The company makes a product and wants to sell it, and the company sets the price that suits it. It's fair, it's how it works. We are not talking about water or some essential good, where a philosophical discussion would fit, it is a game.
If you don't like how the company works, don't play it.

In any case it does not matter if they can sell it cheaper, they will sell it as expensive as possible to get the most profit. And there is nothing wrong with that, that's what they work for, to earn a lot of money. It's amazing that you don't understand.

It is none of your business if they simply duplicate digital items to make more money, it is a business that people decide to feed, because it is fun and therefore it is a good business.

Have you ever made a game? Have you designed? You do not know what you are talking about. Apply your principles to your own life and your company, and see how it goes.

You are not important. You are one more person. Nobody has to adjust things for you. They don't owe you anything. This is life.

You can complain about bugs when you pay for a product, you can complain about bad service, but not about the price. Price is something you choose to pay. You choose to play the game.

I won't keep arguing with you cause how you look at the others is a symbol of toxicity, anyway, wanna know the effect? The crown price has just raised from 400:1 gold to 900:1, in short terms,every single item price is gonna be increased by 2x as the result of this change, and yeah so many people are already dropping the game cause of this, prices are 3x - 4x compare to 3 months ago? And that's because all the ignorant people like you out there thought just about "making my own profit and no further than my nose tip" and yes it will affect every single thing in the way people tend to play, to grind and raise the prices again, thank you for your shared wisdom

So, for you my valid argument "is toxic". But you can insult other ppl calling them "ignorants" and that is not toxicity.. ok dude!!

Nobody cares.

and yet here you are, posting multiple times with long, detailed posts about the issue. That's an odd way to show how little you care, wouldn't you say?

I think there's some sort of ideological obsession here that overshadows rational thought on the very local subject . Apparently there's some sort of communist speech in this thread that I didn't spot. Best leave it, you can't have a normal discussion with zealots :D

I think you're getting caught up in the politics here which is not appropriate for this thread. Poor government or not, this person is in a really disappointing position where the small amount of luxury he could afford has now been priced way out of his grasp.

Rather than turning the discussion to international politics maybe dealing with actual topic of the thread and showing a little empathy might be more humane.

By the way this situation is not caused by "bad governments". It's caused by people who have a good standard of living, using VPNs to cheat the system and ultimately breaking it for the normal person - like the OP.

Finally, someone who understands the subject. You are pretty spot on with everything you stated.

I don't blame him for calling you ignorant. I label you as an ignorant person too.
Your argument is obviously less right. Since you are sitting on top of the food chain, looking down on others and proceed to humiliate them for this kind of stuff that they are powerless against. They are in this situation because of us, people who are capable of spending more money into games and even decide to exploit regional prices, which leads to this outcome.

You are no different than a person who sees someone lieing on the floor unconscious and proceeds to walk by and completly ignore the situation. There is nothing good from your argument as it indicates selfishness, which makes it less valid in the end. Nobody likes people like you in the end, who think themselves to be above others and should be capable of exploiting others for your own merit.

Perhaps too many people were boasting around how cheap crowns are in south america, and how they can get gazillions of gold cheaply with crowns-for-gold sales.

I'm not sure if those boasts had any factual basis and I don't know what the actual price of crowns was/is in South America, but I've _have_ seen people boasting around, so that would be my first guess.

21k crown went up from 2100ars to 5200! really 2.4x is rly high in any currency

21k crowns is for 125€ here in Czech republic, which equals price of an ok smart phone or half of averate monthly rent.

5200 ars is 45€. You STILL have it incredibly cheap and I would give a lot to have so cheap prices.

Agreed, that is ridiculously cheap compared to prices where I live. It's nearly three times cheaper.

That's just counted average that has nothing to do with real life. The incomes of rich "high 10000" people are counted in it too. The real person has around 800, maybe less.
But yeah, if you are really THAT poor, I can understand that.

Isnt then the problem though that people can abuse the system and buy them super cheap? this would not be as big an issue if crows were sold only via the eso website but even then it can be abused.

When Witcher 3 launched day 1 my friend used a VPN to south america to buy the game and expansion pass for us both for £18 instead of like £80 or whatever it was.

yes that is the problem. And I can understand that Zenimax wants to prevent that. But sadly we are the ones that "suffer" from that. as many here pointed out, the new crownprice is still very cheap, for them yes, but for us its not. A feature would be nice like you can buy crowns only via website and have to provide an ID for your account first so you can proof you live there. But I guess other people would still find a way to abuse that. I have seen it on other games here where the price was increased 300% because players from other region would buy it. It's sadly too easy appereantly on steam to cheat the system.

The thing is that even YOURS very cheap price - compared to mine which is 3 times more expensive - is STILL incredibly expensive, considering the entire game costs €60.
