Raptor Princess ALLOTEC INC 101	Posted - 2014.12.04 12:45:00 - [1] - Quote Is there any particular reason as to why those of us in the UK have to pay significantly more than players in the US for add-ins such as aurum? To buy 100k aurum costs a UK player almost 8% more than someone in the US. An elite pack costs over $25 more in pounds sterling. After waiting on the packs finally appearing in the EU store, and having worked out which I could buy, I'm really annoyed to find out that I also need to pay a premium to get them, which means I can't afford them.

They don't seem to want to bother with currency conversions between two or more countries. XD On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.

Partly, VAT (Value Added Tax) is 20% that is automatically added onto the cost of an item, so say you buy a CD, the manufacturer works out the cost plus profit margin but then also has to add on the 20% to cover VAT cost that the Gov takes from them. also the pound is pretty strong against the dollar so things in the U.S are 'cheaper' because of the good exhange rate but from a business end of things the prices set are about the same as other global companies, again though that is still down to the taxes n crap the UK government puts on our stuff Never argue with an idiot. they bring you down to their level and beat you through experience proud C-II bpo owner

It's to do with Sony. Sony hates NZers so they charge us more. They must hate you guys 8% more than the Americans. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

And a drastically self-destructive consumer culture, mixed with perceived self-dominance over global affairs, and turning blind eyes to major global issues until it begins to afflict us. But mostly cause we pay up. I Live for Tears
