20€ => WoW Token => 13€ battle.net Balance GG Blizzard

[Tradu]

Gold price of then token will take that into account.


The problem they can't give you the token for 15€ when one months game time (the value of the token) only costs 12.99€. Noone would ever reedeem the token for game time.

You can already save money by buying enough tokens to get 3 or 6 months subs.

They could make the token cost ~17 euros, which would keep it relatively the same as NA.

17€ + 20% VAT = 20€. Its not magic. People just conveniently forget that US prices are generally without any taxes, and EU prices typically include the VAT already.

[MakeMeLaugh]

LMAO, Brazil gets 7.5 dollars out a token.

In brazil we need to buy the token 4 times to get a character transfer, race change, faction change and twice to change appearance and change name.

EU WoW token = 182k
NA WoW token = 87k

So a UK player would need to buy 5 tokens to have enough to get a 100 boost because they'd be 4p short with 4 tokens, which is the number of tokens it would require for a US player to get one. Seems a bit silly.

If you're gonna fix it, also fix the NA price, which is at 99.5k atm.

[Gorsameth]

EU price will probably rise up to somewhere around 250k ><

[Scopel]

EU WoW token = 162k
NA WoW token = 100k

fixed.

And the token will only be more an more expensive

[TheDeeGee]

Here i thought i could buy a Skin Color change with 1 Token... guess not cuz that costs 15 Euros.

FU Blizzard with your EU shafting.

Brazilian player need to buy 6 tokens to get a character boost

[Phototropic]

Bloody hell... I was hoping it'd return to 130k... but 180k?! Gonna have to buy me some when I get home!

Fun fact. If you bought tokens in Europe when they released the US news they were at 111k and you'd make profit now by buying gold with your balance

Fuck you Blizzard with your EU shafting.

and then you realize your tax is included in the price where it isn't in the states that add tax in the US

[flowy]

Is it safe to say the token will never be 120k on EU again ? because last night when it came out I bought like 7 tokens when ppl just found out on NA and barely ppl on EU knew about this implementation.

[chronia]

Yup, it's pretty standard that game companies don't know how conversion rates work(Euro = Dollars apparently), but I really don't think it's too much to ask to at least keep the relative prices consistent within each currency.

Not even only game companies, in a alot of businesses this is the case, for example i also see this very often with Computer parts / IT equipment. Though i think this also has to do with taxes as US prices are generally without tax and EU prices are generally already including taxes (which average around 20% i believe in europe, 21% even for us Dutchies).

Why? Gold prices will settle around that fact. And people why pay for the service in the first place aren't affected anyways.

You can already see the US prices play catch-tup. When Eu had 100k, US still had 30k. ratio 3:1. Currently its aleady caught up to 2:1 (US prices rising more daramtically then EU prices, EU is still below 200k, US is around 100k).


This would be "unfair" if you could use US tokens for EU services, which you can't. Otherwise supply and demand will regulate the gold price of the token to a value each region sees fit.

[ghostblade]

you know whats even worse... China, Taiwan and korea are all dropping back to there old prices.... Yet EU and Us are stil increasing because basicly everything is sold out stil.... kinda shows which regions do sell the tokens more and which don't.
