I’m posting this here as it directly concerns the BLTC and is not a buy as such.

I was looking at the BLTC considering purchasing gems for my account and noticed something totally weird, if my screen for the prices of gems is different to anybody elses, then I guess it is bug (apologies for posting here then.)

So here goes, being a UK player 800 gems would cost me £8.50, 1600 gems would cost £17.00 (same price so no problem) but if I jump to getting 4000 gems I would lose out on 200 gems. 1600+1600+800 = 4200 at the same cost of 4000 at £42.50.

As an additional note, I haven’t worked out if 2800 gems is more of less 9they cost £29.75

Added a screenshot of prices.

You’re doing your math wrong.

1600 + 1600 + 800 = 4000 not 4200

They’re all the same price per Gem.

2800 gems is rightly priced at £29.75. £17 (1600) + £8.50 (800) + £4.25 (400) = £29.75

and 1600 + 1600 + 800 = 4000, not 4200, so the price is right there too

I can see the problem. 1600+1600+800 = 4000 gems not 4200 gems, so the cost of the larger package is in fact the same as buying the same number of gems in smaller packages.

Also the 2800 gem package is 3.5 times the cost of the 800 gem package which fits because 800 × 3.5 = 2800.

The gem/real money price has always been the same no matter how many gems you buy.

You just fail at math OP.
