Y'all letting Walmart do your Web Store math?

Cant you just take the prices right of the store? AFAIK those are exactly the price of all individual components for relic pieces

Sorry, i didn't know that such things existed.
I don't see them in my web store, price for individual full G12 gear.

I see only these in the ingame store.


And yes, you are right, that would be simpler, if I could just take the individual price of full G12 gear from the store. But sorry, i can't find it.

So:

1)521.77/2 = 261 per 1 item

2)1800/3 = 600 per 1 item
3700/3 = 1233 per item
average: (600+1233)/2 = 917 pet item

So the average cost of items in bundle is 917 per item and you pay 261 per item... in average

So if you buy it in the store, it's more expensive because it's a special deal? I realize your deovtion to bleeding our wallets for datacron rubbish, but this is G12 gear and it's 24 cents more expensive.

I know it has been answered but since you moved the goalposts rather than acknowledging the mistake, I'll answer it again.

No it isn't.

You say that as if they are literal goalposts, not figurative ones. If the price is actually 14.99, so be it. (I even liked multiple posts pointing that out.) They still released something yet again without doing a common sense check. Their 300% value "appears" to be a reach according to some of the math done above. (So, still appropriate to Wal-Mart math)

If only there was a way for CG to check things before they were released, to determine quality of product? They could call it Quality confirmation, or maybe Quality Control? Perhaps Quality Insurance. Hmm, how about Quality Assurance? Any of those could work I suppose. Perhaps the CGDF will volunteer to help with that?

Any other perspectives from the CGDF today?

i agree with TVF.

your first ill-conceived argument was that $14.24 was more than the (incorrectly assumed) $14.00 - goalpost set - and when someone mentioned the 300% issue, you latched on that as your main issue - goalpost moved.

Just take the L on this one and create a new thread for your new "CG has gone and done it again" post.

You moved the goalposts of the thread. Your OP was about one thing, the price "increase." That was wrong.

I don't even see why it matters. 300% value or 100% value.
Value is in the eye of the purchaser.
To me it has 0 value and I wouldn't buy it.

It does matter.

If any1 remembers how SUBWAY (the sandwich) was prosecuted because it sold "1 foot long sandwich" which was not 1 foot. In the end, SUBWAY agreed to settle the lawsuit with a half million dollars.

False advertisement is against the law.

BUT...

On the other side, the game gives out many crystals for free to pay for those full G12 gears.
So, if you are bothered with the allegedly not true "300% value", don't buy the gears with RL money, but with crystals.

This is very common terminology, and not false advertisement. They didn't say it's 300% value based on crystal cost. They gave no details. I guarantee they have some internal table with cost just in case, but no entity that has the power to do anything about anything would actually ask them about it.

Not even close to the same thing

Value as a unit of measure is vague (on purpose)

" Over 300% value" means jack, since they never gave you the measuring stick.

Every micro transaction game I have ever played uses the same terminology to get suckers, I mean players to part with their money.
