Salami slicing refers to a series of many small actions, often performed by clandestine means, that as an accumulated whole produces a much larger action or result that would be difficult or un<edit> to perform all at once. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salami_slicing



In Guild Wars 2, you can currently spend all gems purchased, as long as they are in multiples of 10.



If you have a number lesser than 10, then you have to purchase more gems to equal that number out to 10.  This is due to the change made in the Halloween/Gemgate Update.

The cost of a single gem is:  $10 / 800 = $0.0125



For those who dislike math:

# of Gems = Real Money Cost

1 = $0.0125

2 = $0.025

3 = $0.0375

4 = $0.05

5 = $0.0625

6 = $0.075

7 = $0.0875

8 = $0.10

9 = $0.1125

Hypothetically, if GW2 has 1 million players spending at least $10 a month on the game, and if they have 9 left over gems per each of those months, then The Master of Salami Slicings income is $112,500.



Is this a moral dilemma?  Or is this to be considered a tip, as in the waitress at Ruby Tuesday getting $0.1125 from the million customers she serves per month.



I find the numbers interesting.  As a matter of fact, Id even go as far to say that this is a really nice Office Space reference/Easter Egg found with in GW2, currently.
