In the next patch, switching countries will be disabled. That means no more switching to Brazil, Russia, or Mexico to pay a lower amount. :/

Well they are gonna disable it because people were abusing it.

O dear, tanki will soon learn that something is better than nothing. 
Hopefully when they notice no one buying the bundles they’ll realise how ridiculously expensive they are

Im worried about payment security, i might have to use a VPN connected to somewhere like Brazil to make sure my payment details are safe.

I think mine is better: "I do not trust the government and the banks in my country/region. So for the sake of privacy and security, I would like to switch to Russia to make my payment. What? You said Russia is no better than where I'm currently in? Apparently you have no faith in your own country. You are not patriotic enough, comrade. Let me contact the KGB."

People don't also seem to understand why prices are also as such, yes, it may be unfair to people in wealthier countries. The prices are such to relate to the economical value and earning rates too.

 

In reality; tanki should have just locked the region from the beginning, like other games do.

@Akame So??? When is your next purchase? :)

Just asking, are we allowed to use a vpn? Can we get ban for this?

This assume the price in the shop is fair, which is not. 

Pretty much everyone knows everything in the shop super overpriced if they are in US region. 300 USD for a bundle of loot boxes and a bunch of virtual items? Really?

People who yell about this are not necessarily poor. Take me for an example, I make US$4k per month which is way more than enough to buy every single item in the shop. But is it really worth it? Can't I find a better place to spend my money, if I really want to? Like, with that money, I can build a god like PC with the best hardware I can find, and I can buy the best MMO game up to date instead of sticking to this outdated junk.

I can accept the price in the Russia region. For me, at least it appears to be reasonable. Those in other regions are simply outrageous. The Devs obviously have the choice to set whatever price they want. You obviously have the choice to buy it, which apparently you are doing it quit often. Yet, I also have the choice to not buy it, which I will not until the Devs change it back.

When a tankoin daily pass bundle is released again :)) These are consistently worth getting.
I have plenty to last me several battle passes since I don't need anything, nor I care for any special ultra scamtainer augments, I have what I want, that is all that matters.
If I run out of tk, I will simply buy some more, but mass spending, I stopped that long ago, I spend on Fortnite and Genshin impact instead, where it's worth spending for skins and characters.

Yeah; seems like game politics tbh, other games also feature similar, i.e genshin with less gen crys per RUB vs USD. Although exchange rates and everything also play a part in here.

At the end of the day, it's the devs choices, maybe they will reduce shop prices again, and whatnot after the reduction in revenue they receive. You do not need to buy on this 'P2W' game, just find something better instead

Current UK price:

Spoiler

It's a shame we can't even use £ gbp still, considering we have not ever used EUR. especially after brexit.

2016's UK prices (yes it says CAN, but UK was also locked to USD like other countries):

Spoiler

without dcc

with dcc

comparison:

99.99 usd back then could get you 358k crys and 7d prem, assuming no dcc.

99.99 usd now can get you 350k crys, a combo pass (bp+7d prem) and then 1210 tk remains, or 2 battle passes instead of a combo pass, assuming no sale spend.

Challenge rewards: 

Still better than it was before realistically.

If it's too much, you can A) Abuse JGR, B) Minimize playing, C) Stop playing or D) Leave the game.

I was thinking that’s it’s funny how tanki won’t let me use my own currency but won’t let me use one of my own choosing. 
 

They way i see it, is there’s 3 types of players, 1st group doesn’t or can’t spend a penny, 2nd can spend a bit, 3rd can buy whatever. Prior to the update the 2nd group could compete with the 3rd getting the latest augments and maxing out their garage, but now apart from buying the odd BP here or there, the gap now grows ever wider. 
 

would be interesting to see how EA and activision deal with this sort of thing 

[Akame 4,577]

Yeah, I believe the 2nd group has the right to complain a bit, a 100% price increase from the games home to a common place currency is quite hefty. 3rd group though are a whole different story. This game needs as much funds as it can acquire, they've clearly lost a fair bit due to location unlocks, so that's a fault of tanki in the first place. Crystal inflation and all. I don't think they thought out the actual game plan.

At this rate, we're just gonna keep heading in circles where new op augments and turrets/hulls are released, early access for a while etc (including a bunch of bugs), because the game doesn't really sell much otherwise.

Currently the only valuable things to purchase realistically for an average player is battle passes and tankoin passes. The rest are far much of a gamble, but can be used at their own discretion.

Why is the shop refresh time always one hour later than the mission refresh time? If I buy all the goods, I have to wait another hour to complete the mission.

[fghjkl54 1,517]

I just noticed that the mobile app is made the same way tweeter lite was made, a web based app. but it dosen't have google payment system which may be illegal so the suggestion is to add it again since it's the only way to buy in game items in some countries
