Why not block regions, if you are from south america you will only be able to access the servers from south america, if you are from europe you will only be able to access the servers from europe, if you are from north america you will only be able to access the servers from north america, if you have a server in your own region with a stable ping why would you want to play in another region? So each region could have its store located

Just to let you all know that if regional prices become a thing then I want to pay less than a UK/GER player in my poor european country too. Our minimum wages are in some cases 1/3 theirs. Regional pricing will open a precedent and other people will want to ride that wave too, next stop prices localised by country local economy.

this, if we’re going by actual min wage, might as well separate it by state too, cause a good chunk of the us has a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour (not that its what most people get paid but for the argument of “lets lower it cause of minimum wage”)
Realistically if they did it by region there’s way too many countries who have different income levels to do a shop in a decent amount of time. Also even in LATAM people have different income levels. So should we separate it by each country there too? We’d be looking at over 20 different levels of pricings for EU/SA lol.
That minimum wage you just used as an example is still at least 6x higher than minimum wages all around SA. You guys are completely out of touch with reality.
Now you guys are just trying to troll. The situation is completely different, you guys are going to have good auctionhouses with stuff to buy, because the reality EU in general has is much better them the SA region. If we had the majority of the population fine with the prices and buying stuff I wouldn’t bother because people would just sell stuff on the AH and I could just buy it by playing.
So no guys, your reason is completely different then ours, you guys can at least have stuff on AH we will not have half of your AH.

I don’t care about stuff in the AH, I care about being able to purchase RC to buy whatever I wish from the cash shop. I was sure that you guys just wanted special treatment. You guys want to pay less because you earn less and that’s fair enough, I also want to pay less because I earn less how is that not fair then?
Dude from a poor South American country: please we want to pay less because the economy in our country is poor - Check.
Dude from a poor European country: please we want to pay less because the economy in our country is poor - No can do sorry, cause it’s “different” situation.
If your country economy sucks so much that your minimum wage is at least 6x lower than the lowest minimum wage avg from your economic zone then your country should just have a server for itself.
Also, your argument falls into the false equivalence fallacy.
Lmao then shouldn’t countries like venezuela or columbia have their own server compared to brazil, protugul etc?
Sure, but that won’t happen because those countries are so poor they can’t worry about Lost Ark’s in game cash shop prices, they have bigger issues like having food on the table, you know? Probably not, since you are comparing a bad minimum wage from the US to the economic reality of a poor CONTINENT.
Keep your privilege in check.
So how exactly do you propose they add regional pricing then? Cause steam wallet payments by region have been and can be abused. And as far as I know there are no restrictions preventing someone in the NA EU to make a SA server character or vice versa, some people in the EU have been saying they’ll make NA characters for friends etc. There literally is not a viable way to do this.
It’s that hard to understand that our REGIONS reality are quite different?
And if you guys feel so wronged, open a topic to discuss this and stop trying to diminish the problems of a entire region

honest answer although for different por country 
electronic at premier usually not but used market is a loot cheeper
cars ar cheper from start but usually also done with cheeper materials and used market depends DE usually have it cheper as they buy new and sell couple years old machines although big crisis is at dorsteps (and there is chip issue that also criple car manufacturers) so they are buying old craps now and pricess rise as they have generally a loot more buying power 
Is it so hard to believe that maybe Brasil or the SA region isn’t the poorest country in the world and that maybe some European countries have it even worst than you? We don’t open such topics because we have lived our entire lives used to being shafted and not having any special treatment. If this sort of special treatment becomes the norm then we want a slice of the pie too.
There were multiple solutions through the thread. Making so every person were locked to their own regional server with the lowest ping available. Like I said before, founder’s packs prices were abused and we aren’t complaining about those, but they can easily do something about the in-game store, just like they did for their other game New World which did have regionalized prices.
Sure, go ahead and create your own topic and stop flaming this one by diminishing our complaints.
Again sir, your problem is much harder to have a solution than ours. You liking it or not your economy(Game economy) will be much more lively, I’m not saying Brazil is the poorest, I have never said that. I’m judt saying that my REGION SERVER is going to have a dead AH because the MAJORITY can’t afford this prices.
Your problem sucks? yeah, I agree. But your server is going to have a much more enjoyable place with a good AH theb ours that’s the problem
Except this won’t really happen because people will buy anyway even at insane prices and Amazon knows this. Start talking with your wallets instead and if/when Amazon actually notice they don’t make a profit in your region perhaps they’ll change their views on regionalising prices for you. Until then I suspect you will have plenty of transactions in your region. Just like BDO had even more predatory prices in SA and that didn’t stop players from spending money. Stop buying as a protest if you want to see change but we know people won’t stop buying don’t we. People complain but they still pay the asked price, Amazon will look at this data and see no issues.
Some people will pay? Yes, it’s going to be enough? I doubt it.
Then pray it’s not enough because unless Amazon feels their bank accounts are being hurt they won’t change a thing. Good luck anyway, I wish you get what you want, if you do other regions will have a precedent to push for the same regardless that you think our situation is “different”.

If they can implement a way that richer countries from your server region can’t abuse the system then sure, why not? I’m all for equalizing consumer buying power, even more so for virtual goods.
