So I'm from Denmark and the 15710 crystal pack cost 799kr that's equal to 121 American dollars.. In the states that pack cost 99 dollars.. That kinda seem really unfair to the player base in this game... Other players from other countries have the same issue?

    Game used to be fun when it wasn't a grind... if I wanted a grind I would have went and played old school Everquest or some Korean MMO!

    You have something called "moms" on all merchandise that's 25% on top, but when companies pay that they get 20% back at some point

    1) find a friend in the US that can just make you a temporary itunes account. Have him give you the username and password
    2)log into that account on your phone. Since that account is linked to the US app store, prices for crystals will come up in American dollars instead of denmark pesos or whatever
    3)idk about this part but transfer denmark money to american to put $ in the US itunes you have. Not sure how easy that will be but it would probably be simple to buy an american itunes giftcard off amazon or something like that if you cant figure it out.
    4)make the purchase, then sign back into your regular itunes accout

    "Danes pay very high taxes, but in return enjoy a quality of life that many Americans would find hard to believe."

    Citizens of Denmark do not have to worry about paying the exorbitant cost of college tuition, and they do not have to worry about healthcare coverage, either. Stop complaining about a VAT on a 100% discretionary IAP on an otherwise free game.

    Lol

    so I found that exchange rates were crap as well, but it's actually Apple that sets official exchange rates for all in-app purchases. Look it up, it's true. EA is, for once, not the enemy here.

    It's $139.99 Canadian on the Google play store currently , with tax that comes to $158.19.

    I'll just buy a pack with the money I didn't have to pay on health insurance.

    No we don't pay for college, but then again I would love to have the same taxes as you do, we have the highest pressure in the world... It's not a whine, it's a simple thing about having same drawbacks or benefits in a game. Should be equal for all no matter what platform you play or where you come from period.

    Not true.

    It's really expensive for EA to do business in Denmark

    The costs your government put up is passed on to you

    Well we suffer the same problems with our elderly population, they have build up the country to what it is, but won't get more then a shower every 14 days plus some of the other things you mention.. This country is very expensive to live in, and we also have poor people.. This have absolutely nothing to do with payments in a game that's available worldwide with mixing countries... It would be the same for me to tell you stop policing the world and use your money on your own people instead, it's out of context.. It's not my fault your country go total liberal and **** on its people, most politicians do.
