When you are talking about people running top 25/10, they have already set that time aside. so yes, as I said there are probably 5% of top 25 players, and 25% of top 10 players who are spending enough gems for time to come into the equation. You can argue those percentages, that's fine, they may be a little different. But doesn't change the fact that almost all members of these guilds have preplanned to spend a significant amount of time in war that weekend. But really, I'm not sure why you even included this paragraph as it doesn't really argue any of my points as I acknowledged that there is a time limit for a certain number of people.

Your first paragraph brings real life reasoning in to account, so your second paragraph should too. Lower return means nothing to someone who wants an armor badly.

You think with a mathematical and logical mind using reasoning. That's good in a game like this. Unfortunately, most don't. So while theoretically this makes perfect sense, it really does. In real life practice it's not applicable.

Yes, you have a degree from a Top 10 school, cool. You can still miss real life implications just as easily as the next, plus you have no idea who I am or what I do for a living :P

PS If you are spending 2500 gems for a top 25, you either just enjoy going overboard, which is awesome and your choice. Or you carried your guild, in which case that is fine, but you don't have to do that if everyone pulls their weight. :)
