Please explain how this is a sale...

Today I logged on and viewed the offers in the item shop and saw that Advanced Nebula Jewels were on special under phirius tokens. They are 2100 Phirius tokens each. When I view how much the Advanced Nebula Jewels are normally, they are 1400 Phirius tokens each (plus you get 1 ruby!). So someone please explain how paying 150% more Phirius tokens is a sale? Thank you! :)

I went online to verify and yes, this is very obviously a mistake.

If anyone purchased the too expensive one, at the moment I can only ask you to contact our support, gladly with reference to this thread. I will have to escalate this for investigation what went wrong here.

Our apologies.

I would suggest checking the diamond ones also. 349 diamonds for the advanced nebula jewels seems very wrong.

They are normally 70. So, 5 for 349 is not a sale, but not an overprice

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

If someone posts mail address for NA sales/marketing department, I can send them my used calculator (has % on it, used for finances) and my old marketing book from Uni. :D:D:D

I am not sales, but...

From the news:

Quoted


  • Nebula Jewels at 50% off (+6 wing jewels)
  • Advanced Nebula Jewels (+12 wing jewels)
  • Enhanced Nebula Jewels (+16 wing jewels)



The Nebula Jewels are the ones on 50% off, the others are offered in bundles. The wings are the big special of this special offer. ;)

But the phirius Jewel one is clearly a mistake.

I think the EU people need to realize that we dont have a diamond npc like EU side does. You cant give us the same "sale" because we cant get 15 diamonds a day or whatever it is, for free. I dont really like to ever flame rw/fa because i understand yall cant fix everything everyone qq's about, but really? Do you not look at what the regular price is before you post the sale? If they aren't discounted, why are they in the weekly offer section?

Probably... but the regular price on them is 70. So, it is not like the other deal where the sale price is higher than regular.

And, yeah, wing jewels are kinda meh.

I am also a little confused how a "weekly" sale lasted only one day. :(

Actually, they only last 9 hours. Maybe that is the typical work week for an typical paid Frogster employee?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that those were daily sales ;)

It didn't last a day either, on this end of the world a day is 24 hours not 9.

Also we work for 8 hours+ a day and have to drive, so the ones with paychecks can't buy your 9 hour sales when they get home.

Maybe the complaints have something to do with the FACT that those are listed under weekly sales in the Item Shop.

And you are still not addressing the 2++ year old bug of the Item Shop ending sale promotions early.

I'm going to bump the thread because, for the 2nd time, this is now a "sale" under phirius token offers again. Please explain how this keeps happening and why the "sale" prices are 150% of the normal price. I think it's time to have people make sure that the "sale" is actually lower cost than the regular items are.
