    Man I love stupid people, and you sir are one of them.

    Try this to combat the so called fraud.

    Go to the gas station. Get gas and record the price. Say $3.58 a gal.
    Go back the next week when it goes up to say $4.00 a gallon.
    Next go call the cops and tell them that you've been a fraud victim because they raised the price.
    Wait for the cop to pick himself off the floor from laughing so hard.

    The moral of the story is that they can charge whatever they want. The can change the pricing any time they want.

    YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANYTHING. The faster you figure out that concept the easier time your gonna have in life.


    ..You do realize gas stations get no say in the priuce of gasoline and barely make any profit off it at all, right?

    Thats decided by Oil investors and the price of a barrel of crude. All a local gas station does is sell it at a couple cent profit in the hope you come in the store and buy the stuff they actually make profit on.

    Soo, UGC changed their card values from 20$ cards to 25$ cards because they decided to change to 25$s, but thats PWEs fault?
    UGC and TWE/Crypt did some deal thingy to promote UGC and get a discount for us...
    so whats horrid again? UGC doing promotion on a switch of product, with a company all of you seem to hate?

    I think their point is more the timing of the switch is awfully convenient.

    LoL, I am glad someone else was thinking this... UGC is a stand alone entity.... yes they need cooperation from the game publishers to accept their cards, but they also are able to demand cooperation because of the business they do globally... no way PWE got UGC to change their denominations to coincide with this promo... it is merely a coincidence.... and the OP needs to take a dam chill.... you spend $20 and get 2000zen and another 300zen(15%) bonus OR you spend $25 and get 2500zen and another 375zen(15%) bonus.... either way you are getting the advertised 15% bonus..... chillax man, As for the petty age comments... I am 37yrs old and a single father that works everyday to pay my bills, I may not be as old as you claim to think you are but I have been around the block a few times now, your argument is what now?

    I'd say I question how you got to age 37 and still think getting a 15% bonus on a currency that usually takes about 50 dollars worth of to buy anything would be useful. But then, thats probably why you work every day due to similar financial stupidity

    If it takes, as you seem to be claiming, at approximately $50 worth of zen to buy anything (really ?) then the change to $25 cards is beneficial to players. With $20 cards they would have to buy 3, for a total of $60 to be able to get anything. This would leave them with $10 worth of unusable zen left over from their $50 purchase. This would mean that the player would be paying $60 for $50 worth of goods.

    With the change in denomination to $25 the player can now spend $50 to buy two cards which combine to allow him to make that $50 (worth of zen) purchase.


    Oh, and for what it is worth, a 115% yield on an investment is quite significant and not at all, "financial stupidity."
