$40 to $45 USD if you purchase that amount of energon vs the cash purchase deals which are $50 USD and keep in mind it will be a random class u get. The last cash purchase $50 offer let u select which class u wanted.
So while the majority said yay, im gonna go with nah after that comparison. And the average gold yielded from those crystals is comparable to a days worth of arena crystals, so still nah.
You're a bit slow if you think energon is worth the cash equivalent in this instance. Energon can be accrued for free just by playing and cannot be spent on anything else in the real world. The cash required to buy the equivalent amount of energon is much more "valuable" given that it isn't virtual.
There will be plenty of f2p players that have that energon saved up who will really benefit from that deal.
You’re slower yet if u are unable do simple math. If someone doesn’t have the energon and decides to buy the energon to then purchase the deal, that is what it converts to. 2 + 2 does equal 4. Try it on a calculator if u r uncertain. Just because u specifically choose to collect it for free over time doesn’t mean it cant be bought at a specified dollar value. Dont be daft or troll just because u dont buy energon. The conversion is time vs money. For some people, the time is worth more than the money, obviously yours isn’t.
Having said that, I don’t really need to R5 anything at the moment so I’m probably not getting it. If I have anything less than 2 R5s, I would probably go for it.
IF you have to buy energon. However, even if you have none, it doesn't mean that it is worth the same in cash value. You can get it for free by swapping time. The only way that time is worth money is if you are actively playing the game instead of making money. It's a game, you should be playing for fun. Generally people
play it in their leisure time, so really that time isn't worth money.
If you want the energon instantly and you don't save it then yes it will cost money. If you don't keep energon saved though, then more fool you.
FYI I'm a spender, just like you are, but I can see that they absolutely cannot offer a deal for in game currency that can be accrued for free, at the same value as something you would have to spend actual money on. If you save up 3,100 energon it is still absolutely worthless outside of the game. Could save 10,000 energon - it's worthless. So yes, deals for energon have to be more "expensive" than the cash equivalent. Chances are, very few people will need to buy the full amount of energon anyway, so yeah if you do your math based on the assumption that people have 0 energon and that energon is worth the same value as the cash required to buy it, you're entirely correct. Your assumptions, however, are either incorrect or apply to a minority. Your inability to see past your own circumstances and see a much bigger picture are clouding your judgement.
We're getting a little close to personal attacks here. Keep it civil, stay on topic, be nice.
