Background: With the sale approaching, tiered pricing made timing matter. The first tier's price was known, but no one in the community could predict how many buyers would arrive at once.
Today: The same question circulated all day: would the first tier—3,000 keys at USD 300 each—be bought up almost instantly on sale day? Some wanted an answer before deciding whether to be ready at the opening moment; others cautioned against treating a guess as a guarantee. No one could answer, including the official team.
Impact and next steps: The rules were fixed; buyers' behavior was not. The discussion produced no reliable estimate of how fast the tier would sell, but it made the choice clearer: prepare for the lower price if it matters, while accepting that a first-tier key might still be out of reach.
