All orbs are multiplicative right now.
So for an example take a 1 billion cost upgrade. The 3% at two star reduction orb will reduce that cost to 970 million gold. The 8% at two star gold increase is better since 926 million gold multiplied by 1.08 is just over 1 billion. Yes a 8% decrease would be better and reduce it to 920 million gold needed. But the original post clearly stated that the suggested prices were less than the gold gain orbs boost.
In addition I would assume that the cost reduction would only work on upgrades. So things like your sacrifices would not be affected, along with other systems added into the game. If they were then you are talking about even more programming to take the orb into effect.
In summary we already have this suggestion implemented in the game. It's only slightly different, easier to program, and much better.
