Why is it that this site still lists Kraken Club's average price at 80,000,000 when it hasn't been that way in ages?





Since I'm here, why is it when there are items listed individually and items listed as stacks, this site only shows the price for individuals for the stacks?



Okay. Now that the important questions have been asked, go ahead and derail this thread like I know somebody is going to.

It uses the average prices of both Kraken Club and Shellbuster to compute the true selling average.

it's the average across all servers, not the server you have chosen



It also wildly jumps innaccurately, I asked about it a while ago, but didn't pursue it.

7:32 am Kraken Club 510,500,000
7:38 am Kraken Club 90,000,000
7:40 am Kraken Club 80,000,000
8:00 am Kraken Club 76,569,551
8:20 am Kraken Club 99,999,999

Probably they measure avarage from all its data despite showing just last 20 entries.

Dont forget every server there is always some.idiots that sell and buy his own KC for 1g at some point, to purposelly skew avarage.

It's semi random, check back in 10 minutes itll be something different.

It like alternates between global average and server average, but based globally whoever refreshed last whichever server they have highlighted.

Because its not avg price. Its clearly stated it's Median.
Median is number in middle of the group of ordered numbers.

In group 1,2,3,4,100 Median is 3, while average is 22.
If you look on some servers when you can see whole list of sold KC (like Cerberus) you can easily see that it takes middle number after ordering numbers from lowest to highest. If there is no middle number, because the amount of numbers is even, then it takes avg of 2 middle numbers. For example on Titan there is ten KC prices in history.

Ordered from lowest we have:
10
10
10
10
10
37,458
884,967
25,000,000
41,000,000
50,000,000

So it takes 2 middle prices 10 and 37,458 and takes avg from them (10+37,458) / 2 = 18,734

Obviously presenting Median from several year of sold KCs has very low informative value for someone looking for its present price, but that is whole other story :P

Thanks for the clarification.

Also, it looks like this thread set up Bahamut.Celebrindal for his most liked post of all time. It's all downhill from here, buddy. Trust me. You'll never attain this high again and will spend the rest of your life chasing the dragon.
