Significant decrease in Materials from Gathering Favors - Patch 3.07

[Aeyis]

I'd like to see your source where "increased by" strictly means "to add" because if you say something has "increased by three times" does that mean you're adding three times to it? no, it means you multiply it by three.

Uhm............
In English classes? In school? I mean this is really, really, basic (? or intermediar?) English. How exactly does one argue the rules of a language? Why would someone argue the rules of a language?

The math was never the issue here; the only thing in question is how the English translated into Math, thus a language barrier. (the true meaning of "increased by")
Perhaps you are the one who was truly confused all along?

Are sure about that? Because I don't need to use external links to prove basic math. And math was my weakest class in college.

completely unnecessary.

This entire discussion is unnecessary. But I tried to find an explaination anyway, on how it's possible that people would argue basic math or English.


Honestly, not sure what people are trying to prove by arguing this. It's not you will die from shame by realising you made an error or misunderstood a language for a moment.

The JP version 従来の3倍に引き上げられます, if I read it correctly, says the drop rate has been increased to 3 times of what it was. So if it was 10% rate before, now it is 30% rate.

This thread has me doubting my English and Japanese. :x

Originally 10.
Increased to 300% = tripled = now 30.
Increased by 300% = now 40.

Understandable! Almost has me doubting my English as well. And that's quite impressive. But it's really just as simple as you say.
