£130 =/= $130

I'm betting they'll come out with some crap about it funding an EU datacentre.

You know, like the cash shop was supposed to.

The people who belived that will believe the extra 40£ will go to the game too... they think any cent they spend towards FFXIV-related things will fund the game.

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.

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 have no idea why UK is so angry when Aussies get it even worse.

Europeans like to be incensed

Because the world revolves around the UK, obviously.

You mean America.

I think it is just pure greed on their part now.
Yes aussies may get it worse but we are paying nearly £40 extra which means we are paying the equivalent of $192

SE can't math this morning?

But yeah just switching around the currency tag is awful. I haven't got £140 to spunk on an expansion.

Is it not possible that they just haven't finished maintenance on the page yet?
From google it's permanently in maint, so I checked it via Cache. I'll check again later or in a few days to make sure they arn't truly ****ing us over this badly. Never known SE to do something like this before, so I'll keep a few days of faith in them.

I was there waiting before 7:00AM. It went live for a while when they added the products. Then it broke for a while, then you were able to see the products and click Pre-Order as much as you like but it would say "Basket Empty" or something along those lines. This lasted a good hour before the site went down completely. All the while the CE was £129.99. Doesn't seem like a mistake. It's sad that people will still pay for this. It's just ridiculously over-priced and offensive to loyal customers of SE.
