Game Mechanics: funny math

[Aadill]

Gasoline analogy: It is advertised as 2.569 but when you buy, say, 9 gallons of gas, it is $23.121. You pay $23.12 or $23.13 depending on the rounding method (closest to zero or next highest whole number).

The game is displaying whole number values only. You are receiving 4.65c per arrowhead but you're probably going to see 5c returned to you, as it is being rounded. In another instance you may see 4s but it's only giving you 3s 9c because it's possibly 3.93s. It's not funny math, it's just basic rounding.

Keep in mind that modifiers exist (CHA, faction) that are adjusting those values, as well. I don't know if it's a % modifier but it would explain the fractions of copper and silver. In the end, however, it's pocket change. Over the course of actively playing on this server for a year you *may* waste a few plat depending on the over/under rounding. If it does bother you, though, like you said, just use CTRL when you sell.

I understand that, but what I guess i'm getting at is, the client and server are calculating two different numbers.

On live same combine 4c per sale sold stack message said I recieved 8s and I recieved 8s.

if the client is rounding the number 4.65 or 5.34 to 5c why can't the server also do that so when it says you have recieved 1g you get 1g not 9s3c or 1g5c.

There has to be a way to make the server do the same calcualtion as the client. I dont care that its giving me 9s3c but it should say i'm getting 9s3c.

Maybe it does both calculations client side and its just the way it is.. you know how soe is..

Either way its not that big of a deal, and I did not need the mathmatics education. I had learned basic rounding 28 years ago.

This is a bug report forum, I reported a bug on selling that did not come up on forum search. Any way you slice it "you have received 1 gold from merchant X" does not equal 1gold 5copper or 9 silver 3 copper
