Yeah, so the price “fix” doesn’t stop anything except creating new accounts for cheap, which is why pack #3 was removed… so why remove regional pricing? Or… why remove pack #3 if it would have been more expensive, too?
no one else seems to be aware of this ever having been said.
they said things that… if you read poorly… might -look- like this… but they weren’t this.
what the price fix does:
it stops some people in the community from getting the same products while paying less than 1/3 the price.
this prevents people from exploiting the cheap prices in one region to buy a lot of the DLC, and then selling it “cheap” (compared to the expensive regions) while making a profit in some manner.
everyone demands they do something about botters/RMT…
and then they do something about them, and everyone suddenly demands it be something -else- that doesn’t affect -them-.
This is why servers that apply all over the world don’t work. Regional servers work so much better for MMO games, I don’t mean just locations but accounts too.
You buy a EU copy you just go to the EU server.
You buy a US copy you just go to the US server.
Etc.
Unfortunately certain global groups are more likely to scam or exploit loop holes and everyone gets punished. At least with regional accounts you can get better value in terms of regional currency.
First of all TS is speaking for himself, not for some “Russian community”. Thats just lame.
I’m from Russia myself, but i do understand that regional prices for international server will cause abuse and resselings. In fact, the decision to sell premium game currency for regional prices was silly and unprofessional and caused many problems.
Yes, founders packs is now realy expensive, but you should undertand that founders packs wasnt designed for multiple purchases and stacking TP. Founders packs is like tickets for early access. And price was raised because of abuse.
I hightly doubt that price of token for example will be like 20$ after game going f2p. Game is already losing players very quickly due to poor optimization and lack of content. ToS is not AAA mmo, high prices will push away community and destroy the game. And IMC understand that.
So dont panic so soon people from third world countries. Wait for game release and actual prices announced.
P.S. If you want to play international server, get ready to pay appropriate price, no matter how weak your own currency is. Otherwise wait for regional server.
They want you to play on SEA server /paf
Enjoy your affordable TP/high ping experience !
Actually it will cost around $20. (https://forum.treeofsavior.com/t/whats-the-cost-of-1-token-in-the-english-version/154702)
Wanna pay 1.3k rubles a month to play the MMO like a MMO and not some single player game? Trade restrictions, 1 item on market, no team strorage etc.
Theses shouldn’t be paywalled anyway…
/facepalm
Seriously i dont see how’s that even a discussion.
IMC is a private company working for profits, it is up to them what prices they want to set for their service. Are they breaking any laws by doing it? Prices are too high? People wont buy it, and IMC wont get profit then.
Try to go to NewYork, Tokyo or Moscow, go to the hooker and say: “Hey, you know, 50$ is too much for you service! I can go to movies 15 times for that money! I’m from 3rd world country so give me regional discount!”
People, seriously, WTF?!
Your reasoning makes no sense at all, a hooker in Russia won’t be the same price as a hooker in the States. Same as a kg of chicken or apples. It’s IMC’s choice to provide a service yes and if they do indeed want to make profit they, themselves must adapt to different countries and their situations OR they simply do not advertize the game in such countries.
But isn’t it more like said hooker is now in your country, down the street from others in the same line of work with competitive pricing, yet the cost of this special “service” is in line with their country of origin instead of where it is being served?
No one forces anyone to buy the DLC especially the expensive one.
It is only fair for everyone to have the same price as anything else leads to abuse. And Russia on steam is known to be abused for cheap purchases and gifts.
If the Russian Community leaves because of that then spasibo my friend and goodbye.
It’s “spasibo”, with “o”.
There were a lot of discussion about “hey, your people abusing this and that, gtfo for everyone to live happily”. Russians, Brazilians, doesn’t matter.
Well, this doesn’t work because why call it “international server” then, hm?
And also, as I mentioned above, people can and want(ed) to use VPN to buy from other countries’ markets on Steam. But this should be Steam’s headache, not IMC’s.
Let’s blame Steam because why not!
In Soviet Russia… DLC owns you.
most-expensive-cities-in-the-world
You right i’m sorry, i probably shouldnt include New York in my example.
And that contradict my post how, my young little genius?
See the above.
So you’re playing with VPN?
Reported.
Omg, thank god i dont have a gun. Did you even think bro??? Its about that IMC didnt warn nobody about the price changes. Do i have to draw it for you, my sweet heart? . IMC just raised the prices like magic just one day before the sales off. You f.uckers make me cringe so much. @pikaegde
Oh sorry my only Russian Language education came from Dota.
Thing is steam holds to its system and IMC acts. And using a VPN for 80% discount is something that many people I know do.
Steam does not really care about this as customer numbers are far more important for a business of that size. But small companies such as IMC suffer because of such abuse.
I guess we can consinder this a C1 language schooling. For cursing at least.
You should be really stupid.
Because in YOUR country 45$ is “one time lunch”, you think it’s the same in Russia?
What do you don’t understand about AAA titles for 2000rur?
You even know what is the standard of living of a country?
■■■■… do you mean your country currency is that “bad”
are you guys serious? You mean all of you are just… poor?
