    Today, 25 HP for 100 3 star shards. I favorited a 3 star that was about to give out a LL tokens. 25 HP for a ll token is a pretty great deal.

    I think you might be misplacing credit here. The source of the good rewards is your 3* champ farm. Those 25hp only accelerated things a little bit at you would have earned that many 3* shards from a few days worth of heroic/elite/might tokens.

    I paid 25 HP and got a LL token. No need for deeper analysis.

    Today’s is such an amazing deal. My Jessica Jones was very appreciative of it. Looking close to finishing now after Spidey

    Legendary token for 99 cents today, oh and some other tokens too I guess.

    If you divide out the cost of buying LT through any deal, then $0.99 for 1 is a steal.

    Absolutely but then I look at how many I get for free and easily maintain pulling for all three latest and it’s a worthless deal for me now in real money.

    With that logic you would never buy any deals because everything in the game you can get for free (except costumes). Buying deals simply accelerates your progress.

    Well the MT lightning deal seems to have doubled in price...

    I thought that looked a little expensive.

    Yeah, definitely not that great a deal today.

    New lightning deal for me today: $1.99 for 100x 5* shards.

    Not nearly as compelling as the HP offer. $9.99 for a 5* cover of your choice is not terrible pricing in the current MPQ environment, but I think I may pass as I don't want to train BCS that this sort of micro-sale is a good revenue stream.

    Yeah I'm out.
    I'm not going to tell them that it's OK to increase prices.

    But according to your theory, it's only new players who buy,
    So you're pricing them out.

    I think we had like 200 hp for the 100 5 *shards these new deals are not enticing at all

    100% this. I know inflation is high at the moment but 100% in 2 weeks is a bit much.

    Agree with the cost increase in like for like things. The MT hike was a bit obvious and not worth it at my stage of the game. But, hey, if 40% fewer people bought it, it's a net win.

    This 100 5* shards is interesting, because 200HP costs £1.29, the same as the shard cost. So it's not cost inflation as such, it just disincentivises those who are HP-rich from buying it. Those who don't have enough HP might have bought the HP to buy the shards anyway. That said, I don't earn the real money value just by playing the game every day...

    It'd be interesting to see what the difference was in take up of the 2 offers (£1.29 v 200HP).

    Exactly. He is single handedly making things better for the never buy crew! Oh how they laugh!
