How much are TPs?

[Baahb3]

I could not find a quick list...

Anyone know how much money Turbine points are?

Point Pricing:


..400 - $6.25
..900 - $11.99
1500 - $18.99
3300 - $38.99

Point Pricing:


..400 - $6.25
..900 - $9.99
1500 - $18.99
3300 - $39.99

Those prices seem odd to me. Look at TP/$.

400/$6.25 = 64 TP/$
900/$10 = 90 TP/$
1500/$19 = 78.95 TP/$
3300/$40 = 82.5 TP/$

I'm not surprised that the cheapest is the worst option, but the second cheapest is by far the best. 4x 900@$10 gives 300 more TP than 1x 3300@$40.

this is dumb. turbine needs to hire better accountants/finance people. they're shooting themselves in the foot.

Not really.
Most people will go for the $18.99 option, on the assumption that it is the best bang for the buck w/o doing the math. Or, will be cheap and go for the lowest price point. However, with those two offering less Points for the dollar - it guarantees that the same buyers will be back sooner to buy again.

This is an example of very shrewd accounting.

900 is 11.99 and 3300 is 38.99.

haha, ok. I guess you're not in Sales.

This is a strategy that will work in the very short term, like 2 weeks, before it gets out on the forums and in-game that it's a bad deal. Also, people spending money, tend to look closely, and I don't think it would escape people for long.

Giving people a better deal for spending more money is actually the best business sense. And they're not doing that.

Sorry.

As did I, just 2 minutes ago. Do different people have different prices?

Edit: This is from my in-game store as of 3:40 today

900 is 11.99 and 3300 is 38.99.

this would make a lot more sense i think.

[Memnir]

I just double checked - and I admit, I goofed up. Not exactly sure how I goofed it up... but there ya go.

Ah well, can't get em all right. :D

Ediiting my original post - and my apologies to all.

Actually it's better to break it down on a per point price, so

Point Pricing:


..400 - $6.25 = 0.0156 cents / pt
..900 - $11.99 = 0.0133 / pt
1500 - $18.99 = 0.0126 / pt
3300 - $38.99 = 0.0118 / pt

So the 3300 is really the best bang for the buck

Did someone say 300 is the best bang of the buck? I concur.
