Everyone in the world might pay Asian grinders the same for work, but when you buy directly from a game company you rarely pay the same. EvE, WoW, Every EA game out there, Microsoft, Steam, ITunes, Even cloud storage rates tend to be higher. You will find that some providers (Like EvE) will actually ban you if you try to buy something in a currency that is cheaper than yours.

Now, WG keeps their servers separated so its not a huge deal really. If an American was to play on RU servers, then guess what.. The American would get the RU discount too!.

You might feel it should be fair, but I can guarantee you that its not… I have purchased British made goods in the USA to import them back to the UK because buying abroad and importing (paying tax and shipping) the items were still cheaper than buying locally.

When you sell products you sell at what the local market can stand, not what would be the best global average.

So much for Wargaming being a ‘Global’ company… every server should be treated equally concerning offers under normal circumstances…

It’s all about virtual items so the price must be the same everywhere. That’s what you don’t understand.

In all fairness, with the cost of items now tied to the USD (Why is RU and US tied?, eh, 2nt world nations together I guess) then these huge discounts on the RU server might not be as high as some of you are thinking.
For those whom such statements go right over your head.
Today 100$ = 5268₽
52 weeks ago 100$ = 3248₽
So, yea, lets not cry that the RU people are getting it good,
5268₽*.7 = 3687₽ ..
3687₽ / 3248₽ = 13.5% MORE than last year.

For lack of understanding.
NA gets stuff cheaper than EU too…
You guys can buy the clothing and razor gear for a lot less than us as well (and get the freebies to go along with it)… 90% of the codes I have gotten from live streams comes form the US streams too – they are given out like candy.

Checked out the Russian prem shop after talk about how Russians have to pay more rubles because the prices are tied to the dollar or w/e, thinking that “hey, 30% discount on something must equal EU prices, no wonder we only get the whale packages.

But no, Russian premium shop happens to show prices in my local currency (Norwegian Krone, NOK), and they are lower still by ~8%, both for gold and e.g. IS-6.

(99.99 USD)
This package contains:
M4A3E8 Sherman Fury – bonus;
slot in World of Tanks – bonus;
100% crew – bonus;
25 000 gold.

Perhaps they are waiting for this one to roll off in 3 days..
That deal is akin to what we are getting .. Pay for gold, get other stuff free.
