Russian prices for Russian players.

Why should Russian players get points for cheaper? All that would do is get a whole bunch of people to use a VPN or something and pretend they are in Russia when they buy points to get a discount.

Okay. If someone is so cheap with MTX that they want their packets to travel halfway around the world to a server farm before being processed by PoE servers, I say let 'em.

That's pretty much what I'd recommend. Give each gateway an MTX price multiplier. If you buy your MTXs at a certain multiplier you can't log into gateways with a higher multiplier. You can upgrade your MTX price multiplier, and therefore your available gateways, by paying the difference on the MTXs you already have.

Go ahead and spoof Russian, American cheapasses.

You guys had Russian prices on Russian GArena, and they folded because they didn't make enough money. Doesn't sound like you guys are spending enough in the first place to make it worthwhile to implement this.

Unlikely. PoE wasn't their only franchise there. Moreover, had you played Garena, you would have seen just as much in the way of mtx as there is here.

So you're saying that even though they had multiple titles on the platform, and that the lower priced MTX where quite heavily purchased, they still had to shut it down?

Kind of sounds like an even worse idea to implement it here then.

I'm from lithuania (I don't think it deserves a capitol letter L), poverty here is astronomic too, very comparable to Russia, government deliberately raises minimum wage here ot strip off benefits, such as free meals in schools, allowances and most importantly subsidies for heating bills. I earn min wage (like 350 euros/month) out of that in winter for exmaple i gotta pay 250 euros just to cover the bills, i can not even imagine what horrors people which rent apartments endure, cause to rent a 1 room apartment in capitol atm is 300/400 eur/month... its sick.. I dont have iphone or anything like that, my smartphone is 5 years old, car is.. i dont have a car i ride a bicycle. The poverty is fucking everywhere so i got suggestion:

Discounts in prices for entire africa, asia(except rich places such as japan, Formosa island of China, singapore, south korea etc), whole of eastern europe, south and central america, also oceania

stop it you all, you are not special. There are poor people even in rich countries.
There is no reason to give special prices because you come from a particular part of world.

Game is free goddamit, if you want mtx just play temp leagues and try to win challenges effects.

I come from slovenia, my salary is 600 euro month, my rent is 400 euro month. You see me asking special slovenian prices?

price are too high but GGG should lower them for everyone not for special countries.

So, how much have you spent on mtx?
(if you start explaining why you've spent so little or none at all, you missed the point of this thread)

The reason Garena left Russia was almost certainly not economical. There are a lot of new laws coming into force in the near future, that will adversely affect a lot of Internet companies. Garena is not the first to leave and probably won't be the last.

You are the only man who clearly unterstood my point.

Everybody understood your point. You can tell they understood it because they were arguing against it with sensible points which related to what you were saying.

You can understand stuff without having to agree with it.
