If you are billed in Euros you are losing money.
Current rates are (more or less) 1 Euro = 1.3 U.S. Dollars and the tendency according to analists is 1 Euro = 1.6 Dollars in a near future.
It's really unfair because furthermore we europeans need to pay VAT and the U.S. gamers don't.
I know that CCP is clapping his hands due to this climb in the Euro value, but this is just NOT fair.
We play the same game and we demand to pay the same value as others.
Please sign this if you are an European.

Not CCPs vault. For Some stupid reason some moron(s) who run the EU decided to add a "Calue Added Tax" or whatever its called to all online transfers within Europe.
This is why we pay more then people outside europe.

Would you complain if the exchange rate was in the oposite direction? Also, prices of the game have not changed. They were marked constant when the game was released. You agreed to pay that price back then, why not agree to pay it now. So the economics of currency exchange have shifted, but the numeric values have not.

Well CCP IS in Iceland and though I know we're at the fringe of Western Europe there's no need to push us out completely  .
I'm not going to argue about wether the way CCP bills for your subscription is right or wrong. I just thought they billed you in your local currency. But what do I know...
Just wanted to make sure that you get this right CCP is IN Iceland which last I knew IS in Europe....at least politically, but geographically...shifting...

Signed.
And im actually gonna dock now to see if it is illegal to charge people from different races different amounts. With all this affirmative action *******s im gonna get me some benefit as a white single male.
And CCP need to have a fixed amount and then transfer that into your currency, which would be variable.
Infact i seem to remember something from a similar case with eurotunnel (we were, as usual, being ripped off while folks from other countries were paying less for the same) Eurotunnel hasnt been done for it because it effectively said it wasnt charging less because they were american par=se, it was because they were paying in dollars. And so, if you book a flight or anything, buy it in dollars (you can do this through your regular bank, no probs) youl save yourself a ton. Im gonna go through the sign up process again, to see what option there is. Ill bet they say like "are you gonna pay in dollars or euros" as opposed to "are you american or european"
So then, lock my ass and prove me right.

Since when CCP is in Europe?
It does business in Europe, and must charge it's European customers VAT. That's the law.

its perhaps easy to get around. If the IP where CCP recieves its buy order from is outside the liberal hell that is modern europe, then they have not sold within europe.
Down with labour, up with UKIP, and just WTF are the conservatives again?
