False advertising on crown packs - PC USD

The USD rates aren't very proportional to the increment in crowns.

More importantly, the crown purchase main display page (https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/buycrowns) has 21000 marked as best value; clearly it not. In fact, if you look at the decimal figures, 14000 is the best.

Crowns          Cost         Crowns/$
====================================================
750               $7.99        94 
1500           $14.99        100      = +6
3000           $24.99        120      = +20
5500           $39.99        138      = +18??
14000         $99.99        140      = +2 !?!?
21000       $149.99        140      <- um... no discount eh? nice try... 

Here's any idea... why not just give a 10% bump on each quantity increase? You may yet get me to invest in some crown crates if you drop the price enough!

Give this pricing model a shot. :)

$7.49
$13.99
$24.99
$39.99
$94.99
$129.99

    If we're going to amend the prices, can we please just charge that extra 1p.

    If only marketing would allow it. I can hear them cringe right now. If they manage to do that though, we should have them fight to get rid of our 9/10th gas tax. :)

    Sadly I believe that their idea was not to give these new bigger packs a financial advantage (with regard to crown/curreny ratio) but only to make purchases of bigger amounts of crowns easier and faster. So only QoL improvement.

    I have a simpler solution.

    @ Checkout

    Quantity: [1,2,3,4,5]

    I know that just flew right over their dev's heads.

    But it's reflected that way in GBP when I checked. You got more crowns per pound with the bigger packs.
    Unless my maths was off (which I won't discount as I suck at it).
