And why we would be gratefull that ccp makes an offer which is more expensive than buying from an external website., ?

The point is they aren't the same items and they're sold in different places, so their price is not governed by the same rules(Can I get a huzzaa for taxes \o/) and they're paid for in different currency. It's perfectly ok to buy them for cheap though. CCP will get their money either way.

So my best guess is that ppl from the US see a 150 dollar deal for 10 plex.. I

There is no difference other that you get 2 plex for 1 GTC
Jonah Gravenstein Holistic Materials Research Council 3595	Posted - 2012.11.23 20:46:00 - [12] - Quote It's called an exchange rate mechanism, as it's a black friday offer I presume that the original price is in US$, historically Europe has always gotten screwed on the conversion from $ to Gé¼ and -ú, most companies seem to assume $1 = 1 of whatever currency is worth more than the $, you also have to take into account the rate of VAT which varies across Europe, CCP probably cover their bases by including the VAT at a fixed rate (probably the highest) so that administration costs are minimised. Do the obvious thing, buy 5 PLEX @ the lower price via the GTC mechanism in place. Personally I find that a sub is way cheaper than buying either PLEX or GTC, you're getting charged extra for the convenience of being able to change real cash for imaginary cash. Always bet on stupid, CCP can't patch stupid Corporations for sale, with hisec POS rights
Ocih Space Mermaids Somethin Awfull Forums 301	Posted - 2012.11.23 20:47:00 - [13] - Quote CCP don't sell GTC. I think that's what these people are trying to say and keep their rough and tough edge. The people who buy GTC get them in bulk and get better deals as a result. They then pass that on to you. If you can buy GTC cheaper, do that. Plex is aimed at Americans and Canadians with more money than brains. Like me.
Garia666 T.H.U.G L.I.F.E Sinewave Alliance 13	Posted - 2012.11.23 20:57:00 - [14] - Quote Jonah Gravenstein and Ocih you are both right, thats why i am warning the euro players.. in the early days there was no plex and only GTC . you could extend your game time with creditcard or an other 3th party. ( in dollars )

There is no difference other that you get 2 plex for 1 GTC an GTC cost 34.99 USD and plex for someone in europe cost 19,95- eur so 2 plex which is the same as 1 GTC with no black Friday offer costs 39,9 euro which is 51.09 dollars I still don't see, why it's a problem. Just go on the internet and get yourself a GTC instead of 2 plexes from CCP. Yes. You'll have to cope with exchange rates. So what? Think about it as being part of learning to adapt in this highly competitive hypercapitalistic game that EVE is.

And if ppl dont know better they might buy it. With this post i hope that ppl who need to pay euro`s for plex. Read my post and buy GTC..

When I visit the Plex site on the Eveonline site I only get prices in euros... Sorry if this is really obvious, I just don't seem to find this anywhere :S

This totally depends on exchange rates. Currently european players may be at a disadvantage. But there were also times, where you could get plex at a rate equal to a months sub in a yearly payment scheme. At those rates, buying a gtc was very attractive, because you had comparable costs and high flexibility.

Sorry if this is really obvious, I just don't seem to find this anywhere :S You cant buy plex in dollars sadly.. you will need to buy GTC from an reseller . https://secure.eveonline.com/etc.aspx i use shatter crystal as its instant .. ( they do a 1st time buys check ) Then when you get GTC in your email you can covert them from out of your account managment page.

No, as a GTC isn't a PLEX Then you convert the GTC and you get 2 PLEX but then you don't have the GTC "Little ginger moron" ~David Hasselhoff-á

The European prices include a VAT which the USD prices do not - European countries generally off-set this with an import tax (which equals their domestic VAT) to make sure that their local businesses are not at an disadvantage compared to foreign imports. As online purchases of digital goods are not tracked/declared for tax purposes in any automatic way, European EVE players would have to list the GTCs they buy at an US store in their tax declaration (and then pay the import tax) - something they generally do not do. tl;dr OP is advertising tax fraud - which is unsurprisingly more profitable than paying taxes. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid.

Nexus Day Native Freshfood Minmatar Republic 125	Posted - 2012.11.23 22:28:00 - [27] - Quote It is because of Greece and Spain. Kick them out of the EU and you will be paying the same price. Oddly CCP does not have sympathy for bankrupt countries.
Marvin Narville Imperial Outlaws 17	Posted - 2012.11.23 22:33:00 - [28] - Quote Posting in a stealth "nerf the European economy" thread? 10/10 good sir. On a side note, if there is a catastrophic Greek exit from the euro, what impact will this have on CCP Plex prices. Presumably hyper-inflation of the Greek currency means we could be looking at prices well north of 5-600 million Drachmas in Jita. TL;DR WHEN IS CCP GOING TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES OF PLEX IN GREECE?!?!?!?!? Also, nerf minerbumping.
Seven Noctis State War Academy Caldari State 65	Posted - 2012.11.23 22:35:00 - [29] - Quote Seriously? Different prices in different regions for the same product, big surprise... There is nothing unusual about this, in fact, it is to be expected for a multitude of reasons. Quote: It is because of Greece and Spain. Kick them out of the EU and you will be paying the same price. Unlikely. In fact, I might expect the opposite. Seven's Starting Player Enhanced Experience Deal - SPEED
