Wrong pricing (Euro) ?

Hello,

Recently, I've noticed that the transaction rate from USD to EUR is very off.
Take for example the latest 50$ 5* shards deal.

It costs me 54.99E, but it only costs 50$, which should be about 42E.

I'd like to know why I'd be paying 13E more than needed ?

Thanks in advance,

Lo4.

    I've refrained from buying any deals for the past 3 or 4 months, so I havent noticed, just noticed this by accident today.

    They do adjust currency from time to time, check with apple/google(depending on your OS) when next adjustment is planed.

    And how much VAT does your country charge?

    I'm in Slovakia, but I'm pretty sure the prices are the same across Europe, correct me if I'm wrong

    Is it Kabam or Google Play that set the prices/exchange rates ?

    Kabam sets a cost in usd.
    Google adjusts

    Is that a monthly adjustment ? What im asking is if there's a readjustment coming soon, i plan on buying some deals sometime soon but dont wanna pay 20% more....

    I don't think its Kabam. That is iTunes, and all prices in the European stores are slightly higher due to certain taxes. Even if you go to the normal iTunes store and buy a song, it costs more in Euro than in USD.

    Those prices are kabam prices Not google And am in EU stopped buying since before the change but the change of prices stops me from buying anything
  • Lo4eathLo4eath Posts: 309 ★
    It doesn't really make sense, if we have to pay 10%+ for the same thing just because they're biased to US :P

    This has already been discussed as FALSE. Kabam sets ONE price in USD for their application. The APP STORES then make adjustments to the price based on country/ currency. It's entirely possible (I've seen it) where Google charges LESS than iOS for a period of time until they catch on and change the exchange rate as well.

    Wow... Ignorance must be so awesome...

    If you are playing on an Android device, you are paying the GOOGLE set prices... If you are playing on an iOS device, you are paying the APPLE set prices. ALL in app purchasing is done though by the app stores on the back end.

    Stop spouting garbage you know nothing about.

    What the deuce are you talking about? There are no "other stores". Search the forums and you will find this discussion in other threads. There HAS been confirmation from KABAM that they set 1 price and that is in USD.

    The community needs the correct information, not needless garbage speculation you are spreading. If a new player logs into the forums and sees your INCORRECT information that does NOT help the community.

    Educate yourself.

    @Kabam Miike feel free to chime in here. I'm done with this thread. It's like explaining something to a barn door.
  • Lo4eathLo4eath Posts: 309 ★
    Yeah, a clarification would be nice
