You're alternating between saying a dollar is essentially zero, and saying the difference between a dollar and zero is materially significant. If the difference between a dollar and zero dollars is important enough to be a deal breaker for someone, then the offer cannot be "essentially" a gift. If the cost is low enough to be considered a gift, then it is low enough to be considered immaterial to any purchaser. Conversely, if the cost is material enough to be a deal breaker, that cost is significant and the offer is not a gift. You cannot reasonably claim both. I'm saying that the way this offer is being released, is basically a "gift" that is only available for pay2win players only, leaving a big amount of free2play players without ways to get this. @eXtripa69 how would you feel if the deal was literally one cents? Would it still be against your morals. I’m not taking the piss here this is a genuine question As I said before, it would still be impossible for me to buy it.

BOOM, no argument can be made against that because that is the exact proof of stratified sampling applied in the very scenario. I'm afraid an argument can be made against that, because that is not correct. Stratified sampling is a statistical analysis tool where a single group to be stochastically measured is divided into a number of subgroups and then each subgroup is individually sampled. To be valid, the groups or strata must be well defined, mutually exclusive, and globally covering. In other words, to use stratified sampling on the group of all players that play MCOC, you must find a set of groups such that every player is a member of one and only one of those groups, you must know how to properly sample each group relative to the statistical measurement being attempted, and you must sample every group in your measurement. Polling Reddit to determine the age distribution of all players of the game is not stratified sampling. It is sampling a subset, which is statistically improper because Reddit users are self-selected in ways that make it unlikely to be a representative sample of all players, and because there's no way to correct for this discrepancy by sampling the subset of all players that are not on Reddit for comparison. I'm afraid both of you are using the term "stratified" wrong. Reddit is not a strata, it is a subset. It is not a representative subset. Statistically speaking, a seven year old cross-sectional survey and a Reddit poll both have problems, but the seven year old survey is more statistically valid. To extrapolate the seven year old survey, you simply have to factor in the likelihood that the age distribution of all gamers hasn't suddenly changed in seven years, which is likely (but not certainly) to be true to a significant degree. The Reddit poll isn't statistically valid at all, because it is a self-selected subset of a self-selected subset of a non-representative subset of all players.

For purposes of this event, Kabam wants us to achieve an additional 250k in less than a month. Definitely not impossible by any means but for the most part, it's wishful thinking.

Why don't you look it up and do some research and then come back and then comment otherwise you just lose all credibility. @Draco2199 The study you posted is nearly 7 years old. Not exactly relevant as a statistic today. Here is a chart from a Reddit survey of over 1400 Reddit users and just under 1 year old. Not exactly scientific, but more relevant than something from 7 years ago. The results? Less than 6% of the player base is under 17. Um, all that survey tells you is that less than 6% of the Reddit users that visit the Marvel CoC are under the age of 17.....the game has hundreds of thousands of players...many of them from many different countries....many of them that would never go to red How is that any better or worse than a study that is 7 years old and that was put out before this game even existed? What @Draco2199 cited was a survey of the general population in regards to mobile gaming as a platform conducted by an actual market research company...yes it is 6 or 7 years old...but when you are looking at industry wide demographics the shifts in numbers tends to be rather gradual... The reddit survey of a small segment of people that frequent the Marvel CoC Reddit...has slightly more validity than many of the polls that pop up on this forum, but mot much more. It is too small a segment of the game's population and was only available to people that go to that site. I know many people that will not even click a link that goes to any Reddit...it is not a general survey. Then in many ways that is similar or could be considered stratified sampling meaning that it does have some value even if it is only a group of reddit users. No not really since it basically eliminates the demographic that we are talking about, its a subsection of a subsection of the data we are discussing. Should have googled it...but guess you were too busy posting throughout other parts of the forum. That is exactly what the definition of stratified sampling is. Nice try though. 1400 people isn't a large enough sample size lol, especially stratified using only reddit which is mostly 18 and up group. So all you did was verify that reddit is mostly an 18 and up group and even in that demographic 6% is still under 18 playing mobile games. So if we took that data and assumed that 6% was the low end of your stratified sample then you could assume that globally including 18 and under groups would be much higher around the % that I used which is actually lower than what other studies have shown. So you just proved my point for me. Thanks. No, I pretty much just proved you do not do enough research and do not know the definition of what stratified sampling is. If you took all the people that play this game and also interact in the Reddit group for it (thus creating a strata) and then pulled a sample from that then you have performed stratified sampling.

Thanks for playing, do not pass go, do not collect $200!

Why don't you look it up and do some research and then come back and then comment otherwise you just lose all credibility. @Draco2199 The study you posted is nearly 7 years old. Not exactly relevant as a statistic today. Here is a chart from a Reddit survey of over 1400 Reddit users and just under 1 year old. Not exactly scientific, but more relevant than something from 7 years ago. The results? Less than 6% of the player base is under 17. Um, all that survey tells you is that less than 6% of the Reddit users that visit the Marvel CoC are under the age of 17.....the game has hundreds of thousands of players...many of them from many different countries....many of them that would never go to red How is that any better or worse than a study that is 7 years old and that was put out before this game even existed?

Don't get me wrong, I'm no statistician but I do know a thing here or there. 750 / 3 = 250k likes per year on average. For purposes of this event, Kabam wants us to achieve an additional 250k in less than a month. Definitely not impossible by any means but for the most part, it's wishful thinking. The problem with this thinking is that I'm 48 years old and only have 12 5* champs, so that's only one every four years. You're dividing all the likes they have across the existence of the game, but have they been actively trying to boost those likes for all of those three years with ad campaigns? The question is not how many they have over how much time, but to what degree can they encourage more likes which has little to do with how many they already have. At the current like curve, they need to go significantly faster.
