I’m more curious if the items that you can buy with silver are the same for everyone . It always seem that I’m always that one purchase short from the silver needed to purchase the next item . Almost like the algorithm is calculating it out ahead of time

  • It’s the same for everyone. Being just short of an item is by design. The prices are put in a way where you can’t buy a pack of Silver that gives you exactly the cost of an item. This way, you always buy more, which means you always have some left over, thus you’ll always be just short of the next item. It encourages people to buy more Silver as otherwise they can’t use the small amount they have left. This is a big reason why so many game storefronts use a fictional middleman currency like Silver instead of the simple idea of just using plain money so that you have less control over how much you spend and how much you have left over.

    So true. That’s one reason why I never bought silver.
