The VCS area receives the highest RP price increase
One of the most important mechanisms of any game, is the virtual currency system used in that game so gamers can own equipment and items in the game. However, the level of conversion in each area is not the same, and sometimes because of the actual currency value of each area that gamers will have to spend more or less than players in other areas. The recent example is the price of Faker's Hall of Legends outfit when VCS gamers have to spend more than 5 million to own while Western players may have to spend up to about 10 million. But recently, Riot has decided to change the value of virtual currency conversion in all its game systems, and VCS is one of the three areas that have been increased by the highest conversion price.
Faker's Hall of Legends outfit has clearly showed the difference in the price of converting the virtual currency price (in this case is RP) of the areas is very large.
Accordingly, in the latest notice of Riot, a series of areas have been adjusted the virtual currency exchange price in this publisher's games (League of Legends, Valorant, League of Legends: Speed …) with increased reduction levels depending on the region. However, the three countries were the most increased, Ukraine (73%), Vietnam (41%) and the Philippines (40%). In the APAC group, VCS is the name that Riot has increased the most.

VCS gamers have difficulty
In fact, VCS gamers regularly play Riot's games will mostly focus on students' groups, that is, the subject has not had a stable income. The price conversion increases means that the player will have to consider more every time he wants to deposit money into the game. The 41% increase is very high.
VCS gamers are mostly young people, students – students
Take a simple example: Vnggames is providing 4 different forms of conversion for gamers to be able to choose flexibly. In particular, the lowest level of ZaloPay and Zing Card is 20k for 190 – 195 RP, the lowest level of ATM and credit cards is 50k for 460 RP. If the level of conversion increases, the player must load about 30k for 190 – 195 RP, if loaded via ATM and the credit card, it will have to load about 75k for 460 RP. And especially, these RP landmarks are currently almost unable to buy any beautiful costumes or new generals (1 general cost 975 RP).

While the new generals are always priced at 975 RP
According to Riot, this level of conversion is to “create a fair playground”. The reason that Riot is given is due to the “manipulation of the value conversion value Ingame” from some areas. Thus, it can be understood that Riot assesses VCS as one of the areas that are subject to manipulating the highest RP price of RP in the world League of Legends.
Riot's too high price increase will make it difficult for VCS
Gamers are also concerned about the upcoming price increase
After all, the change of the price of Riot conversion price is completely reasonable and easy to understand. However, gamers of the highest price increases will be “victims”, but in this case is VCS. Players will have to spend more money and this may be a factor that many VCS gamers reconsider “blood donation” to Riot in the future, no matter what the game is.
