Just curious as to why 4k gems =
$50
£42.50
€50

shouldn’t all the prices equal to the same amount.

£42.50 = $66.30 so paying $16 more for same transaction

Taxes. Same applies to Blizzard and other companies.

You can go to the BLTC sub-forum and read (and post on) many threads about this issue. =)

That’s basically the ratio that everyone uses. Just check out the prices for the next gen consoles.

XBox One – $499.99, £429.99, €499.99 – 1 to 0.86 to 1
PS4 – $399, £349, €399 – 1 to 0.875 to 1
GW2 – $50, £42.50, €50 – 1 to 0.85 to 1

It’s to cover VAT, exchange rate fees and currency fluctuation. If anything GW2 favors the UK more than Microsoft or Sony.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

RIP City of Heroes
