Originally posted by Puremallace For the life of me I cannot understand what it is you're going on about, but you don't seem to be on the mark. The OP is talking about Guild Wars 2 being overpriced in Europe. Many have responded saying, in the US, it's the same price as any other game. I'm not sure why this is, but EU and US are paying disproportionate amounts of money for the same editions of the game. I don't recall anyone asking you to jump off a bridge.

Originally posted by Puremallace i would think you are liking to pain and trouble yourself somehow, because with these expectatione why are you even following the game. Because basicly 1) is something that ArenaNet is not eving aiming for. I think you are dreaming of another game 2) ArenaNet have already stated long time ago that the dynimic event system in most case would not scale to over 10-15 people. So why do you expect more? 3) there really is no endgame ! The game starts at lvl 1, and its the same game at lvl 80. How can that part be hard to get. Honest oppinions you already have, but maybe some you can belive at next bwe. 4) why do you think you can stop people qouting TB and other reviev-celeberties ?? Just becuase you dont care for their oppinion, why should there praise not be mentioned? I think you are troubling yourself alot with thesse demands. And basicly claiming that you are not remotely interested just sounds like being in denial with the activities you actual put into following this game? Have you considered that ? read how to create a succesfull mmo before posting about GW2. And read tao of ArenaNet before talking about innovation in GW2 |

Well, I ordered my prepurchase on Amazon for ~49 Euro. That's pretty standard. I agree that the price is pretty high for the British gamers, but I guess you could find a retailer offering the game at your usual price tag. You just need to look harder and have some luck. |

hahahaha, like 5 months ago I said that the box and expansions would be more expensive than other mmos. Oh man, how much fodder I caught for that.
Glad to see I can say " I told you so".

Originally posted by someforumguy Are we taking into concern conversions and the like? I'm not trying to debate this too hard, but there are many tarriffs and such I'm sure UK people might be running into that us as NA consumers might not have to incur. I can't justify it either way don't know enough about it to be honest. /shrug  PM before you report at least or you could just block. |

Originally posted by seastarx Its a difference of £10 or $15 dollars actually. Its why all other brand new games that are $60 in the US are only £40 in the UK. That is the correct conversion, including VAT. |

Originally posted by DiSpLiFF Well, here in the US, TOR and Rift were $59.99... Guild Wars 2 is $59.99... Personally, I never doubted that the box price would cost any less than $59.99... So here's a picture of a spaceship launching.

Originally posted by Vesavius Well, we can guess what we want. But the OP just compared to other games he bought for full price. Thats the only thing he can really go on. And I agree that he should shop around, but still all this doesnt explain the huge price difference. I expected a higher price then US price, which is often also the case with subs etc when you have to pay in pounds or euros, but never seen a 33% increase yet. That is very steep. Also I wonder if you can even compare to the US price, because that price has 10% sales tax included. Which is a consumer tax for american citizens. VAT should replace that when the item is exported, so the difference in price can be even higher. |

Originally posted by Serelisk TOR and RIFT are P2P service games not F2P cash shop games. I can't think of a F2P cash shop game that charges an up front fee to play. Paying an extra $60 and not getting game shop gems seems steep to me. |

It's not a F2P title with in built walls to force you in to the cash shop, it's a B2P title with a discretionary cash shop, the quality and content of the game is far superior to that of any built for F2P game. You get what you pay for :) |

Originally posted by DiSpLiFF hahahaha, i still paid 60 euros for GW2,same price as SW:TOR. The only overpricing is going on is for brittish people and they can still get it cheaper if they do a little research.
Glad to see people not being able to use their brain.

You're really desperate aren't you? The OP is not talking about the cash shop. If you want to discuss the cash shop, take it somewhere else.
