Wtf has happened to gold prices

[Dazzj10]

Gree how the hell can you justify gold price increases,
You screw us over time and time again and instead of compensating for all your cock ups, you increase gold by nearly 30%

Great move





And Carlos says gree are ****s

[DaMiAn-SoLiD]

gold price up 31% in Uk

:(

[Atego]

Also in germany. New price for the Vault of Gold = 114,99 €uro

[mwfighter]

This is Apple increasing app and in-app purchases.

They increased prices in Canada, Europe and Australia.

Its due to currency exchange rates (ie. US Dollar gaining strength)

[Ozymandias]

Wow, just wow.

[Hobbs]

Noticed this too,absolute joke with all the issues this game has.
It's already more expensive for gold/gems then any other game I've seen,the product is inferior to most Apps too.
They should reduce prices rather then increase them,way I see it is they just return to original price or less to be honest,either this or make health/energy refills cost less I.e 10 or 15 gold.
If GREE keep with this pricing policy I will go gold free personally,enough is enough :(

As a Canadian we have Canadian Apple Accounts but we pay in American Dollars. So why the Fudge would our prizes go up 20%. And still showing American currency?? When I buy a vault it was already charging me in American currency and my Visa would convert it to Canadian.

[Who dares wins]

It is not apple it is GREE Apple do not have the rights to increase such a amount

At current rates UK price of £91.99 per vault equates to around $140,how much is a vault in US?

[Slippo]

Currency exchange rates? Hmm must be using a different calculator to me then as £92 (British Pound) for a vault is $140 not $99.99

['MAU' Mirsad-Ra]

Why didn't Gree/Apple correct the Currency when the American dollar was weak for the last 3 Years!!!

$99.99 US for vault, no increase

[smbass77]

no increase here either, in the US

[Ozymandias]

Gone up in KA, but no complaints on crime city yet

[thunder]

Gree cannot charge more than US dollar 99.99 at a time. Apple rules

This does not happen with me, all prices and charges are in CAD not USD.

Only time I've been charged USD is when I changed my iTunes Country to U.S.A. because someone gave me a $100 US iTunes Card as a gift.

[Atego]

The Vault prizes are different

114,99 Euro = 135,32 USD
99,99 USD = 84,97 Euro
91,99 £ = 117,77 € or 138,59 USD

Gree we need you to normalise the price of gold globally. Yes you will make less profit in certain regions, but it will be fairer to your players. Otherwise just shut up shop in Europe, we don't earn 40% more than the Americans so we can't afford to pay 40% more for the same thing.

[Ozymandias]

What are android prices now?

Sounds like the people in Europe were getting a great deal, since the Euro is 40% higher than the US dollar. Seems like GREE evened out the playing field now

[Captain Buck Slayer]

This is apples doing, not gree.

[Captain Steelman]

Let me tell you, guys..... If there is something we know and are really good at here in Sweden it is taxes.... So let me give it to you... The vault price has been raised:

45,7 %

:eek:

right, and the Euro is 45-47% more valuable than the US dollar. So it sounds like GREE evened the playing field now. No more big discounts to Europeans.

What? It's always cost more in dollar terms in Europe, now it's even more expensive... $140 in the uk

[Dave Gould]

It is plan wrong to say Europe had a discount. With increase in Uk it now costs 50 DOLLARS more for me to buy a vault compared to an American

[crazeejay]

If this isn't a wake up call for all you gold spending addicts, there's no helping you now.......LOL

[Greeny1]

Droid is still the same at the moment, so buy it on droid. But this could be the end of the road for Gree games with these prices. Less people buying for poor service, lots will go gold free and it will die

[Hobbs]

Math obviously not your strong point,UK now paying around $140 for a vault and I believe US is still $99.99.
Before price was £69.99 which is around $104 either way UK/EURO always paid more.
Get a grown up to work it out for you!!!

[Rolinz]

Another nail in this MW coffin.

You clearly don't know how exchange rates work do you ?

To do the maths for you a vault in UK used to be £69.99 (which is $105), now it is £92 ($140).

Where were these big discounts ? lol

[DEWIN NUTTIN]

I'll lay you 15 to 1, well, you know. LOO

Oh, if only (INSERT DEITY OF CHOICE) attends to your sweet words of wisdom.

Hi everyone,

For more information regarding the recent price increase for players in the EU/Canada region, please refer to this post (http://forums.gree.net/showthread.php?103992-Apple-s-EU-Canada-pricing-changes)

[Hobbs]

If that is the case and apple have implemented the change GREE have a choice to offer the effected countries players more gold for the money to level the playing field or reduce price to reflect the changes.
It's that or risk losing a considerable proportion of its paying customers.
I can only talk from my experience,the faction I'm in is consistently top5/10 and has players from many countries.
Every member who is effected and spoke on chat about it refuses to continue buying gold at this rate,I'd expect a lot more to follow suit from many factions.
Gold free or delete game is the general opinion right now...
If enough go gold free everyone need not spend so much,think on GREE this is potentially a Game And Revenue Killer....

[Captain Steelman]

Over the years there has been voices calling for a boycott of the game for different reasons... They have always failed and Gree most likely just laughed about it... But now I have a feeling Gree will experience the force of a gold boycott... But this is just my 0.02 USD

Or my 0.03 GBP :)
But as I thread in another thread::


I have iOS and droid. So for the moment I can still purchase off the play store for a cheaper price. Possibly anyone who has a PC could install bluestacks, link their account and purchase cheaper. I think.

[Vercingetorix]

Apple is apparently changing the way they pay/collect the VAT. Are the countries that are seeing a huge increase subject to a VAT. Here in USA we are not. There does not appear to be a substantial difference in the exchange rates between the Euro and the US dollar.

But in the US we are charged a sales tax on purchases so a 99.99 vault really costs around 110 after taxes. This may be off for some depending on the state in which they reside.

they charge taxes to everyone
same in Canada, I pay for a vault $99.99, plus Taxes, so cost is similar to the USA $110, now they are charging $119.99 PLUS TAX.............so a vault will actually cost $132
