"PaysafeCard" worth 40% less; why?

[PopChaser 60]

Occasionally I think about buying crystals again, but  the system is very discouraging.  In April 2014 the "PaysafeCard" prepaid card suddenly bought fewer crystals than the others.  I was told at the time to hold onto the card and that would be corrected.  Instead, the penalty increased.  Eventually I had to spend the card because I had held it a year and the issuer was about to charge a fee.  The very large penalty still applies.

 

WHY?

 

I hesitate to use any credit card for a transaction in Russia because both times I have made purchases there, not with Tanki, the  number has been stolen.

It's because of the game's economy.

^True.

[PopChaser 60]

It's because of the game's economy.

The question is "Why does PaysafeCard give many fewer crystals than any other method of payment".  That is not due to the game's economy.

 

Every time I have asked this question I have only gotten responses from people who do not know anything about it.

Can you tell me which payment methods you've compared it with?

Prepaid cards-

 

1)  OneCard [not available in USA]        $99.99         =  143,000  +  215,000 bonus

 

2)  OpenBucks                                    $99.99         =  143,000  + 115,000 bonus

 

3)  PaySafeCard                                  $99.99         =  142,986  + 115,000 bonus

 

Credit card-

 

1)  Visa                                               $99.99        =   143,000 + 215,000 bonus            +  seven days premium account

 

2)  American Express                           $99.99       =  143,000  +  215,000 bonus

I've listed a few payment methods under the spoiler. As you can see, the price is the same for all these methods.

If you want buy crystals cheaper then press on Russia location and use credit card. No one will steal anything from you, I have bought few times also, it's all safe and way cheaper than when you buy from other locations.

For example buying crystals from other location you pay 30 euro for this package:

 

While in Russia location you pay 1199 rubles which is about 16 euro + you get bigger bonus in package.

So I am in Pakistan, if I buy crystals by changing location to Russia, is it safe? 

[SprayGround 2,851]

It would be same as if you buy from your own location, it's safe.
I'm not in Russia also still I could buy and all was fine.

You will have to tell me how to get to Euros or Rubles, because I cannot find a way.

Thank you very much indeed.  I am still curious as to why the PaySafeCard is so heavily discounted, but that is no longer important.
