can you also compare turkey with others in:

1-) mininum salary vs minimum income to be alive

2-) prices for products, rent or buy a house, automobiles, etc.

3-) inflation

after then lets talk about fair or unfair buddy

They merged us with Arab and Turkey players, and from what I've seem, those players are cheaters who also abuse tons of cheap ambrosia.

Since I've been to Turkey, I know people there are underpaid, I also know the food is cheap, transport is cheap, mobile data is insanely expensive, museums have high 80 euro tax for tourists and as a native you can go for free or way cheaper. You are using pirated software and watch movies from torrents for free, your homes are modern and your cars are brand new SUVs. Most people on the streets tried to sell me something or lead me to their shop.

As for Germany, I've been to Bavaria, prices there were squeezing me like a bug, food was in much smaller quantity, at first I thought I'd starve to death, homes are mainly modern houses and cars are brand new sport cars or sedans. A lot of fines, a lot of regulations and a lot of restriction of freedom and everything is taxed in ways it should not be.

Turkey was easier life, less effort. While Germany is set only for people who work a lot.

So the imbalance comes when the marketplace is global and Turkey people have to pay a lot more income for the same things from the global market that Germans have - computers, phones, cars (tech manufactured elsewhere). It is way easier for a German kid to buy new gaming PC each year, that is a fact.

So imagine what happens when a player with German Salary buys from the Turkey shop ambrosia.

the legal minimum salary in turkey 22000₺ (~504€) and

the rent for a liveable house 15000₺ (~344€)

gas, water, internet, mobile data, electric 1500₺ (~35€)

2 meal per person (only eat chicken wrap): 240₺ x 30 days = 7200₺ (~165₺)

automobiles? buying a house? (are only dreams for an ordinary citizen)

so lets calculate: 504 - 344 - 35 - 165 = -40€

ikariam 5000 ambrosia = 900₺ (21€)

lets talk about equality and justice right???

so as you say the regular citizens should not play this game. becaus "This game should be priced according to the European exchange rate" =))

and by the way, if you like turkey so much, welcome home.

immediately start living in bağcılar or esenyurt in istanbul. but you will earn money and spend money in turkish standarts =)) I am sure 3 months later you will run back your hometown by crying...

hopefully, mathematics makes clear about purchasing power differences between countries...

Those numbers are almost same in Serbia and probably in other Balkan countries (some are even worse) and still 5000 ambrosia is 200e

So I really would like to hear more about equality and justice

Prices should be same for everyone if we play on same servers...

no!

price is need to be adjusted based on every countries' purchasing power.

Maybe but that is obviously not the case and only Turkish people have this benefit... As I said my country has simular purchasing power but still ambrosia is 10x more expensive

Oh brother.. how have i not seen this post before aha. I won't go into country economics, no point. I will simply say what overly-cheap ambrosia has caused. A mass of donator accounts sourced by turkish ambro. A mass of oil and helious tower accounts - one server specifically had the enitre screen as helious islands as an example. Spartan warbanks with hundreds of thousands of units, some millions. New accounts with tens of thousands of ambro ready to invade new upcoming servers. I personally don't purchase ambo becuase i know it can be sourced cheaply for pennies, why am i spending quite high numbers on it. Ask yourself why it is worth catering to turkish clients that heavily it has ruined a large portion of your game. This isn't an attack on people who buy turkish ambro.. they made this system, its bad, they have the consequences. My main question is just why
