Double Standard, is it fair?

I find it hard to understand that people are actually excusing this. Because on this point I have not read a single good excuse. Economic differences?? What do you mean? Because some people are poor they get more for less money? That's not right, and never will be. 

 

I do understand this is an issue and if I didn't have that helmet on, there to the left of my post, I would certainly have written a lot more. Still feeling sad I can't turn avatars off, for some posts. Anyway, I hope this gets sorted out, because to me it seems that it is not.

first time ever it can be last time i agree with you! atleast you are fair here

Here's a small story for you all:

 

About a year ago we made a decision to keep crystal price same for all communities and payment systems. This was done by making some purchase methods slightly cheaper, others — slightly more expensive. It also meant that we would be paying all the commissions (and those can go up to 80% when paying with SMS).

 

This was done, and everyone was happy. But then BOOM, the Ukraine crisis came, a US dollar had been 35 rubles but then started falling and got down to 80 rubles for a USD. Things have got better since then but it's still about 50 rubles per USD.

 

So, here's the thing. Most games back then decided they don't want to lose profit and increased prices for RU players. We, on the other hand, did not do that because:

 

1. The ruble is still fluctuating and nobody knows when it will stop doing that.

2. We don't want players to suffer and pay 50% more for crystals than yesterday just because their government failed. They have nothing to do with this.

 

So, this difference in prices is the result of our decision not to raise RU prices.

 

I could endlessly go on about prices on consoles, Apple products, video games and many other things, which are different in US, Europe, UK and Russia, but this doesn't really matter.

 

What matters is that we see there's a problem. On the one hand, we don't want to make crystals more expensive in Russia because purchasing power of Russians hasn't increased a bit. It decreased in fact. On the other hand, we understand questions may arise when an EN player sees this difference. The top management will be discussing this issue soon. Whether they will make RU crystals more expensive, EN crystals cheaper or something else, I do not know. We'll see. And you'll find out about it shortly after they make the decision.
