I also posted the following in another thread in suggestions and feedback, but i think it would be more noticable here.

This is a sort-of guide that explains the stupidity of converting plat to gold! :D:D:D:D:D:D

With my superb math skills :P:P:P


Sts wants to avoid making this game a "pay-to-win." Sts only has plat purchases because buying plat makes you look better in most cases, not be better (exception of plat pack.) Furthermore. Sts has very terrible plat to gold conversion rates such as 750 plat for 250k gold....

Lets do the math.

Scenario: lets say someone buys 500$ worth of platinum (in other words roughly 5 of the 2000 plat offer for 89.99 +tax making it like 95-100$)

5*2000= 10000

10000 plat is a great tool to have to buy elixir's to speed up lvling, luck, etc, and also to look cool, and buy 'wanted' vanities.


However, 10000 plat converted to gold is not the best use of the 500$ investment:

10,000/750= 13.33 (round down in this case ~13~) conversions of 250k gold

250*13= 3.25m

If u think about it 3.25m for 500$ is not worth it! ~^~^~**UNLESS YUR KRAZY RICH OR KRAZY DESPERATE**~^~^~

Just think about it this way: You can easily spend 80 plat (or 0.008 of total bought plat amount)
for a combo elixir to increase your loot chance.

spending a little time for literally 80 plat to farm vamp feast for instance can win you 3.25m + just from the dragon loot.

I know this isnt very realistic.... (who spends 500$ on pl anyway?) Thats me!

Anyway, even for a simple 2000 plat purchase, that is only equal to 500k gold + 500 plat leftover.



Not_worth_it.

Lol, this turned out to more of a guide than a response, but hey, the more the better

People don't need a guide to see that buying gold with plat is a rip off.
