4,050cc at 55% off?! Seems like some funny math to me. I don’t recall the original price being 9,000cc.
pay no attention to those numbers..just buy it!
It’s sleazy marketing, they’ve been doing this for a long time; using a fictional base price to pretend a big discount.
It’s not a fictional base price
The base is number_of_packs * price_per_pack (30 * 300 = 9k)
Yes, it’s fictional because it never actually debuted at that price. Their new packs launch with a so-called ‘discount’ already applied. A marketing technique that is actually illegal in retail in the EU, but EA somehow gets away with.
see it as a discount for buying in bulk (which is pretty standard everywhere)
since the price when buying all the packs 1 by 1 actually would be 9k (as far as I remember, there has not been a single pack that has never been outside a discount)
the base price of the hypercrate is never used as selling price, but due to bulk discount
I don’t see how that makes the base price fictional
The regular price is already “discounted,” so this price is not 55% off regular price, but the full price that’s never actually charged.
That makes sense, can’t remember seeing a hypercrate for 8k + before, probably due to them almost always having a “price reduction” of some kind.
30 crates of 300 costs 9000. so the price is right.
Remember to buy the pathetic customization options! We put them on a steep discount. Don’t look at the price. Trust us. That’s 55% off!
That’s 55% off a price we made up in the first place, based on how much profit we expect to make out of you all! Bargain!
[sarcasm]Great discount….[/sarcasm]
Admittedly, that varactyl looks good ingame, and that blaster is one of the best looking ones (or best looking IMO) in the entire game. The less said about that 55% discount, the better…..
The Varactyl is one of my favorite mounts, it looks amazing. I loathe blasters that look like they come from the Wild West.
Dulfy, you are a saint for keeping up w/ the SWTOR coverage.
I find it ironic your name is Targeter, and the pic is a Chiss.
Why? Because my main (from even before the game launched when you could reserve names and pick classes on the forums) has always been a Chiss Sniper named Targeter. If you’re referring to Targeter, the Alderaanian rebel out of the EU, then I guess I see your point?
Yeah I’m talking about Winter, a cool but badly underused EU character…who was introduced in the same book as Thrawn and the Chiss. It’s there I see the irony.
Except Loyal Adherents Armor Set. I never saw such an ugly pack.
They’re not even trying anymore.
