Ok not to offend but your calculations are way off ....
quote:
Each of these armors cost $10, since 1000K varium is about $10. It costs $10 more dollars to enhance each armor fully, so double the price. The total revenue for selling a set of limited-time armors is $20,000.
Each armour is $10 yes.... But 10 x 500 = $5,000 x2 = $10,000 For selling both physical and resistance armours.
quote:
Since other weapons are similar in price, with certain weapons costing more and some less, multiply the $20,000 by four (armor, gun, primary, aux). This makes $80,000 per week, assuming 500 of each type of weapon is sold per week.
Well those prices are halved ^. So multiply $10,000 by four. Already reducing your estimated value to $2,080,000 p year
quote:
There are 52 weeks in a year, thus Epic Duel in one year makes:
But what you didn't factor in ... Limited quantity items aren't made every week. And I highly doubt 500 Varium guns / Auxs / Weapons are bought every week.
Really, we've had 4 varium limited time armours - Space warrior, Warbot, Banana Suit & Bunny Borg...
Space warrior was the first limited time armour and was released January 14th, 2011 its now about 5 months since that.
5/4 = Limited time armour every 1.25 months, Not every week.
______________________________________________________
So with limited quantity armours been made every 1.25 months = 9 Armours a year (Approximately)
9 x 1000 (Phys/Resistance) = 9,000 Armour sets.
Then the restocks which would be hard to estimate... We'll just say 200 Of each armour is restocked (100 phys / resistance)
9 x 200 = 1,800 Armour sets.
= 10,800 Armour sets...
So, 10,800 x $10 = $108,000 P/Year
+ Will throw in the ridiculously overestimated amount of 500 Sidearms/Aux's/Primarys been sold every week. -These figures are by the thread creator not me
(1,500 x 10) x 52 = $780,000 P/Year
= $888,000 P/Year, Not Millions
I'd Actually put the amount of Varium Guns/Aux's/Primarys been Maybe 100 Each week in a non-release week (If they're lucky)
(300 x10) x52 = $156,000 P/Year
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Factors you didn't count in
- These amounts are only bought when there is a Major release such as a Seasonal event. (Not even once a month)
- I am willing to put my gold fishes life on it, That nowhere near 500 varium Guns, Auxiliary, Primarys are bought during a week without a major update.
-Wages
-Costs of running the servers
-Time it takes for updates
-Updates that don't include any new items
