Scraped up $100 to buy royal crystals....

[AzureLuna]

I bought the 12,000 +20% bonus royal crystals for $99 and I only got 12,000 and nothing more??? I figured Id go with the big amount so I could get the bonus!! Anyone else have this issue of not getting the bonus when purchasing crystals from the store?

[Saphirro]

the 20% is already in the amount lol. if 1k is 9.99 and you multiply it by 10 you get 10k for 99.90. Srsly none understand math nowadays?

[Aeskyndr]

well, if you would have payed 10x10 you would only get 10k, 20% extra makes that 12k.

[Tamika]

The extra 20% is already in the 12,000 you received. It is not 12,000 + 20%.

quik mafs.

[tankanidis]

the only crystal pack that seems good is the starter pack thing for 1100 royal crystals that gives 2600 blue crystals

but then you go to buy it and choices are either 1000 or 2200 royal crystals for real life money so that type of bad sales practice cost them more than a few sales i think since you can't buy it exactly

nothing about this game makes you feel you should at all spend money... you can get literally everything someone spends money on for free. And it has zero affect on PVP.

my free to play buddy is 6 item levels higher than me, and I'm almost 900 bucks in. He's having a blast and so am I. proof it's not pay to win.

if i realised i was higher ilvl due to RNG than someone who paid 1,000 i'd be happier too

Yep, PVP is completely balanced.. unlike some games out there that give you a serious advantage over other players.. all buying is doing in lost ark is making you better in PVE which you actually benefit from (if you are in a party) either way.. you team up with someone who has bought progress in pve and thus you earn out of it.

Other than that you aren't losing out.. there is absolutely nothing they are gaining over you, no advantage too be had other than fashion items and pets/mounts its all graphics.

And when it comes to equipment that people have purchased via crystals/gold surely that benefits you who are teamed up with them because if someone is willing to put their cash flow into items alone then they must have a clue what the hell they are doing in regards to mechanics.

Average players.. play the game take time out and make slow but steady progress.. same as a free to play player.

Overall.. same story either way its all about time and lost ark has mastered the art of consuming that, lol.

Haha Wow! Ok I misread what was being sold. I thought it would be 12k PLUS 20%. I understand now that it was the 10k +2k as the 20%. Anyway, pretty funny to see how triggered the babies get. :) Thank you for all your wonderful responses, I'm glad to know I am not missing anything.

or use gold you farm for crystals? i literally have 4 alt army in tier 3 and i make about 8000 gold most the time, conversion is cheaper today at around 610 per so about 13 or 14 can net you

dun dun dun
1330 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ royal blue crystals


800 royal crystals is around 1880, so
nearly 20 dollars worth

you really don't need to buy anything if you actually play the game except those skin packages and even then someone can buy em and post em up on the auctionhouse for gold exchange instead.

I do not think you can get the Omen skins and mount just from playing the game. It has to be purchased. When I enjoy a FREE TO PLAY game I like to support it by making purchases from their store. It seems reasonable to me. I do not like the P2W set up that some games have. The system that is in place with LostArk seems like it is well balanced.

Anyway...
