REALLY?!! WOW, Nice. Thanks. Love it when I spend lots of hard earned money on cool mtx's and then they go on sale shortly after. Seems to happen a lot, and there already way to expensive if you break it down. I love this game and I like to support it but some of this is ridiculous.

The laws of RNG.

The longer something is not on sale, the sooner it will be.

It's an example of some one not understanding the math. They're basically trying to go from the discounted price of 290 for the Gloom Wings back up to the original price (which was 390), then testing the math to make sure it works, and finding out the new discounted value is lower than the original discounted price. They got 362.5 instead of 390. Using 360, 75% of that is lower than the 290, they're realizing there's something wrong. I don't know if they have a guess as to what is wrong at this point though.

The % discount is 25%, but it's not exactly 25%, it's a bit more. 25.641% is the actual discount. They decided to take the discounted price and multiply by 100% + the discounted amount (25%, so 125%) to try and get the original price. Obviously that doesn't work, since 25% of a number other than the original, is not going to be the same amount as 25% of the original. 100 at 25% off is 75, but 75 * 125% is 93.75, or 94 if rounded up. To get back to the original number, you'd have to use 133.333...% as the multiplier. So, using the original 25.641% discount, the multiplier needed is 134.483%. 290 * 134.483% puts you back at the original 390. From there, testing 390 * 74.359%, you get 290. This is basically where they were trying to go, but didn't understand how the math works.

Edit: Added a couple words for clarity.

Yeah I know, but their regular price is 390.

Not only that, but 75%/125% is not how you would compare the differences on a sale price that is 75% of the original, it'd be 75%/133%.
