There's one thing that bugs me for a while regarding Special Offers (those where you need to select 1 of 3 chests first).
Why do devs claim that the "original price" of this special offer is $99?
As you can see right below this offer, there's real $99 offer, where you can get about 30% more rubies and value of bonus items is 3 time higher!
Is this supposed to be some kind of "business" trick?
tiss special because u are getting 20k rubies for half price with extras, the one below that you are paying full price....
wouldn't you agree, paying 50 bucks is rather cheaper then the hundred?

did you miss the part with total value of bonus items and rubies ?
50$ is cheaper than a 100$ (no need to be smart for that ) , but its obvious that you buying 3 times less for 50$ in this case ...

For 50$ you get less than for 99$, that's obvious. My point is why Plarium claims that the first offer (Special Offer) is discounted from 99$ to 49$ while the package is not worth of 99$.
The second offer (Construction Speedup) is there just for comparison, to show the real value of real 99$ offer.
they all cost too much. At most vets level we use all of that 99$ package worth of everything in an afternoon. PL's packages need to keep up with the times and the consumption. folks should stop spending 1k a month or it will never change. The whole business model is antiquated, nobody uses 9's anymore or lies about list pricing. PL would make a ton more money if all prices were dropped 95% and based it on a micro pay system. 5000 users spending 5 bucks makes more than 10users spending 100 bucks every hour.

You have missed my point. It is irrelevat what Offer has (boosts, units, resources or potions). If I'd take a screenshot two hours later, there could be a 99$ offer with units.
My point is, and I try to keep it as simple as possible, why does Plarium claims that the Special Offer's original price is 99$ (see the picture below) while its value is significantly lower?
Total value of this Special Offer is 27 700 rubies + bonus items worth of 59 820 = 87 520 rubies.
Total value of normal 99$ offer is around 210 000 - 220 000 rubies.
Do you get my point now? This offer's value is nowhere near the normal 99$, yet Plarium claims this offer is discounted from 99$ to 49$.
It looks like some kind of deceptive advertising.

Oh, sorry. I really misunderstood you first. Thanks for the details. Basic price depends on the basic amount of Rubies. Bonuses added are random (well, not completely random, but random within a certain range). So basically you buy the 99$ regular offer (16500+4200) and get some extra bonuses for your purchase. Sometimes you receive more, sometimes less.
I see.
I see.
Thank you for explanation!
