Web Store should automatically adjust to local currency based on location

And language too

I feel like that sort of system would be really complicated to make. What I think is way easier is if they (only if you are logged in) remember what currency you set it on.

that would mean cubecraft's site would have to take more of ur private data on startup, so ill have to disagree on this

The current store is set so GBP and this gives an even amount as the prices are originally created in this currency. I personally like to see the even amount and not the uneven amount that it would show if I set it to my own currency. If I consider buying something in the store I will always first check how much I actually have to pay (in my own currency). If I'm just looking around I like to see GBP honestly.

Well, I don't think that's a good idea. Definitely because you live in a country does not mean that you are going to use the type of currency that is in that country, you can use any other currency and there are even many money transfer cards (such as Transferwise) that are used for many people to exchange.

With this I am not saying that you have to convert your money to GBP, I simply think that leaving the currency of your country where you live by default is not a good idea since not everyone uses that currency. Right now there is the option to change the currency to the one you want so I really don't find your suggestion useful at all.

I agree. There is the concern of personal data collection, so maybe when you go onto the store page the first time a pop-up will ask you if you want this option enabled at the cost of your data being taken away from you, and you can decide.

Regarding personal data, your phone basically records you and sends you personal ads, it ALREADY tracks your location, (My mum has got popups saying to rate a location she has been to on Google maps)

I don't understand why this is a big deal for personal data, I mean, sure, cubecraft could say they are using your location for your benefit but overall I really don't understand that argument. Where you from there might be different laws about this but not where I am from

No, they wouldn't be taking your data as they can know which country you live in by just checking your IP, so no, they wouldn't be doing anything they aren't doing now.

That doesn't make sense, in our case, we live in Spain, so we are most likely to use euros rather than any other currencies. In fact, why would you use dollars or GBP? I think it would be useful for more people so they can automatically adjust the store prices to their local currency and have a better idea of the real price. If you want to use any other currency, you can manually select it, but this would be more convenient for most users.

I disagree because some players use VPN while shopping/buying stuffs online for security and make them confused because VPN alter your IP!

Don't use a VPN then, it's useless unless you use it to skip censorship in certain countries where internet is restricted, it won't make your device safer.
