Why is it that the first gem I buy costs the same as the last no matter the price? Bulk buying on a select few items that I may or may not use doesn’t really explain it. Anet needs to read up on marketing -.-
Having a bonus amount is a huge incentive on large purchases and I know people will still point to bulk buying but that is no substitute when the point or transaction is at buying gems plus nothing really worthwhile is on bulk buy. I highly doubt that the gem>gold conversion will get so screwed up with this concept.
