldn't be upgraded, and sold for next to nothing to vendors. That way you could get gems to a new player without Blizzard having to worry about the market implications of tradeable RoS gems.
