Is it allowed to make a russian account with a VPN and buy the cheper subscription?  
For almost half the price even a character transfer to the russian account would be worth.

Western europ is wealthy enough to have full price. CCP decides who pays how much. Not many players in Russia would pay western price. So CCP lowers prices and earns more, because more peoples pay.

Honestly, thats not my problem and I don’t care that much.  
I’m sure that the russians are hard working people and I wish them to earn much more than they do right now.  
43% is a big deal, you won’t get that ever in the EU. If it’s not against the rules, I would take that deal.

Probably only filing a support ticket can get you an assured answer to that question.

About € 7,00 a month!!! That is not a big deal; you’re a cheap ■■■■. One pack of fags is more expensive nowadays and every self respecting smoker smokes at least a pack day.

Thanks. Good idea. I‘ll do that.

With those prices you could pay for two accounts and still pay less 6,95€ vs 14,95€ (one month sub).  
Actually, you pay the most, if you pay in EUR for the same thing.  
If you want to pay for something more that you should, than thats fine too. It‘s your money, you are free to do with it whatever you want 🙂

1. There are homeless people in US too. They don’t play games, they fight for survival.

That’s not what your first link shows…Russia is about at least 50% less than most western nations for GDP. Admittedly, I’m not totally sure what you mean by “production power”.

If you’re poor, ask your government where all the money is… Russia is not poor…

Or… fix your own ■■■■ before complaining about others…

Plex prices wrong, ok. But why you then pay twice prices for all other products? You pay 1EU for any 1 kilo cucumbers that costs 0.5EU in Russia?
