 I've been trying to wrap my head around the amount of gems being spent by the top 10 guilds. It all boils down to how many points per single attack are the top guild guys making?

 I'm level 60 (no epic) and I'm usually happy to get 250 pts per attack. But I have no idea of the magnitude of points per attack the top guild guys are making. Is it 500, 750? I have no clue, but I would love it if anyone has an answer.

 With that been said, let’s have a little fun with some math; To average a score of 250,000 points per battle (which is the current trend of the #10 spot on the GW leaderboard), at 500 points per attack, that would be 500 attacks split between 40 members... if everyone shows up. So 12,5 attacks per player.

 250,000 pts / 500 pts per attack = 500 attacks

 500 attacks / 40 players = 12.5 attacks per player

 We all know you can get up to 6 free attacks per battle, but at the rate which the top 10 guilds are fighting, there's nowhere near enough time for their energy to refill to 4. So let's use 3 free attacks per battle (30 min break between 2 battles), that leaves 9.5 attacks purchased with gems. At 4 extra attacks for 10 gems, you get an average gem spending of 23.75 gems per player, per battle.

 12.5 - 3 = 9.5 attacks

 (9.5 / 4) x 10 = 23.75 gems (per player, per battle)

 So if we’re looking at a guild conducting 48 battles in a 72 hours guild war, we end up with a total gem spending of;

 23.75 gems x 40 players = 950 gems spent per battle

 950 gems x 48 battles = 45,600 gems spent during the Guild War

 The best discounted price I saw during gem sales is 800 gems for 79.99$, (10 cent per gem). Using this value you get;

 45,600 gems x 0.10$ = 4560$

 Keep in mind I've used an hypothetical scenario of 100% participation at every event, and deliberately chosen not to take into account losing attacks (i.e., failing to beat an opponent). While these scenario are mathematically possible, the reality is probably a little different. So let’s round up the numbers and say it cost a minimum of 5000$ to crack the top 10…

 Does this look like a probable price tag?
