Originally by: Terminus adacai Regardless of what the dollar is worth in your country, it is still a dollar here. We Americans do not get adjusted salaries based on the value of the euro, contrary to your belief. $14.95 is still $14.95 to us.
Course your dolla suck dosnt mean you get a discount on buying international services.

@ whoever was asking why i was bothered:
Because i have to jump headfirst into a legal grey area to pay the same amount as others who receive exactly the same service as me. I'd be happy to just pay VAT @ 17.5%, but 40% just takes the ****.

You're confusing the difference in pricing and the VAT. It should be clear by now that only part of the difference is VAT; you are not paying more VAT just because the USD has dropped. =AFK=

Yes. That's exactly what i'm saying. I'd be happy if the price difference was JUST vat. but it isn't. There's a huge gulf between the prices simply because CCP refuse to alter their currency conversions, which were apparently done 7 years ago.

I saw the same thing and I thought it wasnt fair either. Then they pointed out it costs alot more to do business in EU then it does anywhere else in the world. I think that is messed up and unfair to you guys as well.

Heh. Right now the world seems to be of the opinion that the EU economy is the stronger..and based on the figures coming out of the US it's hard to disagree.

Yep, not just vs. the Euro but vs. All currencies. AUD vs USD is @ 23 year record highs. Eve for me has never been cheaper. \o/.
The basics are that Eve has not increased in price for just about ANYONE since release. It has decreased in price for most people paying in USD... except well for those people that earn USD also. For whom it's the same.

Pwned for serious wrecking dmg. The dollar is weak but don't mistaken it as the end of the US economy. If it was the end the DOW would still be at 9k and unemployment would be higher than in France.

Germany started geting there economy in to gear for the first time since the fall of the wall, where i live there is less than 2% unemployment rate and the trend is showing in most of wurope the reason the overal eu economy dosnt look that strong is the recent absorption of the old easteren contrys

The true US unemployment rate may actually be higher than France's right now. The US unemployment rate is calculated solely based on the number of people collecting unemployment, which you can only do for 6 months. After those 6 months are up, even if you are still unemployed, you are no longer considered officially unemployed by the 'system' and are no longer counted. You'll find that there are a large number of folks who are still very much unemployed right now that aren't counted because of this. It's a nice little propaganda tool we Americans have to fool the rest of the world into thinking everything is wonderful over here. ;-)

This is true it is based off of Unemployment. That said if we Did have higher Unemployment then companys wouldent Constantly be highering people and almost Every company Ive talked to in the last 5 Years wouldent be complaining of being Under staffed. So Id say that were Dooing Pritty good as far as Jobs go...Now to kick the damn dollar in the Bum and make it grow again.

I was just about to say that. Not too long ago we woulda been paying close to $25 CDN, now we're down to $14.6 CDN. A high-school dropout can make more than that in an hour if he/she's a good worker (in north Alberta or Red Deer, atleast).
As for the US vs euro cost, there would be a lot more complicated calculations to figure out the true cost to the customer (e.g. monthly cost as % of per capita income for the demographic that constitutes the majority of the player base or some fancy thing like that).
