lol u hate on this thread and not other one anyways u some type of economics specialist? lol

No I am not an econimics specialist, I am an econimics student. Will be a specialist in ~8 years.

I can translate that long article for ya in words u can comprehend.

If the discount is not going to make profit, it is useless to make a discount.

The ones who regularly buy platinum will most likely buy 2k plat pack and that's it. 2k plats is almost enough to lvl 3 toons to elite cap with trashers so there has to be quite a few new platinum consumers.

So using that equation out of that wikipedia article (the basic equation) if prices r lowered with 20% there should be >20% more consuming than there would be without the big platinum sale.

As I said, most platinum buying players will buy that single 2k plat pack regardless of the sales and therefore there should be whole lotta new consumers. Which is IMO unrealistic.

This all is in theory because we cannot rly have the actual platinum buying rates and we cannot procedure those two different scenarios at once.
