I was reading this weeks anouncement, and from now on the subscribers point giveaway has been increased from 1050 a day to 19500. That's a huge number of extra points being pumped into the system, so will almost definitely make points price fall.
Seems like a nerf to museums for no reason. Did museums need a debuff?
Maybe, but the price of points has been pretty low anyway according to the graphs. And any way you cut it, if supply increases while demand stays the same, the price drops.
There's a daily point lottery for subscribers. It used to be first place gets 500, second place 250, third fourth and fifth get 100. Now its 10k/5k/2.5k/1k/1k or something like that.
Random is a bitch isn't it? it's almost like there is absolutely no mathematical formula that guarantees you a win which can't be true because everyone knows that million to one chances happen nine times out of ten, I mean it stands to reason

One of those heartbreaking moments, don't you wish you had won a couple days later? :(
A while back, I timed plushie refills (2500 per) to close to a 2 hour cycle. Thats 30,000 sets per day of plushies being purchased which is 300,000 points per day just from plushies. Assuming flowers are close to the same, which would be a 6 hour cycle time (7500k per), thats 600,000 points/day created from travel items. Even without including the points from history item trade-ins, the 18k point increase is only about a 3% increase in supply.
There are a lot of assumptions built into that but unless I am off by an entire order of magnitude, I dont see it making a big difference
