Limited sales have higher prices than normal shop prices

Hello

in shop with the usual monday rebate vouchers we can buy 30 runaway cavalry medals for 35 black diamonds.
Without rebate vouchers it will cost 50 black diamonds.

Now i can buy 5 Runaway Cavalry medals in limited sales for 10 black diamonds which they claim are 40 % off.
So to buy 30 medals i need to spend 60 Black diamonds in limited sales.

Some people would call that a scam.

Why are troop medals priced the same as Commander medals in limited sales?
I did the math and did not fall into this.
I nevertheless think any players that actually did spend black diamonds in the limited sales should get compensation for being robbed.

Hello there Lord Gormadoc,

Another day another challenge! Another suggestion ticket to submit with a rather interesting topic to discuss.

Stay safe and wash your hands!

Regarding this issue, I reckon the regular price of medals is increasing by extra packs. On the other hand, Limited Sales also has a limited amount of medal to purchase too. Hence, I think it's calculated based on both the total amounts of medals on sale. If it's not, forgive my baby brain

You may very well be correct in that assesment.
It makes perfect sense, to set it up like that.

Except if we dig a few feet deeper, would be my counter argument.

The method i bought medals for commanders and troops was to buy one pack for 35 or 50 black diamonds that gave 10-15 commander- or 30 troop medals.
Skip the next pack that cost 100-200 black diamonds and gave 20 commander or 60 troop medals.
Wait a week and buy a new pack for 35 or 50 black diamonds. wash rinse repeat. :-)

I think this is the way most players do it.
Some players just buy it all at once, no matter the cost.

The players buying it all at once, wont care about limited sales, they already maxed it long before there is a limited sale.
The players that buy them overtime each week will suffer increased prices if buying them in limited sales.
So they will have no incentive to buy the troop medals in limited sales.

My suggestion would be to increase the amount off troop medals in limited sales for 10 black diamonds.
Then decrease the total amount players are able to buy through limited sales to avoid to big a incentive to buy all from limited sales.

Currently the only players that should buy troop medals in limited sales are players that want to max everything. But still have the patience to wait for a limited sales to pop up.
I will imagine that group of costumers are minor.
I may well be wrong on the last point.
Only statistics of how many troop medals that are sold through limited sales can tell us that. :-)

But if i get statistics against me, i will just claim its because people cant do math.
