Gold multipliers were wrongly applied in Community Day. Here is what happened. [Math Inside]

@brwolf1806
During Gold & Glory, with a R5 flag and the gold rush hour, you can sell a 10k item at reaper's hideout for 75,000. So I assume, if there's a problem with caps on items being sold, it would be that the base cost of an item can't exceed 45,000 gold. The problem is, a cooked Trophy Shadow Stormfish, during gold rush hour and Gold & Glory, would be worth 50,625, and a Box of Wondrous Secrets, with the same buffs, would be worth 75,000. So, these costs would (or should) be expected to be foreseen by the devs ever since Gold & Glory became a thing.
I would say that there is specifically a problem with how the community day multiplier works.

@grumpyw01f Exaclty, I also think this is the problem, since when applying a 3x and 1.5x multiplier to 10k items, it gives us exaclty 45k. And yes, this math does not include the emissary bonuses, since it does not increase the base value itself.

@callmebackdraft I was editing a reply to my post and you helped me here: After seeing some recordings of my friend buying gold from Larinna, we did receive 52k gold, but this was not the same value for the Ashen Winds Skull.

My buyings from Larinna bugged and showed me no value on the upper right side of the screen when buying it, and I did the wrong math there, but when selling the skulls I got the 45k base value (no emissary included).

@callmebackdraft Oh, and I also made sure to sell it after the event tab reached the max value. The thing is that when I sold it, I made sure that the event was maxed out when I pressed tab and went into the event tab, but SoT twitter or discord announced the max level of the event only a few hours after the event tab reached the max level, so I don't know if the max level was applied or not. The in-game tab was maxed, but it was not announced in any SoT socials yet.

@callmebackdraft I did some checking on their socials. The Gold Rush Hour that I used to sell my skulls happened 7 hours after the event begun, and I made sure the ingame event tab was maxed, and it was. But SoT socials only announced the max level of the event after 12 hours and 50 minutes after the event begun. The fourth level was announced in their socials before the Gold Rush Hour happened.

I think this is what happened here: The level was reached but it was not automatically applied, and since they had a lot of issues with servers, this was delayed a bit and was only applied a few hours after it really hit the max level. The ingame tab was checking the twitter hashtags in real time, but the increase in multiplier was not happening in real time, it needed to be increased by someone manually after the twitter goal was hit. And a plus: If I do the math with 3x (which is probably the fourth level of Community Day), it turns out to be the value that I received.
