Vengeance Obsidian pack priced down

[quote=“Mercy;170048”]I’d be curious to know some prices in the in-game store for Europeans to see how badly some of you are being screwed.

For example, the 10 pack of Elite Cases for Canada is 38CAD, and US has to pay 35$. So I’m having to pay the equivalent of 5$ more than I should. I’d be scared to know how bad it is for Europeans. You guys are probably getting fisted.[/quote]

38CAD converted to usd is $29.65 Which means we’re paying more than we’re suppose to you’re getting a 5 dollar discount. We should be paying 29.65 to be at your 38 cad but we pay $35 for the 10 cases as where you pay the equivalent of 29.65

But US pays 35$, not 29.65$ like we should, that’s my point. 35.00 USD = 44.86 CAD.

Canadians are getting the 5 dollar discount. :slight_smile:

@Kelben Now your paying $5 dollars more and $10 dollars more than Canadia

[quote=“Mercy;170041”]If I recall, SD in the past with price tags has had an unfair track record for other countries. Like something will be 15 bucks across the board regardless of conversion rates.

For example, 15£ and 15$ are not the same: 15£ is 21$ in US, but US is just charged 15 which means we pay the equivalent of 4£ less with proper conversion rates.

This tends to mean certain countries will pay more than others for the same product. This isn’t the first time they’ve done this. I just assumed it was a cash grab tactic that flew under the radar a lot, taking advantage of other countries by not imploring fair conversion rates.[/quote]

I was incredibly vocal about the whole currency conversion differences when elite cases first appeared - the complaint never really got any traction with the community and, as you can expect, Nexon and SD didn’t weigh in whenever I brought it up here or on streams. Paying in £s just makes the already overpriced stuff even worse.

Yeah and your paying 38 cad which is only 29.65 in usd but we pay 35 usd for the same thing you pay 29.65 usd. Which means you do get a 5 dollar discount. I feel like you dont understand what im saying because you just basically said what i did just did the opposite to get the same conclusion

(Sinee) #47

It’s really not fair to you guys. I know it’s ethically wrong on SD’s part to charge more for one group of people than the other for the same thing, but is it legally wrong? No idea on the legalities of it, but it seems as if it should be common place in fair business to implement proper equal conversion rates for all your customers…

I’m surprised the community didn’t get in on it. Canadians for example, pay massively less than say, the UKers. I’d mutiny. lmao

(Kiyoshi) #48

@Mercy Youd be paying 50 cad for the 10 elite cases if you were in europe

(neverplayseriou) #49

the entire of western europe is (always) way more expensive than other parts of the world for as far as I know.

We’re not paying 38CAD. We’re paying 44.86CAD. Can’t really be clearer on the math with you, hun.

10 pack of Elite Cases for USD is 35$USD. 35$USD = 44.86CAD.

Canada pays 38CAD.

44.86CAD - 38CAD = 6.86CAD.

6.86CAD = 5.35$USD

Just to clarify again: You pay 38 I pay 45. That’s pretty much it.

wow…by this logic we are poor east European scum ^^[/quote]

But at least you Eastern Europeans make good money off items stolen in Western Europe.[/quote]

son, before you make comments like this, think twice next time.[/quote]

Or? :trollface:

Canada pays 38CAD. We pay 35$ which is 44.86CAD.

I think you got confused because Canada uses dollar signs like US. US has to pay 35$ as in dollars, USD.

Canadians are paying 37.99$CAD for 10 cases pack. That’s 29.64$USD.

Americans are paying 35$USD for 10 cases pack. That’s 44.86$CAD. Americans are getting screwed by more than 5$USD because 6.86$CAD = 5.35$USD.

5$ = 1 case. Therefore Americans are losing 1 case everytime they spend 35$ on a 10 case pack compared to Canadians.

Europeans are paying 34.99 euros for 10 cases pack. That’s 50.61$ Canadian and 39.48$ US. Canadians are paying 12.62$CAD (9.85$USD) less for their pack and the US is paying 4.48$USD less for theirs. Remember, US are already getting screwed compared to Canadians by 5.35$USD. So if you add 5.35$USD with 4.48$USD you come up to ~9.85$USD which is 12.62$CAD.

Now… The Brits. You guys…

I don’t know how much your packs are. But if it’s like everyone elses here than it should be something around 34.99 pounds. Oh… boy.

So if you guys are paying 34.99 pounds for a 10 cases pack… that’s 63.69$CAD, 49.69$USD and 43.96 euros. Canadians are paying 25.70$CAD (20.05$USD) less, Americans are paying 14.69$USD less and the Europeans are paying 8.97 euros (10.12$USD) less.

It was for 12e in Poland from the beginning. Seems like we’re poor here and you’re rich there ; )
Ok, but let’s be serious - I don’t know why they lowered it now for you, but I know why prices were different. We don’t use Euro here and the exchange rate is making all things sold in euro very expensive. So it’s wiser for them to lower prices, so more people will buy their products. When you take an avarage polish salary and exchange it for euro, you may think we really don’t earn much money here. But, from the other hand, everything in Poland is much more cheaper. So it’s not simply “they are poor, let them have it cheap”, but “they won’t pay so much euro for this, we need to lower the price in order to sell anything”. If you want to consider it “plain discrimination”, well, think what you want. But this is a currency issue.

I tend to just accept it’s the world getting their own back on the UK for centuries of tyranny. :mrgreen:

It is amusing to me that Splash are based in London, you’d think they’d be the ones telling Nexon the pricing is funky for the EU lot.
