Buying EC in Canada(etc.) is getting real stupid and pointless.

[GoodRiddance]

I wish there was a way to fix this. The Canadian dollar is just really low and this is one of those times where it matters. I remember when CAD and USD were equal or close to equal, even CAD became higher at one point but not for long.

Now you have to buy a 30 dollar and two 10 dollar cards so 50 bucks to get 30 dragon eggs or 30k EC MINIMUM.

Or you can charge 30 dollars USD and we have to spend 42.66 (and it rises daily, it was $41 just 2 weeks ago) to get 30 dragon eggs or a costume for a character.
I've seen tons of players refusing to buy NX because they just can't afford it the way it is now, and obviously tons of people like me who would have spent 2x the amount of NX if it wasn't for the extra 12+ bucks we have to spend on top of 30.

As of now the Canadian Dollar is 0.74c US.
I just can't afford to spend 122+taxes/fees = $128 for 90 dragon eggs or 85 bucks for 60 eggs.

Anyone else getting really frustrated about this?

[Spera]

Definitely man, i've spent like $140 cad for 100k EC. Not doing it again until something happens about this.

[Syntonism]

The exchange rates make sense really. It's just that since we've gone from all dollars being equal to dollars being based on their actual value it's now become more obvious to us outside the US how expensive stuff is in the cash shop.

Since it's digital products being sold meaning you cant really lose money once initial costs are covered, I do wonder how returning to the original model and likely selling more stuff would compare to the current model of people paying more and likely buying less.

[QueenBooms]

its about the same problem for Australians too but there really isnt anything we can do about it

[Owl]

Can confirm, same for NZ as well. I don't see the issue, its not just EC that costs different, everything else is different too. The numbers just make it seem BS (which it is, but ppl still buy)

[Shs]

You should be complaining to Trudeau, not the DN forums.

Find a way to increase the demand for CAD, we need more valuable exports.

[Alne]

Yeah, it's not like there's anything ED can do to help us Canadians. We just have to hope, I guess.










Maybe coax some rich Americans over too

[RichGoldBuyer]

Once you have a well paying job these conversion rates are just a drop in the bucket.

I buy lots of EC no problem. Don't see what the big deal is.

lol you're such a joke, some people have debts and student loans to pay, even if you have a well paying job we are spending 43 dollars for 30 bucks for a gamble / virtual items. It's still a nuisance.

Shs, yeah I know lol it's pathetic. Nobody wants our resources. RIP the dollar is going to continue to plummet.

[Cygnus]

meh, screw it, might as well come in with snark.

Why not just find a job in the states that pays well and then use USD to buy your EC. Seriously, go work in silicon valley. You'll make 6 figures as an entry level worker

>Implying that most people who play DN are actually smart enough to get the qualifications to work there, let alone even get there in the first place

[Shs]

People aren't born smarter than others. All education is possible with effort. The fact that people don't even want to put in the effort to move to a country where their work is worth more just goes to show people fail because they are too lazy, they do not put effort into things that matter in their lives.

[RichGoldBuyer]

If you become smart and educated like me gold and EC is no problem. Got a seven figure job and a top position at one of the wealthiest companies in the world. If you work hard you can buy whatever you want in this game whether it's gold, fd or ec.

Why settle for less? Be the best.

[Alne]

Ok, buy why are you playing Dragon Nest then?

Why aren't you playing one of those elitist MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV?

Or do you have that much time to spare from your job that you can play several MMOs and be good at all of them?

[Tiyara]

Yeah if i want more ec ill just beg for more likes. Kappa

[vara]

yeah man global economics sure sucks

Trump is that you?

[Belladonna]

I don't understand why it's an issue. This is probably the fairest method of going about it, because if it was changed so that 30 CAD (Or any other currency) yielded the same amount of EC/ET as 30 USD, there would always be one side complaining that it's not fair that someone gets to pay less for the same amount.

[iLLbeURaPPLEFarm]

Tired of your country's currency having a poor USD conversion rate? Well then I have a solution for you.

Apples of Life don't rely on real world economics. For many caps the value has remained the same regardless of the ups and downs in the real world. Be the Best. Be an Apple farmer today.
