Subject: Predicted Amount of time Before Bags are Sold Out.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

Here's my reasoning:

There were 500 bags before, and they were all sold in about an hour. Now, there's 150 bags. So I compared the fractions, and determined a rough estimate:

All bags will be sold out in 6 minutes and 17 seconds.

This is my projected answer.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Yep, sounds right.

Maybe even quicker.

I am thinking of all the thousands of people clicking buy at once.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Do you really think thousands of people who know about it have no lives and will be on patiently waiting?

yes I do, our community is huge.

And, I am sure there are people from other websites like 343i waiting to buy swag sacks.

And, unfortunately, people trying to make money buy buying a bag and selling it.

Oh, and lets take off a few seconds due to a-holes buying multiple bags. That really pisses me off.

If thousands were waiting the 350 before hand would not have lasted 10 minites, yes our community is huge but only a small percentage have the money, time, patience, big enough fan to want one and are okay with there shipping costs.

It will go fast but not as fast as your saying.

And I want to shoot anyone who is getting or has gotten more than one, I'm only getting one, they should to, theres no excuse.

But remember, when it went up, only a few of us knew and in an hour we almost bought the entire stock of swag sacks.

Now, Imagine with Everyone knowing, at the exact date and time.

You are missing something with your prediction. You have to think that the previous one took about 1 hour with more people going for it than there is now.

Saying this "community is huge" by expecting thousands of people to show up for this is way off. A lot of people on here have many alts, lives, jobs, and those who just don't have the money to spend. Then you have to minus the people who just get on this website to troll.

I know for a fact the op's and your prediction is wrong.

People caught on very quick. It only takes a 10 second read on the forums to figure it out.

Maybe you are right but I know the bags will sell out fast this time.

Now that many people know they will be F5ing Bungie store like hawks and people will buy multiples.

Anybody consider that it's going so slowly because we are all trying to access it and it's not even supposed to be public yet?

Also, if that is the case, it means it's also slowing down for the employee...he's probably going to just get up and go to Outback for a nice Bloomin Onion and we're gonna all be left sitting here wondering what the heck just happened to our mystery man

Zero seconds.

Dude, I have the money, I have the fan inside me, I am going to buy two bags.

Please don't senselessly hate simply because people buy more than one.

Selfishness, a fellow fan will be robbed of his/her chance because you got greedy.

But you are being greedy becuase you want a swag sack and not want others to have one. -_-

Also, I am sure if someone had the choice of 2 swag sacks opposed to one, they WILL buy 2.
