Why are the prices for the x-men crystal bundles different for some players
Same alliance, same country - different price
$39.99 for one player
$62.99 for another

Why the difference????

    They don't have different prices for different Players. Their prices are fixed, and the platform adjusts based on Taxes and Exchange Rates, depending on the area.

    As I said before same area, same country.
    My alliance mate noticed price was $62.99 in the morning then when he logged in later in the afternoon it was cheaper at $39.99, but mine was still the same price at $62.99
    How do you explain that one....

    Occasionally the game will sign in with the U.S prices. It's happened to me before. I'm in Canada. When I restarted the game, it was back to my region.

    It probably defaulted to U.S. Dollars when he signed in. It happens. Are you outside of the U.S.?

    Australian dollars are worth less then US dollars aren't they? As the dollar sign appears the same it would be hard to tell.. I'm in UK and often get prices in US a restart solves it..

    As I said price was the same as mine then became cheaper .... same country, same currency, didn’t change to US prices was in Aussie dollars .... don’t worry I’ll put my tin foil hat on and run along

    I wasn't the one that said you were wearing a tin foil hat. What I'm telling you is the game is set in U.S. Dollars. The platform (Apple, Android) adjusts the prices depending on what Country you live in. Sometimes the Locator doesn't activate when you sign in, and it shows the default as U.S. Dollars. It's rare, but it happens. What you're seeing is the U.S. price. There are not separate prices for Players based on spending habits. There are select Offers for newer Players, such as the one-time Unit Deal, and there are sometimes Offers that are platform-specific, but Players don't get special discounts like that.

    Well, internationally, deals are always hit or miss... Take Europe for example... 40 USD are about 32 EUR... yet in Germany we are asked to pay 43 EUR for the same deal... (equals 53 USD)

    That‘s a 33% price increase! I mean, it‘s not like they have to ship the crystals over the Atlantic... XD

    Part of it is the conversion. The other part is Taxes. It all depends on your local Taxes.

    @GroundedWisdom is correct. There was a thread about this a few days ago and here is the reply from the moderator.

    @NizZard If I had to guess why we are seeing different rates in the pictures it is most likely because the system did not recognize the location of your friend. Or maybe your friend does not currently have his account set up correctly with Google Play or iTunes.
