Regional Pricing for Gems
Hi, I would love to support the game, been playing it for ~3 years now. Even though the God Pack and the Split pass are in INR (India Rupees), gems are not and it costs a bomb (as much as a newly released AAA game).

Just wanted to know if this was intended or an oversight?

It's because you are not a Russian, in Russia and all the countries around it, you get 100 gems for about 27 USD in rubble ...

Guess indian don't deserve the same discount ...

But I feel you, in my country 100 usd is 1 and a half day of work ... not discount for us either.

I'd appreciate discounts for other countries which got poor currency, but please don't cry about discounts Steam made for my country. They're completely fair.

1 USD = 56 RUR
Default price for 8000 gems is 100 USD
In Russia 8000 gems cost 1663 RUR (which is 30 USD)

However it's fair. There is no trading in SMITE like in Dota 2 so there is no need to raise prices up to USA's ones. It's not my fault my country is ruled by junta and we have no real economy. If prices will be risen people will just stop buying skins and stuff. That's why hi-rez should make discounts for third world countries, their profits will raise, can't they understand that?
