When dollar/USD hit 1.06 they increase how much we pay for RP to almost the same amount NA players pay by claiming that they have to convert EUR to USD so they were losing money compared to NA sales,now 1 EUR is worth 1.21 USD yet we are still paying the same inflated prices.
10 USD gets you 1380 RP while on EUW 10 EUR gets you 1380 RP meanwhile 10 USD is currently worth 8.35 euros so currently NA is getting their RP for 20% cheaper than we do.
Not to mention EU average GDP per capita is significantly lower than of an US person with lower hourly wages in almost all member states.
A Bulgarian Hungarian or Polish person who is making $1.75-$2 minimal wage is expected to pay more for RP than a person in the US earning at least 5 times as much according to Riot games
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_European_Union EU:
GDP per capita
$35,623 (nominal; 2019)
$44,539 (PPP; 2019)
USA:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States
$63,051 (2020 est.)
Edit: some users pointed out I should use the Median income for both EU and US so I did some math
https://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/show.do?dataset=ilc_di04&lang=en
here is EU median wage by country
All EU countries combined have a median yearly income of 17,858 Euros
According to my research
US median income after all the factors is 31,880 US dollar
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States
Lets say we spend 1% of this on RP this would mean we spent 318,8 USD or 178,5 EUR
318,8 USD gets us 3x 15,000 RP packages we will leave the other $20 for sales taxes as I believe $20 is an appropiate amount for that due to some states having no digital sales taxes or no sales taxes at all while others having 6-10%
an average US citizen ended up with 45,000 RP using 1% of their income
An average EU citizen's 1% income is 150 EUR a year (17,858/12)
150 EUR gets us 3x 7200 RP packages
Total of 21600 RP
NA RP =45,000
EU RP =21600 RP
From this you can see NA on average can buy nearly 110% more RP on their median wage then an average Europian,please debate me if I'm wrong on anything as I'd like to improve on the metrics if I'm wrong on something.
