Olympus: Cheaper/Resource to buy 35% Resources than 50% Resources

I have a level 10 warehouse:



Which can hold 22,556 capacity.

On Olympus I get this:





So:

1. If I purchase 35% of my warehouse, I get 7,894 stone for 50 gems = 158 resource/gem;
   
2. If I purchase 50% of my warehouse, I get 11,278 stone for 85 gems = 133 resource/gem.
   

(It should only cost 71 gems to buy the 50% warehouse size of 11,278, to be the same deal of 158 resources/gem)

BUG: There is something odd with gem prices for resources with low level warehouse.

As far as I know, for higher level warehouse, the price is a consistent 300 resources/gem (i.e.: better deal; but not as extravagant a deal as it used to be, where you could get like 702 resources/gem with level 21 warehouse).

I'm really not sure what the correct values for a level 10 warehouse should be; but until the above is changed its better to buy the 35% deal than the 50% deal with a level 10 warehouse.

For a previous bug please see: Gems gold cost (Part I)

At level 9, 50 gems = 112.78 resources per gem. 85 gems = 94.77. I have a sneaking suspicion it has been like this for all warehouses thus far.

For low level warehouses, quite possibly.

I'm pretty sure at a high enough level warehouse, it will cap at a maximum of 300 resources/gem (instead of without the cap ... being like 702 resources/gem for level 21 warehouse, which it used to be).

And when it does cap, then both 35% & 50% will cap at 300 resources/gem.

Update: Level 11 warehouse:

1. 50% deal is 179 resource/gem;
   
2. 35% deal is 213 resources/gem.

I really hope the devs figure out that most of us are not dumb. Getting the feeling that your being short changed, and then doing the math to figure it out that in fact we are getting short changed.

IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE.

We haven't changed a thing to the calculation of resource/gem. What is valid for Erevos, is valid for Olympus as well.

There is a min. cost for resources and then it goes up according to the amount of resources with a cap of 300 resources/Gem (wood,stone,iron) and less for gold.

The amount of resources is shown and the cost in Gems is shown as well. No hidden calculations there.

It is not the devs fault I am slow.

My bad. I will shut up now...

Agreed that:

1. Its the same for Erevos & Olympus;
   
2. Has not changed recentenly;
   
3. The cap of 300 for wood,stone,iron (which hits at level 13 warehouse);
   
4. There are no hidden calculations.
   

The bug being reported is that for level 1 to level 11 Warehouse (for wood,stone,iron):

1. Purchasing 5% (of warehouse size) costs 20 gems - this 4 gems per 1%;
   
2. Purchasing 15% (of warehouse size) costs 30 gems - this is 2 gems per 1%.  This is a way better deal than 5%;
   
3. Purchasing 35% (of warehouse size) costs 50 gems - this is 1.4 gems per 1%.  This is a way better deal than 15%;
   
4. Purchasing 50% (of warehouse size) costs 85 gems - this is 1.7 gems per 1%.  This is a worse deal than 35%.
   

Based on cost/resource, you should be getting at least 59.5% of warehouse size for the 85 gems (to make it at least equal to the 35% offer of 1.7 gems per 1%).

The user will never want to pay 1.7 gems per 1% (the 50% offer); when they can get a better deal of 1.4 gems per 1% (the 35% offer).
