This offer has just appeared again where if you buy either a £10 or £20 pack of crystals you get 25% extra, and then 40% on the next one. Did this say "on your next purchase" before, as I have been waiting for the offer to just pop-up offering me the 40% extra pack? My fault if I didn't read it correctly, but I probably wouldn't have bought the pack the first time round if so.

Wow....what a cheap move by a way overpriced game.

Similarly, getting two packs that offer 25% extra each results in... 25% more crystals at the end of the day.

The way I read it is you need to buy both the packs that have 25% extra, then you get offered another pack that has 40% extra.

Didn't read it about having to buy both box and chest and then another box last time. Making me spend £40 in total. Bit too pricey. I'll stick with just a chest occasionally.

Not a savings due to getting slammed with tax on 3 occasions. Barely converts to any savings when compared to the 50 pack.

idk about tax, I'm in the us, but yeah, 25% more on each, plus the 40% more after.
