Silk Usage Economics: Gold vs Silver Tickets

[CHIPS]

My conclusion is, Gold is more economical for anything that is one day. On ther other hand, Silver is more economical for anything that is 4 weeks. This analyst is based on the silk item prices on Nov 19, 2007. See below for details:

1) 1 day Skill Ticket
Silver: 50% extra, 7 silk
Gold: 100% extra, 9 silk
Economics: Benefits of Gold over Silver (200/150)=1.33, Cost of Gold over Silver (9/7)=1.28
Conclusion: Gold is more economical

2) 4 weeks Skill Ticket
Silver: 50% extra, 57 silk
Gold: 100% extra, 78 silk
Economics: Benefits (200/150)=1.33, Cost (78/57)=1.37
Conclusion: Silver is more economical

3) 1 day Time Service Ticket
Silver: 50% extra, 12 silk
Gold: 100% extra, 15 silk
Economics: Benefits (200/150)=1.33, Cost (15/12)=1.25
Conclusion: Gold is more economical

4) 4 weeks Time Service Ticket
Silver: 50% extra, 95 silk
Gold: 100% extra, 130 silk
Economics: Benefits (200/150)=1.33, Cost (130/95)=1.36
Conclusion: Silver is more economical

5) Premium
Silver: 60% extra, 150 silk
Gold: 100% extra, 200 silk
Economics: Benefits (200/160)=1.25, Cost (200/150)=1.33
Conclusion: Silver is more economical

6) Silver Time Service Ticket vs Silver Premium
Time: 50% extra, 95 silk
Premium: 60% extra, 150 silk
Economics: Benefits (160/150)=1.07, Cost (150/95)=1.58
Conclusion: If you feels that the bonus def and stats worth the extra (1.58-1.07) / (1.58 )=32% cost, go for it.

you are usign the wrong fractions buddy


200/150 is gold/silver it doesnt show price comparison of 1 day vs 4 week

[Disconn3cted]

premium gold is still better either way silver doesn't give the premium quest i think

Good job, really helpful.

Don't worry I didn't get it either -.-

Dude, there is no need to compare 1 day vs 4 week. All of the 4 week tickets are by far more economical than their 1 day counterparts. The question is are people willing to pay the higher price of the 4 week one.

Some of you guys don't get it? I am comparing different tickets from gold to silver, and see which one is more economical. Like, you get back more than you paid.

how you mkake those white boxes with text in them

[Renton]

Gold is better anyway I see it.. A dollar or two more(Well prem.. 5) for 50% more exp for 28 more days.

[Barotix]

how you mkake those white boxes with text in them

to make the white boxes with text in them you use

"[ quote ][ /quote ]" like so then simply fill in w/e you gotta put [without spaces of course ]

I LIKE PIE!!

see ^ just like that XD, or you could press the quote button >.>

[luffy07]

hmm the way i see it. 2 silver tickets offer the same bonus as 1 gold ticket (4 weeks). So 2 silver would cost 190 silk while 1 gold is 130 silk. Wheres the economy in that?

[whitesnow]

isnt silver 60%?

[Sethzor]

huh lol me no get it

+1 xD

Wait premium silver gives more than regular silver? Didn't know that.

[saraya]

I have always used silver premium tickets – until last week when I bought my first gold. There’s an interesting difference.

Silver ticket = no problems.

Gold ticket = getting DC’c every half an hour or so.

You can get straight back on, obviously – but that’s kinda not the point. Go silver!

Everyone gets tickets for leveling and sp. Just to do one side of the coin, let's look at sp...

Gold & Silver - 28 day service

Say you can normally average 500 sp/hr, so in 3 hrs with no ticket you have 1500 sp.

Gold rate - 1500 sp + 1500 sp = 3000sp.

28 x 3 = 84000sp.

Silver rate - 1500 sp + 750sp = 2250sp.

28 x 2.25 = 63000sp.

21000sp difference > having to buy another tick and/or grind more days.

Nothing beats gold. It's not a question of economics, it's more of a matter of efficiency. You get more xp/sxp for same amount of grinding.

[olivierd]

WRONG

In all cases, gold is more economical, your calcilations are totally wrong

[shoto]

i buy a pt mainly for server traffic....so it is economical for me to buy silver

if someone gets a gold ticket, they are getting it for the sp quest. Which IMO is not worth it. I mean sp quest give at most 2500sp....so maybe you can make 5k sp by the end of your ticket time (the whole 4 weeks) with the quest. :/ meh not really worth it

[Driver]

A more interested thing to do:

-> in game gold (for waste in power lvl) VS Tickets

Like, convert gold in game <-> price $$ in the gold bots company <-> $$$ of the silks

EXAMPLE:

Like, compare 300k = one hour of powerlvl in ongs in my server with 300k = 1/300 of 100M -> 100M buys for XX $$$$ euros -> That XX euros could get you 1/28 parts of one GOLD TICKET -> MEANS 3 HOURS WITH +100% exp, +100% sps....


Anybody have understand what I mean? doubt about that -.-''' But would be nice that one actually to the maths lol
