Umm no.. The drinks we're manageable if you mastered that Jp.. if not, bell choir wasn't a bad option either.. other wise a few friends to help with drinks.. The sigils/runes on the other hand.. hooboy. In 2015 guess how much I spent for 50? yep 39 silvers for each, so that was about 19-21 gold for 50 and 42-50 for both sigil/rune 50 gold at most for both 50 gold man!!! So here we are 2017, where you're paying 7.6-8 gold for 1 sigil/rune.... Soooo 400 gold for one stack of 50 and another 400 for the other stack.. so 800 total.. How is 50 vs 800 gold getting cheaper each year? And I don't want to hear that oooh this is a prestige shiny thingie... it shouldn't just be given away.. seriously shut up with that. I got mine for a reasonable 50 gold, and put in a ton of work on doing the jp to acquire the jp.. it felt good and fair getting all 10k drinks working hard each day and coming closer and close.. Now I see my friends.. with sad faces.. cause the poorly handled sigils/runes we're grossly implemented to have a value that went way over the radar and heavily punishes those that did not acquire it in 2015 and those new to the game.. and for what? A mystic coin sink? Not to single you out here, but you and a few others in this/other similar thread seem to be missing a key economic concept in determining how much you spent on Winter's Presence: Opportunity cost. You didn't just spend the 50g you spent on the Sigils and Runes; you also spent the money that you could have earned by selling the presents/drinks that you farmed or were gifted. If you farmed/were gifted and consumed 800g worth of drinks and bought 50g worth of sigils and runes then the skin cost you 850g, not 50g. You have to count the market value of all the items that you consumed unlocking the skin, not just the liquid gold that you spent. Not to do so makes the numbers you're using meaningless.
