Maybe I'm confused but it looks like the Vault of crystals has gone up by about $30, with an increase in package cost across the board. I was going to purchase some gems on Sunday but that left a bad taste in my mouth, thinking I'm paying quite a lot more then I would have a few days ago.
IMO I think your premium currency is a bit overpriced.

Well the vault was $139 last week and $169 today. I already played around with the currency conversions and that doesn't seem to be the issue.
I agree that the f2p model in this game is far far less obnoxious then in many others. But an Auroduim data pack now costs around $33 (for me) and that is for a random 3 or 4 star character. I would never spend gems on those packs at this stage, I just like being able to purchase shipments or energy refills.
Of course we are all guilty of encouraging these new gaming models (we're all cogs in the machine after all) , however I do also support my fair share of independent games. I like to delude myself that I am at least providing some amount of balance to the gaming universe.

That's some serious inflation and I wouldn't even consider making purchases at those prices. I'm in the United States. The currency conversion price today for the vault is $110.

Doesn't seem to have changed for me - It's 100 euro plus 9.60 Euro VAT so about $125USD. That's what it's been since I got the game.
I suspect that once it's released in the US officially it'll drop to $99.99 (+tax) in the US but who knows maybe they'll keep the Euro pricing and hope no one notices the extra 10%
What currency are you buying in?

I'm buying in AU dollars
its $145.45 plus $14.54 GST . That's 104.85 Euro after conversion, which sounds about right based on your price. However, like i said previously it was $129 for me (verified based on my purchase 2nd OCT).
So confused.
EDIT: Had my previous amounts out by a factor of 10.

I didn't notice any price change beside the usual fluctuation in conversion rate though...
