They haven't been discounted for a couple years now. Last year they were discounted at 10m was 2021, while 2022 they were 15m, with an announcement that I'm not finding that that was the last year for any discount. Here's a long discussion from 2022 though...
SeraphimKensai Posted December 9 Posted December 9 I agree it is sad. I used to buy like 200 them or so, open them up, and then wait 6 months to sell off the Winter IOs I didn't need for a profit. 1
Snarky Posted December 9 Posted December 9 7 hours ago, Snakyta said: Ok, thanks for those answers 🙂 Sad by the way... People who have (literally) Trillions would buy thousands of these. Then either relist the packs once the discount went away or opened them and sold the goodies inside. It created more wealth for people who do not need it. I would be interested in offering something to players of a discount on these…based on how many ??? You did in a year? Vet levels are out (farmers), time logged on is out … (farmers and afk badgers). Maybe badges you collect in a year (by acct) with every hundred badges netting a discount on 1 winter pack? 1 1
FrauleinMental Posted December 9 Posted December 9 I wouldn't mind them being permanently at 10M like the other packs, but I don't know what secondary effects this might have on the market except a potential crash in Winter-O prices toward ATO prices. (And maybe that'd be balanced anyway, since each can be bought for 100 Merits.) I can imagine some of the major players on the Marketing threads hating this idea. When the devs announced there'd be no further discounts, they seemed well aware that people were making bank off of the price swing. I did buy a few hundred of them the last time they went on sale and, between opening some packs and reselling some packs unopened after the sale, I made a few billion inf. Enough that I don't really have to worry about inf, but not enough to be a major player. 1

BlackSpectre Posted December 10 Posted December 10 They could also give every player a coupon for a certain number of WOs at discounted prices. That would stay in the holiday spirit and preserve balance. 1 Black Spectre - A Dark Defender's Home on the Web • The Advanced Bind Guide • The Masters of BAF: A Guide for Leaders and Players • The Wiki List of Slash Commands

"Lords of Winter is the third Super Pack set, released as part of Issue 25.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Gerswin Posted December 10 Posted December 10 I think it would be much less susceptible to manipulation and undesirable farming practices(shadow accounts, etc) if the winter ATOs were just made into very rare drops when doing winter content, similar to that of purple recipes. 2 2 1 1

No need. You can buy the with merits. 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

Only the standard versions, not the superior versions. Come again? Since when?! You can buy catalysts with merits too. Use a catalyst on the enhancement and you have a superior. All through just merits. Edited December 11 by Rudra Edited to add missing "buy". 2
Super Atom Posted December 11 Posted December 11 Could always give away 1 or 2 packs for getting all the badges. 200 presents clicked badge? 1 winter pack. It's not exploitable because in the time it takes you to click 200 packs, you could have bought more than 1 by just doing content. Killed trial WL? 10%ish chance for a winter pack. 🤷♀️ Aethers are fine every year to hand out by the thousands why not winters? 1 1
FrauleinMental Posted December 11 Posted December 11 8 hours ago, TheMoneyMaker said: Only the standard versions, not the superior versions. The superior versions don't drop out of packs anyway. You still have to slot and catalyze them unless you buy them from the AH. 1
TheMoneyMaker Posted December 11 Posted December 11 (edited) Right, the superior versions don't drop. But maybe make those the reward. Sure you can get there with catalysts, but that doesn't preclude them from being offered as a possible reward for something else. Edited December 11 by TheMoneyMaker 1 1

We are back to them being able to be purchased them with merits. If you want a purple, slot it at level 50 and catalyze it. That is if you don't want to buy them from the market. 4 hours ago, TheMoneyMaker said: But maybe make those the reward. Sure you can get there with catalysts, but that doesn't preclude them from being offered as a possible reward for something else. Nothing precludes anything from being a reward for anything. I don't think that the DEVs need to work to provide the reward through another method. We disagree. That's fine. 2 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.
