I got one in game, opened and followed the link to see the available packages above 30€. I could buy 180 days of premium for 41.22 euros and some tank bundles. Out of curiosity, and because I thought they were still a bit expensive for a 1/5th discount I checked how much I'd have to pay for the same number of premium days if I was to purchase 13500 gold directly in game. Here are the numbers:
- Any amount of gold (13500 gold) – 41.19€
- "Crate of Gold" (14500 gold) – 43.61€, assuming my math is right, 13500 gold at this price would be 40.60€
- Price of 180 days of premium with the "20% discount" – 41.22€
As you can tell, the price does not only match the price if you were to buy gold without the discount, it even exceeds it. So here I am, asking WG. Are you really trying to scam your playerbase who probably don't keep their eyes open? I first noticed it at the Caernarvon AX. I was wondering how much it'd cost if I was to buy it with gold in game. What is this, if not an obvious bait?
Before all of you come rushing at me saying "you need to activate it" and such, I spent half an hour looking at my browser trying to see if I could activate it. I saw nothing but a coupon sign next to the packages and no, if it's possible to activate it, it shouldn't be THIS hard to find. They purposely designed it this way.
Here are the screenshots of proof: (Disclaimer: local currency was changed to Euros for easier understanding using google itself. Numbers above are correct and were double checked.)
