Guild Wars 2

Just noticed this, but is there a reason why EU PVP weapon/armor vendor sell stuff for 2-4sliver less than NA vendors?

It’s a tax on NA for being less esports

weak dollar-euro conversion rate, silver a failing commodity, etc.

Josh Davis.6015:

The items the vendors sell differ based on your character level. At level 1, you get level 1 armor for copper. At level 80, you get level 80 white gear for a few silver.

My guess is the character you’re playing on EU is much lower level than your NA account.

Granted that makes perfect sense, but lets not let the facts get in the way of wild speculation.
Um… maybe it’s because it’s the import tax? Mailing those items all the way to America must be expensive. Production was probably outsourced to third world countries in Africa or something :P

I suggest taking advantage of this before Europe falls into financial crisis and has to increase tax drastically, just like America.

Or you can just believe what Josh said…

Its Putin´s fault.

This is most likely directly linked to the “hidden” account luck that determines all drops and mystic forge results.

Empirical studies will be necessary to get to the bottom of this. For science!

The illuminati are attacking our currency!!!

Is VAT included in the listed price?

I suspect Ellen Kiel is the true culprit in this economic manipulation. Either her or Scarlett…. Only time will tell.

Since when bigger taxes equal better economy? It is exactly the opposite – in times of crisis, the taxes should be greatly decreased, so people can produce more goods to cover government’s debts.

If there is no crisis, then you -potentially- could allow yourself to increase taxes and let the money go to waste, because more taxes equals more money wasted.
