And it has nothing to do with the devs trying to squeeze as much money from players as they can, that is their motive. You can fool the kids and the gullible, but the actual intelligent players among us no why it's being extended. GREED.   

lol, if you can wait ou wait, if you can't, that is the player problem. So Greed versus Impatience.

The prolonged early access for Hopper is only suitable for buyers. Since I am not a buyer, I cannot buy this hull. My only option to get Hopper for free would be to open ultra containers or buy it for crystals from the garage.

Tanki is a game designed to make money for Alternativa.

The Bundle is reasoanble; if you want to have the Hull before others and have the money, buy it; if not, just wait 2 or 3 more weeks. If you disagree with this practice, then you should also be protesting the "free market" system.

Remember that the bundle also includes 100 Ultra Cons and 2 Augs.

Notice that with this topic Tanki is clarifying that this is just for an early access to get the hull, which means that soon everyone will be able to buy the hull in the Garage. Buyers should know by now what they are doing.

The bundle is reasonable, omg how many of you are there in la la land, the numbers seem to be growing daily.

I would like you to take a look on something called Big Mac index.

It may help you to understand the price difference.

"the opportunity to rip us off" Are you serious? Just don't buy it if you do not want to check it earlier than others... 

I expect that response from you, as you have to back up Tanki Management, as they are your employers. 

If some players want to waste their money it is up to them. I have seen the comments and the majority are not happy. I used to be a buyer and noticed the game was becoming more and more of a rip off. From addiction playing hours, I now play for 30 minutes to 60 minutes max per day just completing the daily missions. I no longer pay any money into the game. 

There are many other players feel the same. 

If the game is going to last, there needs to be changes. Good start charge €40 for Hopper bundle, which they charging the Russians.

I have a better Idea for you, don t buy anything. Wait for it to be in the garage. Then buy if. Same for the Resistance but wait for halloween discount.

40$ in Russia is different from 40$ in USA. In usa with 40 dollars you can by 40 big mac, in Russia half less 21 big mac.

There are still financial country barrier and local rules and taxes. Local money strength count, unless we are one big country with one rule yes that would be globalisation. Even so look at United state of America with its federal structure, each state has its own specificity so one USA and 50 different rules (so let me laugh loudly, dude).

Yeah right. Let the global players produce in countries where wages are low and sell where they can charge high prices, but if I as a consumer want to do the same, you're laughing.

Sorry you will have to rephrase that, I don't get your point.
Are you unhappy because they charge 40$ in mother Russian and 120$ in your country? or that 120$ is too expensive in your country? And in that case does 40$ aslo too expensive in your country?
And yes price is higher in rich countries, even in one town depending on where you live (poor or rich are) you won't be charge the same buy a builder company (and there is not transaction fee involved).

That is why it makes total sense to earn your money where the value is strong and spend it where it's weak. Why else would people commute to work in the city but not live there, you think?

Globalization means the speedup of movements and exchanges (of human beings, goods, and services, capital, technologies or cultural practices) all over the planet. One of the effects of globalization is that it promotes and increases interactions between different regions and populations around the globe. So you can have one tanki bundle available everywhere but globalisation doesn't mean that you pay the same price depending on where you are. With time the difference in cost might reduces, but with the law of offer and demand and local finance regulation compliance.
So you might consider to move/commute to Russian to get the bundle cheaper? As this is not going to happen, TO will still charge you more (even with the taxes and fees excluded).

But why is it only russia pays less? A lot of countries in Europe are poor but people from these countries also have to pay 140 euro for the bundle. And other asian countries too. Only russia gets cheaper prices.

For 3 main reasons:

- because they pay in rubble, the money where Alternativa is located, so there is no transfer fee charges and conversion ratio.
- the level of the economy is lower compared to other (remember how many big mac you get).
- it is a russian game, I expect them to nicer to them, and other Russian speaking countries to a lesser extent.

With the 2 first there is already a factor of 2 (see the bigmac index) compared to euro. The last one, can only be a guess, but it should not blind you about the 2 first.

If you enter a shop, you can still exist without buying anything if you find it too expensive, that is your free will. It is up to the shop manager to find the right price if they want client to buy and the business to live. So the best you can do is not buying, and TO will adjust.

Nono, I'm not saying I cant exist without paying, I dont even play the game I'm just here to fan the flames.

 It cant just be 90% off cause no conversion fee is that high. When I used to play actively I knew a lot of EU players who used Russian VPNs to buy cheaper. I'm sure people are still doing that. So TO is just taking advantage of the crowd who have no idea how payments work and just pay the premium amount.

@Marcus  If the Bundle is Early Access, Will it come to the Garage soon?

It's not known yet, but there may be more ways to obtain Hopper in the future.

I do not initend to buy anything for the "same price". I inten dto move my capital to where I can buy at an advantage. Just like businesses move their business where they can produce at an advantage.

ok, sounds like a good plan to me. Not sure what this has to do with the "Early Access", but all the best anyway.

Did you do a research about the frase 'brown nosing'? because I never heard about it being a military idiom, or are you talking out of your s again?

 

PS. To the rest that don't know 'brown nosing' is equivalent to 'kissing someone's behind'.

brown-nose (v.) also brownnose, 1939, American English colloquial, said to be military slang originally, from brown (adj.) + nose (n.). ... (i spare you the rest).

Still trying to understand how I can gain advantage or advancement from all of this. Do you think Marcus gonna give me a gold star?
