Good bye mates, its been real
So yeah, The LATAM distributor just took argentine peso out of the viable currencies, so I cant buy EoD with my old account without paying that + 75% taxes, so that's a no go. And since I cant link my account here, I cant buy EoD alone through steam (still 75% taxes but cheaper), and if I were to start again from scratch with regional pricing, then I would have to buy it all again, plus that 75% tax, and waste 3 AAA worth of cash on one expansion and a fresh account to start all over. That means I am truly F-ckd, both by Anet and my clown ass country that cant keep a stable currency no matter what.
So I am not playing an old account where I cant buy anything new, nor am I paying for everything again. I am forced to stop. I cant afford it.
So yeah, this is goodbye to GW2.
For anyone who hasn't played this, do it. Its amazing, its alive, and it respects your time. I am really sad I cant keep on trucking, but its a testament to this game that I got butt-f.kd by Anet and still recommend it.
God speed everyone, its been amazing, and I hope this game does great.
(and that they allow linking in the future, jesus what the hell were they thinking)
EDIT: YO, THIS AINT PITTY BAIT, ANY GIFTED KEYS WILL BE REFUNDED INMEDIATELY. Thanks but I want kinship and to vent, not to covertly beg on a F2P game. Cheers mates.

Really? Those are valid solutions, what's to be so annoyed about? In fact I almost felt inclined to actually gift you a key but nevermind that. At this rate this feels more like a pity bait to get something for free, your loss.
don't, I do not want to be gifted a key, not by you nor anyone. If I wanted, I would have said so. I don't want pitty, I wanted to vent. Go away now friend, thanks. Don't make it weird, please
And I am annoyed because you keep on insisting or insinuating I am some kind of beggar who gets his stuff gifted to him. And it ticks me off. Where do you get off saying this kind of stuff? It is spiteful.
Annoyed by something because of legitimate reasons such as prices being ridiculous? It was just a valid thought put out there as an harmless guess based on what you said, again you make it like it's a problem here to not have regional pricing but somehow you were able to enjoy the other past half of the game with the same terrible inflation, the dots don't connect that's all for the mention.

Nothing is or ever was spiteful, you refuse to acknowledge valid solutions that are legitimate and circumvent your poor country decisions that are not anyone to blame but them.

It's hardly pity if you can legitimately make a fair trade to someone. Nobody is losing much in the end for such a trade, you save yourself much of the pain of having to pay an exorbitant amount of money by literally paying for the expansion with in-game currency to someone fairly that could use the gems.

Likewise, your loss for the refusal of a simple solution. Gifting would be the best outcome but that's not what I'm implying exclusively which seems to be what you think.

Mail the dude the gold he needs :) Assuming you can even buy expansions with Gold.

I don't want to pressure you to stay, but if you like the game and community consider it.

The End of Dragons is fun content, but it occupies less than 20% of what I do in game

Are you able to buy the End of Dragons with gems? If so, I am sure people would give you gold and then you could exchange it for gems.

It's just a drop in the bucket, but I would give you 200 gold. I am sure we could fund it for you within 2 weeks. Maybe less.

I don't know what's it for you guys but in my country the game is 1,500 peso for the DLC and that is a week or two of food in the table. I think that is over price for a game this old.

It's very unfair.

We're trying to figure out a work around.

I can only think of 2 ways:

1. You need to get a product key code from a third party. I used to use kinguin.net and never had an issue. Some people find it questionable. It looks like it sells the key in EUROs, so maybe that avoids the additional tax applied on U.S. dollars. There may be other third party vendors that are valid.

2. If you join an active guild, with an active discord, then they will pitch in to help you. I've been part of guilds that outright bought legendaries financed by gems for it's members.

That said, no game is worth your food and roof expenses.

why not play without the End of Dragons Expansion for the time being .

What? Just buy from the ANet store / website with your old account. Start old account via steamerino. Done.

Ah, this makes sense... I was wondering when you said it was 75% tax as Argentina's tax rate is 5-35%. So if you purchase using USD while in Argentina you are taxed an extra 40% on top of the 35% you would already pay.

How do they know? Is it traced through your bank?

Could you not just ask a friend from outside the country to buy the game and give you the code and you'd owe them back or something? I'm pretty sure, although I could be wrong, that you can get a GW2 expansion CD key directly from ANet. The only issue is if someone in the US or EU were to buy the standard edition of the new expansion it would be the equivalent of 4131 ARS. I don't know if that's more expensive or not, however.
its that almost to the point. Its 35 usd equivalent in here. But add that the 75&.
And I dunno how it works, its automatically charged to the card you are using (debit is needed for international transactions.
And to asking a friend, that's a no go, anyone I pay back is gonna have to take pesos and be straight up scammed by this dumb currency we have, or I have to take usd and we are back at square one. Plus, its a hassle.
A sale and patience will be the answer, the game will still be around. Its been 10 years strong, its gonna be a couple more for sure.

Could they not buy the game, give you the code and you owe them back for a game you can pay for in ARS for the equivalent amount? It would be delayed but if you're buddies they would likely not mind waiting.

And now he calls me a liar. Dude, go away, please. I Bought the other expansions because they allowed buying in pesos, they don't anymore. Please don't make me explain myself to you any more, Go away, you are being very spiteful towards me and I find it offputting.


And to everyone else
Thanks to everyone trying to pitch in gold or stuff but no mates, I love this community and I know you would pitch in in a heartbeat, that's not the idea. I won't play on my old account because now that buying from Anet is not an option in pesos (It was before, that's why I bought the other ones), it would just be playing on a doomed account. I will wait for a sale, and join y'all back someday. there's bound to be either a merger or a deep sale someday. Or maybe they will bring back a way to pay with pesos and the whole thing is solved
Didn't know I could buy expansions with gems tho, that's cool.
cheers mates.

if you have an paypal account, or an international credit card, you can buy directly from anet, here in Brazil no one sells the expansions, i had to buy them all in dollars directly

I explain why as a mention and you still take offense all along, someone being critical to assess reasons to situations is not spiteful in the slightest, especially when they're just future tense elaborations to comprehend.

You're still acting out of your mind like I'm trying to attack you, you can stop assuming, you have solution available to you, the only thing you'll truly be called from me is lazy. Have fun with your endeavour.

Mail the dude the gold he needs :) Assuming you can even buy expansions with Gold.

It's the opposite way, he could make a fair trade to anyone he trusts such as a friend to pay in the equivalent Gold of Gems, that'd be like 600-800 Gold or so for 30$.
