@blizzard, This is insulting

Don’t @me.

Through thick and thin you’ve treated the oceanic community like garbage despite having a large following in australia it took until patch 3.3.x for you to stop the routing shenanigan’s that put all data that wasnt from a US location to be processed last, This would result in a latency of 500-900 depending on what realm you played on even if you were playing on oceanic realms, This had nothing to do with the internet overall as using a VPN to hide that we are playing from Australia would instantly drop things to 250 and below…

When the Australian dollar (Hint a large part of your oceanic community) Did better than the Greenback, The yankee doodle, The Yank… Whatever you want to call your currency, You hiked up our local store prices for in-game shop stuff.

And now this? The most tone deaf thing of all you hiked up sub costs for Australians for NO REASON no Transparency nothing right after announcing massive profits.

This is insulting and pathetic and you should be ashamed of such a cash grab.

Even with the raise aren’t you still paying about 3% less than the 15 bucks U. S. players pay? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

We’ve paid the same sub fee the entire time the game has been launched, If you want to pull that argument then when during 2012 our sub fee’s should of gone down when the AUD was worth 1.2 AMERICAN dollars but it remained the same and our PRICES actually went up.

Dollars to donuts says you’ll resub. Aussies were paying cheaper than Americans. I find it really, really hard to agree with this “outrage”

I mean, even with the increase they’re still paying a bit less at the current exchange rates.

Pretty much yeah. I’m curious if this is coming from an actual Australian or if coming from someone just looking to try and start something on the forums for attention since most of the Aussies I know don’t really care about the price change for this very reason.

They just call it the Kangaroo Tax and laugh it off.

I’m just gonna start reporting duplicate threads as spam, since that’s what they’re classified as in the Forum Code of Conduct.

And brazillians pay less than US players, And Greeks pay less than us players, And russians pay less than us players, Does that make the argument any less valid? NO because there are different economic standpoints. Price of living is VASTLY different.

Totally unrelated… But what’s that helm xmog in your character pic? :thinking:

Most of the countries that pay less than US are not first world countries, or have other issues (like internet censorship cough Russia cough) that contribute to the lower cost.

Or are you trying to tell me Australia is a third world country?

Means nothing…plus my guess the server cost and cost of doing business went up, in the land down under
