    Default False Advertising?

    50% off all XP Boosts 25-stacks

    off ALL generally means ALL stacks not just 25

    I find this false...and ran to the store thinking x5 stacks would be 50% off also. :P

    Maybe reword it to say stacks of 25 only?

    I think it has to do with there being more than just one type of XP elixir. So "All 25-Stacks" refers to: 10% for 3 hours, 20% for 3 hours, 10% for 6 hours and 20% for 6 hours.

    At least that's what I took it to mean.

    ...just went back and re-read it, and perhaps it could be clearer. I still took it for what it is, but it is understandable how he could be misunderstood.

    It could read "50% off 25-stack XP Boosts"

    The other day, my local grocery store ran an ad stating that all twelve packs were on sale. WhenI got there, would you believe that six packs were not included in the sale?

    The sale is what they stated in the advertisement. It is not ambiguous. They even include the price. I don't see a problem here.

    Some people are attuned to detail. Others "do" detail for a living. If nitpicking bothers you, don't trouble yourself with reading the thread.

    You should start a sentance with a capital letter.

    You must really be tired. You even typed that it was 50% off the 25 stacks in your original post.
