So i was thinking if BR is getting discounts in WPE since they make less money than US, Why arent any of the asian countries not getting a discount too? Like Philippines, Malaysia Indonesia etc etc. I mean im all up for fairness and equal footing in all aspects, So why not give such service to them as well? Im sure they would also be just as grateful.

because indonesia is a cashcow duhhh

but they make less than US. thats the reason BR is getting a discount. so even the playing field DUH

[ZeroTigress]

The so-called "discounts" are just adjusted prices in accordance to the common income range of the corresponding countries. It also depends on what payment options are available to those outside of the US and some of those companies take a cut.

[ShinobiEX3]

so give the Asians a cut Br still have their own RO the other ro companies shut down so give them some discount ^.^

[Demeris]

Or if you don't like the price... just don't buy it

[Biggggg]

Because to many people have sisters in Malaysia to buy WPE for them. So they can't give them a "discount" for WPE.

[ChakriGuard]

Because some people believe that Asians have high IQ and they make a lot of money. They Asian Americans are believed to have the highest average income in the US. Wait not really ... I'm taking about East Asians. People need to see the differences between East Asians and South East Asians :/

 

So yes I agree. South East Asian players need to have discounts too

Here in the Philippines the current conversion is $1:Php49.00 at average. 

Metro Manila and other first class municipalities daily minimum wage is Php 490.00 at most. Excluding the withholding payments if you are entitled for future benefits.

 

$10 is a day's work here with average players. Rarely, will they spend with this kind of luxury. Hence, Pinoy players are keen in farming.

 

Working irl and working in game. Can't complain though.

 

Won't quit unless all my luck in game ran out at the same time.

I think bundled price is good enough
For example, 10 dollars for 1k wpe, 40 dollars for 5k wpe, 75 dollars for 10k wpe (not exactly like this, but you get the idea)

For each region it comes down to what payment processors we are able to partner with for individual countries. If you have suggestions I am sure that the payment team would be happy to hear them usually the payment processor that is unique to a region will have the regional pricing.

 

Since I have a feeling that this is going to be coming up a lot now I will do a write up explaining it tomorrow.

Don't forget Australia and NZ!!

I think places like Indonesia, Thailand, Bali, Malaysia and Philippines etc should definitely fall under this, I get a month of their average salary per week and I don't do a thing :X

but....but...sir bali is in indonesia....

 

 

anyway the price is indeed a bit expensive in indonesia currency but well.....i doubt a lot of indonesian do donation so it wont affect that much, but still tho a lower price is always welcome

True, though a lot of Balinese people I met liked to refer to Bali as it's own place so... :U

Yea give us discounts to minimize alcohol intake...srsly , A Mucho bottle of Red Horse is more appealing than a box of 100HD Brad/Cad if we look at the price tags

Are we gonna use the Big Mac Index to set WPE price around the world?

I see. IF that's the case I'd suggest for each region atleast some kind of discount it doesn't have to equal br exactly since each region area is different but atleast a helpful discount so it's more appealing to playing to spend a bit more and keep playing happily. I'LL wait until I see the write up before I give more thoughts.

Anyone down to fly to Brazil for an over night stay? We can pick up some of this great priced WPE so many people are crying about

Seems like a better idea then to work for 30min so we can get some WPE.

I can't tell if you know what we are talking about or just thinking about yourself? No one in this post is saying people from the US should get a cheaper rate on WPE.
