    Since 1999, I have been paying in US dollars on every game I have ever played.

    This is the first MMO to have ever forced me to be billed in EU. FFXIV is the only game to ever lump Australia in to an EU zone, which is beyond stupid. Do some research on previous gaming companies i.e. SoE, NCSoft, Perfect Worlds, Trion, Blue Hole Studios just to name a few with many more out there. Every single game in MMORPG history that has been released, has put Australians in with US.

    PAL is our regioning code for Electronic goods i.e. DvD's, BLU Ray, Televisions etc, nothing more, which by the way, is an outdated form of measurement in the Video industry and has little to do with what you are talking about. Canada uses PAL format too, does this make it European? No, it makes up North America.

    As I showed you EU region, Australia is not classed as in the EU region and never will be.

    The only reason we get billed in Euros is because their billing company is Euro based, nothing more.
