Aus Sub Price Increase

Community General Discussion

Please read my previous post. NZ is already paying more than Aus, even after this change.

FYI currently the NZD is close to parity with the AUD (0.95).

In terms of infections and recovery rates? Yes.

But we still have growing unemployment and an extremely weak economy.

WTF does this have to do with pricing? You remind me of this German person I knew.

Well, despite what Blizzard has been trying to do with the game, Wow isn’t a job, it’s a game

I stand by statements this was a rubbish time to do this.

Didn’t the local currency change see a large jump in their price? It looks like they are at $22 a month already. Also AU has been paying well under American rates for 8+ years.

Yeah they’re simply changing it to be inline with what they should’ve been paying. I don’t get the outrage at all.

Also those on a recurring plan will not see a price increase for 6 months, so


155

And I swear that at any point in the future or in the past. This would be the same reason given.

156

But it would be nice to only pay 10 bucks for a sub tho
basically what they have been paying for last 8 years

157

I did, I am right there with us. It’s just the context of the whole thing makes me shudder. I’m primitive, I’m a bear
 but this doesn’t feel like love.

Like in a year when this Covid rubbish blows over a bit more? Not just before a new Xpac? Pretty simple

Well if 5 bucks is going to break you a month/and or its not worth it to you
you can unsub

If you have a recurring sub the price is not going up for 6 months. The vaccines will be widely available by then.

Lets get some perspective.

WOW(base game plus 2x 6 month sub) = $22.25 a month
WOW(epic version plus monthly sub) = $28.28 a month
Netflix =$10.99 - $19.99 a month
Stan = $10 - $19 a month
Gym membership = $24.91 - $34.45 a month (Melbourne Derrimut lol)
Car rego = ~$69 - $71 a month
Eating out at a nice cafe / restaurant 4 times a month $100 - $140 a month

Some meme reference? Priceless.

Wait, people here are talking about a Covid expense also - which is divisive and silly.

It’s because of those huge spiders
