Well it'S funny that we are having these sales now, i would warn everyone not to buy to many of these. Since next chapter is around the corner and that the level cap will be raised. They might put it to level 82 and then we need to buy the next set of jewels loll and those will be obsolete. Just saying ;-).

I don't think it will go to level 82. I think it might be 80.

Sale says "up to 50%", but I don't see anything discounted to anywhere near 50%. +12's are discounted by ~ 15% (I think normal price is 10 dias higher?), and +16's are pretty much at "normal price".

I thought at least 1 item had to be discounted up to 50% for a sale to say that?

Theyve always done this. They're saing that an enhanced packs "normal price" is 200 diamonds but they're being nice and cutting it in half... Even though they're never sold outside of sales.

yea, its 50% off the price that they never offered them at.
A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

Maybe they think we are bad at math or marketing strategies in North America, that would explain why they think, we think those sales suck. Don't say 50% of something that doesn'T exist. Put them in IS permanently and then you can say 50% off, until then it'S not really a sale.

You're going to have to buy a lot of these on the road to +20.

Yeah, I don't think the level cap will go above 80 right away. They really like to milk the crap out of people, because if you go from 77 to 82 right away, yeah sure you have no use for these, but if it goes from 77 to 80, you have a use for these, you buy more of these to gear more gear, then when it does go to 82-83-85 you have to buy all new jewels :).

They aren't dumb when it comes to things like that. Only because of the amount of practice they have in it.

You guys haven't figured out yet? It's 50% discount but on the plussing success. If average success would be 80% chance with their discount you get only 40% success rate.

I bet its even lower then that .. and its that stupidity from the great minds at gameforge that has made this game almost a ghost town ......... they think that they can rip people off with those ridiculous success rates and they will keep dumping money into the game ....... you think that someone there would be smart enough but it seems not.

"up to 50%" means 50% or less, doesn't it? Do you see any item on sale where discount does not fit that description? :p

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

"50% or less", but at least something has to be 50% off and everything else could be less, otherwise every store might as well just put "Up to 99.999% off" lol.

Would it help any if they put those enhanced jewels on sale for a few days at 40 dias so that 20 dias would be 50% off? Heck, they can put them for for 80 dias, then 20 dias would be 75% off. Even better.

Lest you think I am being facetious, it is not that uncommon to mark something up so you can offer a discount. There is a store that I have never heard advertising at worse than "Buy One, Get One Free". That is their usual sale. Good sale is "Buy One, Get Two Free" and once in while they run "Buy One, Get Three Free". Something tells me they don't really expect anyone to buy not during "get free" period; assuming they even have one to begin with.

Unfortunatelly there are people like that, I found someone on fly party with the outrageous 25 dias magic perfume (1 day). How can we get the 30 day back if there's always someone filling their wallets with these stupid prices?

people complain and moan about prices...then buy anyways...GF is getting mixed messages...

a store isn't gonna lower prices below what you WILL pay just because u don't WANT to pay that much...

as long as people will buy it for ridiculous prices, people will sell for ridiculous prices...
