Heroes for Sale? / Ability to Purchase/Buy Heroes

[lexinen]

In a previous thread, it was calculated that directly buying a specific classic 5* hero would need to cost more than 40000 gems to be revenue-neutral for SG:

I,m Angry

The short answer is no, it likely wouldn’t be better. I can’t imagine SG implementing a change that would reduce their revenue (investors don’t like that), so let’s assume they put each of the classic 5* heroes up for sale in the shop at a revenue-neutral price. What should that price be? Since the elemental summon gives you the best probability of getting a specific classic 5* hero (2.5% for 5*, then 25% within that 2.5% for a specific hero since there are 4 classic 5* heroes per element), …

I would imagine that event/Atlantis/HOTM would need to be more than that. So unfortunately, I don’t think this would ever happen unless SG were desperate for money.
