The WoT XBOX 360 Gold Economy
DIR By: BYTORtheSn0wd0g

I have saved this thread from the WoT360 forums and refer to it
often when decided what I will spend my money on.

My question is this (hopefully there is a math teacher among
us).... If the price for purchasing 3000 gold is $14.99, the
unit price is 200. The price for 12000 gold is $49.99, the
unit price is 240. Yet if you purchase 4 of the 3000 Gold
pack, the total would be $59.96. Why is it cheaper if the unit
cost is higher? Am I missing something here? Its been 27 years
since I took any Calculus.

i think you are inverting your math equation. 12,000 gold at
$49.99 is .0041 cents per, and 3,000 gold at $14.99 is .0049
cents per. :coin:

The bigger the bulk purchase the cheaper the overall cost for
the same quantity of gold. Basically WG cuts you a discount if
you spend the big bucks and acquire a larger package. So the
deal is spend more money, get more gold for less than if you
were to buy multiples of a smaller gold package.

My grammer sucks so it must really tear you up inside reading
anything i post.LOL.So im apologizing in advance.Wargaming
exploits the gold purchasing.A 14.99 card sure 29.99 not
happening 25.00 yeah.They know this so you forced to buy another
card like the t34-88.It required a25. and 15.cards for the 6500
gld with a little surplus.Im sure the way prices are set was due
to a deal with ms.If you only get a 25. gift card your spending
power the 14.99 pack the 6.99 pack always leaving the 3.02
balance i call the big shaft.

SPF - Thank you. Makes sense now. I saw what the OP did and
just followed instead of trying to figure the flaw. I knew it
didn't make sense. 1 thing I don' :scream:t do is add up all I
have spent on this game. That would just ruin it for me.....
