the other point is; BBs will never do that because they will surely lose money witout increasing the price in "richer" countries..


look on it, like the bleachers prices in low devision. if you put 'em on 20 you would have an empty arena, and gain less money then when you sell it for 10 bucks and get the people into the arena who want to watch the game.

Many companys work with that system, and no they don't finance it with high prices in the rich countrys and sell it just out of humanity in poor countrys. But they know if they don't sell it they don't get money through it.

in the system i proposed, rich people (maybe unintentionally) help poor people in their country by buying Supporter first..
if you are a wealthy person, it doesn't matter if you are from USA or China, $12 for three-months Supporter is no


even poor people in wealthy country could buy supporter, where in poor country only the rich people don't care about money and even the workers would notivce the missing money. here an Ukrainian makes the example that his dad earn 5000 Dollars a year and raised a familie with it. Now imagine, him in an country like the US with the same amount of money and the difference 60 bucks could make then.

And like seelenjäger says, with your system the rich countrys would pay less for supporterships, because even the poor people could afford it and so most people who wants it just buy it.

Ok, heres where this is going... I'm unemployed, can I have supporter for free seeing as I don't earn any money?

There should be no difference between what people pay for supporter, if someone in a 'poorer' country has to pay less for exactly the same things as I get, Theres no way I will pay it (and im certain that will be the case for a lot of other people). Why should I be worse off because of where I'm from?

Like whats been said before, this is a game, a free game at that... Gaming is a luxury, as are most other things in life, if you cannot afford said luxury, then you save up til you can.. It is my decision to spend $40 a year on supporter, if I couldnt afford it, I wouldnt buy it.. Simple.

Do car dealers and estate agents charge less money for people who are less wealthy? No, those people have to work harder and save harder for the things they want, or they dont get it...

I'm not trying to offend anyone, nor cause any disrespect. But that is life..

Yes, they do. Cars cost less in other markets.

Because of supply and demand... Not because people go into a showroom and say 'I only earn this much so can only afford to pay 50% of your list price'

Because of goods having a market value in an economy system.

This is not meant to be a price-on-appliance. You only have to take a look around to see that in certain markets the supporter package is so overpriced that there´s no demand (for that price).

All we´re suggesting is an adjustment of the price to the market to balance supply and demand. We´re not talking about makein supportership so cheap virtually everyone can / will buy it.

If you can get a Boeing 747 for the price of a Matchbox Car, you go by your own need and buy a plane if you want to fly and a matchbox car if you want to play with it. If the Matchbox Car has the price of a Boeing 747, you wouldnt consider buying it no matter if you "want" it or not.

Let the market balance the price. That´s all. And make a "market" by putting compareable regions in the same "pot".

they usually don't communicate it, but there was a some seasons ago where they had a question in that direction - so they obviously though about it in the past(but they doesn't realisiied it but don't ask me for reason why^^).
