I feel for you situation, but it was purely an example that 1 night out for you and a date is around the cost of 1 month of AO.
Personally it costs me around $30-$40 US for a dinner and movie date night so I think AO is a bargain.

Sure, but can you give a good reason why Euros should pay 33% more (VAT goes on top of that) compared to americans, for the same game?
Here in Norway you'll have serious problems to find a resturant that charges less than 200$ for a date meal for two and a bottle of wine, and that's a pretty medium resturant. I was on a date on last Friday and went to a typical date resturant and paid 400$ for the meal and a bottle of wine...
This + you can't compare it with movie or restaurant. Other MMO are the only viable comparison and how well does it retain its customers. Not very well if you ask me...

The point is...for less than the cost of 1 night out on the town I can get entire month worth of AO.
If you do not feel AO is a good value for your money you have a choice not to pay for it. You can't simply complain to the seller that you do not like the price of the subscription and expect to get it lowered. The price is set and you can choose to pay for it or not. Whether you think it is fair value or not you still have a choice on spending your money. The same way you can not complain to a resturant that the price of dinner or drinks is too much. You either order from the menu or you leave. You have a choice to spend your money on the product "as is" or shop somewhere else. It really is that simple.

So why do you think it's reasonable for euros to pay 33% more than americans for the exact same product?
Never said I thought it was reasonable or fair, just that you have a choice to pay for it or not.

I get you point but that's not how the market works. If the price is unreasonably high while other comparable products (MMOs) are cheaper or free of charge then players start leaving. The game would have to be extraordinary or have an extraordinary support (frequent updates etc.) or both in the same time to justify the price and let's face it - while AO has some unique aspects it's neither of mentioned.
It certainly is our right not to pay but that doesn't mean we have to remain silent and never talk about it.

Why don't you guys in the UK make buddies with the guys in the US, then say, look bro, I'll send you the equivalent of 1 month AO sub in US plus 5 bucks tip, if you pay my sub.
The buddy in the USA makes 5 bucks and you get a 5 dollar discount.
win win?
Do you think it's fair that euros get to pay more than americans?
Because that's 1. Account sharing, 2. Risky.
His point is that you're not being forced to pay for AO. You choose to pay for AO, despite the difference in costs, so it must not be as big a deal as most Euros make it out to be.
There is a significant issue - let me just explain that mine reset itself. For the first year, I paid £60. Not too bad, cause I love the game.
It upped to £90 the next year cause it decided that Pounds Sterling isn't a currency, and I should pay Euros - I should atleast get to choose which one.
FYI, I'm not in the eurozone. I'm English. Very much so. And for some reason unbeknownst to me or anyone on here, I'm paying in Euros. It automatically changed. I set my billing address to Antarctica for the first year to AVOID it.

Then cancel your subscription.
No? Thought so.
To be fair, I have. I'm froobing until it's fixed (When my account freezes)

I finally figured out why they charge an extra 33% for euro than USA customers. It's because they cost 33% more in forum HDD space, whining, complaints and support :^) *ducks and hides*
