Malcanis Caldari Vanishing Point. The Initiative.	Posted - 2010.11.12 15:17:00 - [31] Make ISK, buy PLEX, cease to care. Malcanis' Law: Whenever a mechanics change is proposed on behalf of "new players", that change is always to the overwhelming advantage of richer, older players.
Ranger Dude	Posted - 2010.11.12 15:27:00 - [32] Originally by: Memorya Originally by: kugiu Originally by: Memorya America is know 3rd. world country and that's why ccp needs european money, becouse american money is going slowly but sure down until it's dead. Get your facts straight. 1. The USA spent trillions on AIG on the European sectors so the European economy wouldn't fail. 2. If the USA was a 3rd world country as you say they world economy would have failed a long time ago. 3. Yes life is better in America, the democrats in office are trying to so what Europe did long time ago Socialism!!!! Socialism = Take from the RICH and GIVE it to the POOR until they run out of the RICH dudes money there you are screwed. 4. Yes USA health care is #1, someone uninsured can get top notched health care within days. Europe = 6 months to a year waiting list. 5. F22 Pwns the Typhoon :) Ah.... brainwashed american, hello! You point's are insane ridiculos . Learn 1st. what Europe is and dont watch Fox news to much, it hurt's your iq .... First before you say America is a 3rd would country you need to learn America. The truth is if AIG failed Europe banking system would be in deep deep trouble worse then anything we seen happen in so far in E.U or USA. Europeans should be thankful for over $110+ Billion of United States taxpayer dollars where invested into E.U Banks to help stabilize there economy.

Ghoest	Posted - 2010.11.12 18:34:00 - [43] Edited by: Ghoest on 12/11/2010 18:35:19 crai more - its all Chinas fault. China keeps the Yuan pegged to the dollar. This has been screwing the US royally for 15 years now. So now the US is basically saying "The system isnt fair and were tired of getting screwed so were gonna exploit it ourselves." Wherever you went - Here you are.

the 9999	Posted - 2010.11.12 21:24:00 - [46] Originally by: David Darkstar Finally a topic about this... To all of you that are saying the OP should stop whining; 131.40 EUR is 179.778 USD to be exact. I guess you guys wouldn't be whining if they raised your subscription to 179$... right Thank you. thats exactly what I calculated. and its really not fair. Also, I got petition response saying that Croatia should be charged in bucks...

Worgen Fratmon Minmatar Instapop Industries death from above..	Posted - 2010.11.12 22:54:00 - [48] Originally by: knobber Jobbler Isn't VAT in the US a state by state thing with some states having no or little VAT? I personally buy GTC's from EVE time codes and pay US prices for them and I'm from the UK. Shop around people, you can play EVE cheaper than most other MMO's. There are no US States with a Value Added Tax (VAT). All states have a sales tax (that may seem similar to a VAT but works slightly differently) that is imposed on all in-state transactions. Some states require (by law) that sales tax be paid on all transactions done by the resident of that state, but the resident is the person resposible for the reporting of the transaction.

Even walking across grass can kill you Population all descended from kriminal scum So you live in low sec? ;) Well... there's certainly a fairly laid-back attitude to law enforcement here, and a glamourisation of criminal notoriety too. And definitely an ambivalence regarding the amount of power our elected governments have over our lives here. Also, on our Commonwealth Coat of Arms we have two animals, the Kangaroo and the Emu. If you want to see them, you could drive for a day and a half to the Outback. Or, you could go eat at any top restaurant and have both of them on your plate. Emu is a bit meh, but Kangaroo is om nom nom yummy. Definitely try it if you ever get the chance. Not many places in the world that will let you eat their national symbols We're a friendly bunch though - I promise you that we don't gank visitors as they step out of the airport

Americans are, and always have been, the most generous people on the planet. It can't be generosity if its done at the barrel of a rifle. Depends on what you mean by generosity. If by generous you mean campaigning to stop those horrible evil poor people getting healthcare then sure. America is only generous when it's advantageous to them, same as everybody else.
Diomedes Calypso	Posted - 2010.11.13 00:22:00 - [53] Sorry to derail the trolling but back to the OP. What are the hurdles in the way of buying GTCs with dollars and applying them to your account or turning them into plex then activating? I guess this is a bigger question than paying for Eve. Can europeans (or tongans or people from Somalia) use a credit card or money transfer to fund a pay-pal account with dolars the use the pay-pal account to make purchases from US companies with dollars as if they were an american?

I take it you didnt read all of the racist crap during the PLEX for pakistan campaign. What you say may be right but from what i have seen, they are also the most malicious.
Narisa Bithon Caldari	Posted - 2010.11.13 00:39:00 - [55] Originally by: the 9999 Someone should notice that yearly cost is 131.40Ç for European ppl( not only EU member countries which iceland isnt part of yet, and for rest of world its 131.40USD. This is something new since november. Before that i could have choosen to pay in Ç or$. The thing is this isnt the same value. Ç is worth more then $, meaningEuropean ppl pay more for the game then everyone else. Suffice to say that the difference is such that if i pay yearly fee in USD i get 1more month of sub for same value. I am from Europe but not from EU So our conversion rate makes it even more expensive. Not many option remain: mask my IP to pay cheaper; buy GTCs which cost more?? I feel stupid because i wanted to pay for this game in Real money - i got lot of isk - but i dont want to be made fool paying more for same thing then others do . Way to go CCP. buy gtc's from Shattered Crystal and pay Ç26 - Ç28 for a 60day gtc code

F22 Pwns the Typhoon :) As far as i can tell only no.5 is actually true and as both are obsolete for modern warfare (they aren't particularly good at detecting roadside bombs, torching poppy feilds or searching compounds for weapons) and the typhoon costs 1/10th as much americana loses there too.
Opertone Caldari Metalworks Majesta Empire	Posted - 2010.11.13 00:44:00 - [57] ONLY in russia YOU get free money and free debt plus lifetime serf duty as a free extra. But hell, then money is cheap... cause you were born to serf anyways

Europeans should be thankful for over $110+ Billion of United States taxpayer dollars where invested into E.U Banks to help stabilize there economy. And you should be thankful the banks of the world which the US owes over 14 Trillion dollars dont tell you to fu*kin pay up or your country would be bankrupt. Sorry what was that about 'driving' the world economy? With the lack of money and constant debt you dig yourselves in? owait.....
the 9999	Posted - 2010.11.13 08:47:00 - [60] Edited by: the 9999 on 13/11/2010 08:48:22 Originally by: Diomedes Calypso Sorry to derail the trolling but back to the OP.

Can europeans (or tongans or people from Somalia) use a credit card or money transfer to fund a pay-pal account with dolars the use the pay-pal account to make purchases from US companies with dollars as if they were an american? Basicaly, 12 months of GTCs (6 of them) is 210$. USD cost of yearly subsciption is 131$. USD cost of paying in Ç is 179.78$ Some cards allow transfer of money all around. The main issue is that if you are in Europe, CCP checks IP and allows only option to pay for subs in Ç. They dont allow you the option to pay by your choice.
