Checking the newest packs in botique atm at 88 gold per 100 packs .

checking pwdatabase.com for info about items u get inside those packs .

u find that u get inside 200,000 packs at cost ( 2000x88 gold = 176000$ ).
items worth around 293-294 bil coins which is around 140,000$ at current pack items price , lets say +-5% to be more accurate .

thats like losing 18% of ur coins ATLEAST everytime u open those packs "ON NORMAL RATES " .


That goes to ALL packs in game too . b:bye
Up for any challenge .

    Don't worry, at this rate token prices on RT are going to be enough to almost make a profit on packs by the new year!
    It's not all bad b:laughb:chuckle

    well ulq...

    yes atm. with the high 2.x Mil gold prices on RT server there are not meny items in the packs that have gained in price as the gold has and they might never gain that much b:laugh ..

    some ppl ingame think they are getting more out of the packs & other items and the game itself if the gold is high but as some might have noticed by now its just making "some" ppl lose alot irl coins on c'sing ...
    and it is just making it all harder on all the ppl that are playing the game to get the "endgame" gear they want


    f:money just raise the items prices or lower the gold prices to gain more profit ijs f:cool

    it's always been like this, packs make you lose money but its fun to open them sometimes if you can afford and who knows maybe you win something!

    what has it always been like this b:question
    hmm sounds like you havent played that long.

    This takes me back to when gold was around 300k and all the way to 1m Ea and i opened around 2000+ packs a week without ANY loses

    ( a low gold price and a high item price = great profit on packs ijs ) b:victory

    pwi will never be the same as back then doh b:bye

    I have to agree..

    Here is irony for you.

    1 - I farmed really hard to buy cogs to make my own necklace
    2 - I had just enough left over to buy 2 packs from vendor before I was down to 10k in coin
    3 - My first pack was tokens (of course)
    4 - The second one? > the stamp.

    So, I sold the stamp to get my adorn.

    Next time I bough 1 pack - guess what was in it? Yes, the item to make the adorn.

    So.. I got refine orbs from people that vended.

    Generally when I buy my own packs.. I get tokens.. sometimes a charm or two.

    If they made packs that were "worth it" prices would just rise until you went +-0 when opening packs.

    Indeed, thats the fun of this economy. The players make the prices :) If packs are a very bad deal, all you can learn from that is that the average playerbase are terrible gamblers.

    Humans.... They spend their money on a bad deal lottery to buy variance. Then they spend money on a bad deal insurance to sell variance for certainty.

    PWI is a business.

    If they made packs "worth it".. they wouldn't make money on them.
    Here we go again....

    It's a digital good that costs nothing to make, what is this "they wouldn't make money on them" business?
