Australianā€™s donā€™t have cars or gyms?

Wut? itā€™s just a real world costs perspective o0* Iā€™m not sure what you are insinuating. If I was to actually list the average Australian bills or something it would be something else all together and not what I was doing :slight_smile:

EDIT: The purpose was to look at it and go hmm what would one rather have. two streaming subs or a wow sub etc. Honestly we all have to make these kinds of decisions sometimes. (ignoring the fact I think netflix put its prices up a little while ago haha)

Cries in kiwi.

Because, as others have said, many places already pay more than Australia does, even with this change.

If youā€™re referring to places like Venezuela, their dollar is worth so little because their economy is so broken that if Blizzard charged them the equivalent of $15 USD, there would be like 2 players from the entire country.

Are you really trying to say Australia is like a third world country? L O L

NZD is worse and their prices didnā€™t change, in 2012 the AUD>USD and we didnā€™t get cheaper, This is nothing to do with our dollar.

Donā€™t you get to still pay in NZD?

Actually we already pay more in NZD, also your AUD has dropped ALOT vs NZD. Even with your massive drop of the AUD, we still pay more and always have.

I could easily pay a new fee but the $17 a month already irked me knowing how poor their product is. Did they even deserve that? definitely not more, even 1 cent more.

Except it hasnā€™t dropped at all? Outside of that dip during march we are approaching a 5 year high vs the USD, The NZD has always been worse off historicly to the USD than the AUD is vs USD and NZD has not had a price change, This has NOTHING to do with currency conversion.

And if any single one of these increased their fees by 20%, without reasoning, what would the outcome be?

A lot of people dropping the service.

My end date reads Jan 2021
Even before this news of the sub price increase. Goal was to reach level cap before that date then take a break until 18th wow anniversary to speed level my alts.

Your payment method has been removed.

So you guys were paying $16.50, were paying $19.99

AUD VS NZD
1 VS 0.95

Now paying $19.95 vs still $19.99ā€¦

Dudeā€¦you literally have your own forum and you have the nerve to say this?lol.

Yeahā€¦ yā€™all are doing well with number of cases, but your economy really took a hit. Iā€™m worried about yā€™all. I hope things improve and everyone gets through it okay. :slightly_frowning_face:

You were literally complaining about NZ price not going up, now its not about currency? Wowzers.

Maybe many Aussies are no longer playing full year.
