Did anyone buy this? Where I'm from this would cost about $500 for 10,000 red shards and a chance to get IP. What world are these guys living in? I could buy an Xbox1 and two games for that price!

So you're assuming that people only spend money on the game, and don't also hoard resources, such as units, to make purchases like that, but without spending their money?
Odd paradigm.
Really good point!
I guess my point is that there is an associated monetary value of units and for that many units I just find the offer poor.
For a game in decline their offers are ludicrous.
Example (time taken varies for each individual): To form a full 5* crystal.
365 days playing 4 hours everyday.
Assuming able to obtain paid work at $5 per hour (too much? or too little?) and not playing.
This works out to $7,300. Ok, too ridiculous.
Let's change the rate to $0.5 per hour. The new figure is $730. Wait, still too high.
What about rate at $0.05? $73 total.
I personally can't imagine paying $73 for a 5* crystal. I can understand if others think it is fine.
Of course, $73 is not the price. It's just illustration.
Just by playing the game for a few hours a day (if you are in a good alliance) you can get 200x PHC, 10x 3* and 4x 4* per month.
Or the equivalent of 34000 units worth of crystals. Depending on the amount of sig 99 champs you have you will most likely get a few more 3* and 4* shards equalling more units.
This is roughly 11 odins worth of crystals per month for free. Or about USD $1100.
Which brings the question why does anyone spend anything on this game?
Especially when a 4* crystal will cost 2500 units or about USD $80
Extrapolate that out into a 5* and if you were to solely use 4* dupes (lets assume no sig 99 champs) it will take 36x 4* dupes to get enough shards for a 5*. In order to get that many offers you will need to purchase 360x 3* crystals and 3600x PHC
Costing a whopping 237600 units or 77 odins or USD $7700
Obviously people can earn 5* shards and the whales will have lots of sig 99 4* champs significantly reducing the amount of 4* dupes needed to get more shards, but no matter what way you look at it 8000 units for 10000 shards is a good deal....
but someone gotta provide the income. if got money then spend to progress faster. thats how gaming works
totally agree with you mate. better than me spending my whole weekend glued to the screen grinding hehheee
thers nothing wrong with dropping some coin. just dont mislead people about it. as many know realms of legend at start was difficult as. none of these OP champs to use etc...
For the record bro, I don't feel like that amount of work is worth one 5* crystal. I understand that having those units already would seem like a decent deal. We only get about one 5* a month, I think it should start to be a bit more than that soon. I'm sure I could get more if I spent a bit more time in the arena so I could dupe more. But 10k units? I just don't see a reason where 1 shard should equal 1 unit. I think the 49.99$ offer for a 4* crystal was too much with the state the game is and where it's headed. Maybe that's just me. I don't know.
