Huh? Respectfully, I don't read it that way. That math doesn't make sense to me. I must be missing something. My understanding is that the 1.5x multiplier is on in-game achievements only, a very minor portion of the PP pool. Bonuses on PP purchases are TBD but are likely to be much smaller - along the lines of waiting for the monthly discount windows that usually start in June. That's just an assumption on my part, but I don't see it as a big deal.
In any case, I am retired on fixed income and definitely not a whale. I am competitive and hope to reach Diamond Level each year. In other words, I have a limited budget and I prefer having options of where to allocate that budget.
I will gladly pay for a PT+ subscription that has a positive EV, which packs definitely do not. Based on past years, except for the beginning of the cycle, packs have a negative EV and decline even further over time.
Once PT+ has a negative return, then I will drop that as well. Meanwhile, I anticipate that it will make the game more fun and interesting. Time will tell.
