    I'm not a person who complains much, let me clear that up. But this time I just have to express my concern about this matter.

    So it's been like 2-3 weeks since I last donated and when I wanted to donate again last night I noticed something.

    This is the situation now.

    This how it was a few weeks back. (SAME PRICE AS NOW, MORE CREDITS!!)
    [​IMG]

    This in summer. (SAME CREDITS AS NOW, LOWER PRICE)
    [​IMG]

    One example. Now you get 5.500 credits for 25€, good for one elite arbiter part and 2k credits left. Before you got 7.700 credits for 25€, good for two elite arbiter parts and you still had 700 credits left. See?
    Let's make a quick calculation. Now it's ± 350€ to get full geared (39k credits; 17.5k set, 18k access set w/head, 3.5k weapon) whereas before it was only 250±€. That's just ridiculous tbh.
    It's smart tho, I do have to admit that. I'm sure the admins are well aware of the fact that most players don't donate to support the server, but to get credits which they can purchase items with. On the way it is now, you're kind of 'forced' to pay this much to get the actual items you want.

    If this was a decision from Gamez, then gg. You guys can sure afford to lose even more players. Anyway in this case me & everyone else will just have to deal with it. However then I'd like to make a suggestion. Why don't you guys implement something like "double donation day" once a a month. That one day of the month players will receive double the amount of credits for the money they donate. I honestly do think this way you guys will get way more money, and that's where it's all about, no? CEO's happy, players happy. What more do you want?
    If this was a decision made by PaymentWall, then it's maybe Gamez' task to contact them & get things back as they were before, right?

    @Staff members; please don't throw the following to my head, since I'm well aware of that. It's not what the whole post is about anyway.
    @Forum members; whenever you have something decent to add to this, feel free to do so.

    @Carl @Alente @Lautaro
    I'd appreciate if you guys could give any explanation/feedback about this.

    I also noticed this. They sure made the prices higher when the prices were already high enough. Back a few weeks ago I was able to get 2500 credits for $25 Australian dollars now It's $31.88 for 2500 credits so a massive $6.88 increase? Sounds greedy and desperate to me, considering there was not even any announcement to warn players about the price changes. I mean we're talking about $6 dollar increase here, not a $1 dollar increase, I just think the community deserved an explanation or warning.

    With all the bugs and major things not working such as broker I think they should of lowered prices rather then increase.

    I hope with all this extra money that they will be making, That they will atleast hire some good devs who can actually fix bugs within a desirable time.

    Anyway I'll not be donating any time soon.

    I'm not surprised at all.
    Increasing the prices is easier than fixing bugs. I mean..takes much less effort than the other one, isn't it. c:

    Just gonna go out on a limb here and guess it's because all prices are based on USD and the currency value fluctuates (last summer euros were worth more (.7~ euro = 1 USD) USD than they are now (.9 Euro = 1 USD)). I'm not sure about last month or the month before that to be honest, though. Either that or if the worth of the USD is increasing then EVERYONE else may have to pay more, in the end.

    (I can only assume this because the price in USD never changes. Like it has always been the same forever lol)

    Anyway, this is just my guess. I may not be right. Also, I have a feeling it is the donation websites themselves changing the prices bases on the changes in rates, not Carl.

    As said above, recently Eruos have dropped to be closer to the dollar than it was ever before therefore the fluctuations in the values have changed, shooting the price up automatically. I doubt the administration has anything to do with this unless they are controlling the value of the Euro.

    Makes sense, I'm a frequent donor. The prices never seemed to fluctuate or change, the only instance where the price might be different is of course with SuperRewards. They don't have the little extra bonus in credits. HOWEVER, if you haven't already. Check it out to look at the new payment method called Oink. Even if you only purchase once with this method like I did. No matter what amount you purchase. You get an extra 2.5k on top of it. $25 USD value. I don't know if it's still going on as the offer only works with the first purchase. =] OH and if you want really awesome rates, move to the United Arab Emirates. It's a 1USD to 3.6 AED. xp

    1$ = 100 credits, 1$ = 0.92€ so it should be 500 credits = 4.6€, 1k credits = 9.2€, 2,5k credits = 23€, 5k = 46€ etc. but it's not idk why maybe one of CEO's will explain it or not. It's not a big difference but still while buying 5k you pay 4€ more than you should and it's almost 500 credits ;P
