The awesome thing here is that nobody needs that many wards. Even with sightstone you do not need 4+ wards every back. Sure if you do the math you get 8.3 gp/10 from the item but if you look at the cost of the item you are actually better off just BUYING WARDS in the beginning.

This and it's preceeding item only pay off if for sightstone:

You place 9-10 wards. 700 gold for the item compared to 9 wards costing 675 gold. At 2 wards per 3 min. That is between 13-15 min to pay for itself.

Ruby Sightstone. Add 8 wards to fully pay itself off for the cost of the ruby crystal and upgrade.

In addition, this item does not upgrade into anything at all so you are mainly using it for the wards. And nobody except support needs this many wards. If you build this item in another lane, sure you will be safe but you are probably just better off buying straight up wards if you need sight, or a ruby crystal if you need it.
