    Did I miss something

    If anyone has read the Update6 patch notes it says:

    "•The value of five ducks is now one pig, however pigs will continue to be worth their weight in gold because you can make bacon out of them!"

    Turbine definitely got it right this time.

    Yes, you apparently missed the jokes they put in all previous patch notes

    This puts too much value on ducks I know it depends on breed but a duck weighs about 5kg while a pig weighs about 100kg so since a pig is worth its weight in gold a duck is worth 4x it's weight.

    Yeah but if a Pig Weighs heavier than a Duck, it MUST BE A WITCH

    Not true. In the US the price of Duck Foie Gras is about $300 per kilo. Crispy fried duck is about $14. The price of Bacon is about $5 per pound or about $12.50 per kilo. All the other parts of the pig probably work out to a few hundred dollars. So it balances out

    That's because a ducks back is about four times shorter than the average young pig that bacon comes from

    I believe most of them at least meant something. This looks like completely ridiculous nonsense.
    Many philosophical problems are caused by such things as the simple inability to shut up.
