> @gamerdruid said:> Whilst a price of 2 200 may be expensive for Russians, it does translate to approximately the same for other regions. It has been the case for a long time that international currency fluctuations make the game expensive, very expensive or extremely expensive for some countries/currencies in relation to average income where the income level is considered low for Western countries such as those in Europe or North America.> > EA have had this same issue many times and it is discussed here in general terms and in the terms you post of groups leaving. EA are aware of this, but stick with their policy.EAs stance makes zero sense, and is essentially filled by greed, especially in the current financial climate. What you're saying then is EA wanted a equal price for all, which on the face of it would seem to be fair. However, they've fixed that price at the highest end, and haven't found a happy medium. This is a sort of "Quantity over Quality" argument with "quality" relating to higher funds, which is absurd. It's clearly priced many out and you will see many people leave, or worse, people might have an addiction and spend beyond their means - similar to what we see in the gambling industry. In the times we're in - myself included - we haven't been able to go out, and a lot of people were on their own with little contact with others - this game gave a place for contact with people, and probably helped many people cope mentally whilst the pandemic was going on - many wouldn't recognize that. I've spoken to quite a few people in game who had returned after years out due to the pandemic, however they won't stick around long now. I don't think it's right that EA do this move in the current climate, it isn't ethical, and is sticking a finger up at many loyal customers with years of trade such as the Russian and South American communities. This is undoubtedly a profiteering move by EA, and it absolutely stinks. If they had any integrity, they would seek an average cost to make it affordable to those in the poorer areas, as well as it being affordable to those in better economies. Has there been any customer research on what is deemed a fair price? Was there any thought to record numbers of unemployment in many countries? A thousand players paying $10 is better than 100 paying $40. This seems extremely short sighted in the times. Just my view, I welcome thoughts of others on this.

We understand that EA is a company which has shareholders and business is business.However this isnt a wise business move, this sounds like the Thailand way of doing business.Less tourists? lets raise prices to cover what we lost. Thats stupid though because people will simply stay away.So for the shareholders this is a bad business move.15dollars was a reasonable price so everyone world-wide could play.South americans, Russians and Asians simply cant afford these prices and now with the pandemic most Europeans and Americans cant either.So whats the idea behind this?So why the final nail in the coffin @EE_Elephterion ?Removing Loot and RP from PvP was a retarded move and cost a boatload of players to leave.This will be the bullet to the head.We demand lower prices.My Team will not continue to play with these kind of prices.

You know it surprises me time after time that people with a reasonable intellect (I assume the top of EA-Origine have some) can come to these ridiculous decisions, cutting off their noses to spite their faces. I can understand that EA are not happy that players from all over the world buy at Argentine prices, but to set prices at US level for the whole world is the wrong move. Your volume will go down and in the end so will your profits, because players are buying more funds at the lower prices,lower cost of funds stimulates more playing.

maybe they refer to the argentinian "model", which sucks indeed and will reduce the player base much.

There has been an introductory offer in place for a while.

The UK price hasn't changed for either a new player 90 000 funds for £29.99 or a player purchasing for subsequent times 50 000 funds for £29.99

International currency fluctuations mean that the 'value' of these when compared to other currencies does change - for example today the 'value' of £29.99 is US $ 37.64 and US $ 40.99 is UK £32.66

They are comparable but not precisely the same. If I did the same comparison in 3 weeks time then I'd expect them to be different values for the same 'price'.

EA (who collect real cash) are based in the US so I'd expect the US price to be what they wish to get but they don't change the rates frequently to reflect the currency fluctuations.

So whats the 33% bonus about? It still appears to be 50k funds, at £29.99 - If that's 33% off then that has increased. £30 is far too expensive as it is.

The new prices will kill entire communities of players, as they are so large. Russian players will definitely not play anymore at this price. We have a minimum wage of 12,000, and a purchase price of 2,200, this is an unrealistic figure and let's not forget about the global crisis and pandemic.
