    Is it better to "like" or "Insightful" this post, since my crazy guess actually won the whole thing???

    That’s the same combination of my luggage!!
    "No sir!  I didn't see you playing with your Bagman again!"
    "How many Thorkoyes we got in this game anyhow?"

    *Just about every 5* PvP player stands up* "YO!"

    "I knew it. I'm surrounded by Thorkoyes! Keep firing, Thorkoyes!"

    129M / (5 * 365) is roughly 70K per day.

    A lot more than I estimated, I thought I'd already overshoot by going by just over 10K per day...

    To continue from DeNappa,
    70k / 5 = 14k purchase every day because 1 purchase gives 5 boosts each. That's still a lot. I thought they were referring to only Match Damage Boost that uses HP. So, it's for all form of damage boost.   :D

    Congrat to all winners.

    I didn't take it far enough. Stopped before 89.

    lol, me too.  1,234,567

    Sure would be nice to have some kind of baseline about how many players they have actively playing as a basis for this sort of thing.
