Gem Math issue?

Rhyst

I noticed a discrepancy on percent bonus gems .... $9.99/Monthly = 480 gems (80% bonus) listed as 720 ... is my math wrong saying it should be 480+80%=864 gems ... if I am correct then each of the Higher priced ones are drastically OFF.... and should be rectified immediately

The math is correct. If you price out how many gems you'd get if you bought a bunch of the $5 packs or subscribed, you'd find you don't get a lot less gems. The bonus is added to the purchase/subscription to give additional gems, and a higher chance of putting a bunch of money down.

what is not mentioned is the base for each pack at what bonus is applied... it is not % applied to the lower pack.
480 = 400 base +20%
750 = 600 base +25%
1330 = 1000 base +33%
3200 = 2000 base +60%

Hope it clarifies ... and the % is mainly used as marketing strategy

yeah kinda.... so basically -20% and you see what you truly get. it's one of those Gray area's between False Advertising and a Miscommunication
