Because tomorrow, another war started, more oil secured, dollar soars etc.
If they were to bind fees to currencies ups and downs, people would soon start investing in EVE-timecodes instead of stockoptions, and pretty soon american warships would land on the shores of Iceland, bringing forth untold numbers of robot-soldiers.
We can't have that. Can we?

Lets be happy we are not paying in Icelandic Kronas, or CCP would be dead-broke
Quote: Fears that Iceland could be the first country to fall victim of the global financial turmoil grew yesterday when its central bank abruptly increased interest rates 1.25 percentage points to 15 per cent in an attempt to restore confidence in its struggling currency and stave off a full- blown economic crisis.

How much is bread in Euros?
I pay $1.39 for 1 loaf of italian bread.
Gas is $3.39 per gallon
Went to a dentist the other day cost me $250 to get a tooth pulled.
Wages in the New York area average around 60k/year but theres alot of people living on 30-40k by living in the suburbs where the rents are lower.
1 loaf of italian bread is about USD $4 here.
Gas per gallon is USD $7.6
Getting a tooth pulled about USD $150
Average wage is about $40k USD , after tax about $28k USD
So in closing.. you pay a lot less money for everything, you get a lot more for your money, and we should pay more than you? Where's your logic?

Personally I'd rather live in Paris than New York. But not London. Anywhere but London.
Jeez, Paris? Really?
And you talk about snotty euro's! They're the epitaph of snotty euro's!
Edit: I'd much rather live in Prague, Czech republic.. Beautiful city, cheap beer, cheap everything, nice people! \o/

Originally by: Overwhelmed EVE is a universe where everyone has guns and wants everyone else's money. The center is crawling with police. Surrounding the center is an area where the police are afraid to leave major travel routes because it is crawling with extremely violent gangs. On the outskirts (0.0), we have exclusive clans trying to build picket fences around their homes. Insurance fraud is common.
So you see, Americans pay less because they aren't necessarily getting a unique experience from EVE.
Oh man. Subtle, humorous, well-written. You don't belong on Eve-O!!
