£130 =/= $130

This is such BS. Why the hell do we have to pay more for CE than US. Been a CE since 1.0 but if this price is not going to be corrected i`ll go find another MMO to play. They already making so much cash with all the subs, now they want to make even more cash from Expa.

I'm doing the digital download and that's going to be the end of it. Not going to give in to bulls!@t just because it's there.

You're not paying 130 for a game. You're paying 130 for a game and some extra stuff.

Which offsets the fact that it's not even a game itself since it cannot be played alone. It's an expansion, which should always be cheaper than the base game. And then on top of that, shipping to where I live is another $30 on top of it, so it's $160 for me to justify spending. Just not going to happen.

SE cannot justify the price difference, it's greedy and a terrible business decision. Yet again shows disregard and lack of respect for us, the customer, the subscribers, the players. I feel sorry that the hard graft that goes into the game has to be spoilt by this kind of sly, well, bs. I understand this is a business we're talking about, I'm open to ways that SE may try to gain revenue (such as the optional items) and even feel good supporting a game I like, but I play fair and give credit (or in this particular case, money) only where credit is due. I'll happily spend as long as I feel I'm not getting ripped off, and in this case we are. Frankly, I'm not prepared to be taken for a fool. All I can say is I hope they resolve this one or this company will finally plummet in my estimations. Don't expect me to stick around if you try to rip me off.

So don't buy it. I don't see why you feel the need to announce to the world that you aren't going to purchase something.

130 GBP=130 USD
SE logic.
Fail lol

Therefore, we are paying £42.05 more for the Collector's edition. Is this a mistake? Are UK buyer's being offered something extra for £42.05 or is it pure greed?

thats what canadians are stuck paying at this time WITHOUT counting in import fees and taxes (and yes I am using USD not CND) at least your VAT is rolled in so what you see is what you pay guess Canada got screwed more than the brits :( (not saying its right just that it could be worse)

How did you manage to get 6 likes with a post that is critical of SE's business practices?

All I get are insults and basically responses that say "SE is just right k?" Not even debunks :(

Teach me!

I am genuinely disgusted by this, SE, and you can bet your very last dollar (pound, whatever, tis all the same to you, right?) that I will not be buying your collect it's edition this time around. A shame, really, on you, and on the fools who buy into this blatant extortionate bs.
