The Flower Crowns from Lunar New Year. There was a quest to get permanent ones added this year. They’ll be back in… February?

No government regulations have changed in the last year regarding this, No price differences in datacenter costs either, Blizzard isn’t a little company and not all australians play on australian servers.

You know that for fact ? Source
By a whole 7 cents.
Well was 8 cents
Ahh, I took a break around that time. I’ll have to make sure I get it next time. Thanks!
work with them, the costs for major clients have not changed at all in the last 2 years, Minor clients yes, New clients get different rack rates, But for someone as big as blizzard? nothings changed.
Imagine crying about paying less than most of WoW’s playerbase.

Maybe…but highly doubt it
I mean if you can’t afford 5 bucks more a month/and or don’t find value then by all means please don’t resub after 6 months
And you’re being hostile and toxic for zero reason.
If you cancel your sub what are you going to do? You can’t go outside. Everything in Australia can kill you.

No. You can’t math good it seems.
When you buy something on an overseas site you are generally quoted a US price and the site automatically converts that to Australian dollars at the current daily exchange rate. I don’t actually see why Blizzard couldn’t do the same - I mean, it’s a fairly large organisation, right? So if other online businesses can do it, why can they not?
We are paying for our game with Australian currency. When I pay for it on my credit card, it comes out of my bank account in Australian currency. What should happen is that Blizzard should quote us the standard US monthly (or whatever) subscription amount and then convert it and automatically adjust the withdrawal from my debit card to the appropriate Australian amount. That way we’d be paying exactly the same as Americans do in a matching foreign currency.
It isn’t a matter of what it converts to here, it a matter of it matching exactly what you pay in your currency. If I go to Amazon in the US to buy something, I have to pay more because your dollar is worth more than mine. It is rare that it goes the other way, very rare.

you can not control me, demon.
That’s it, Time to break out the Angry Roo’s
Yes.
1 AUD = 0.73 USD.
19.95 AUD = 14.51
14.51 is 96.73% of $15.
Australians pay 3% less in actual value despite the increase. The increase is because the Dollarydoo is down 18% since March.
The irony.

And yet we didn’t pay less when the dollary doo was better than the greenback, Go figure, This isn’t about conversion also we are not down since march…

There was no such time in recent history. Possibly ever.
It was literally increased by the amount the Dollarydoo is down.

Literally 20 cents higher than where we collapsed in march and we are were we were pre corona virus heading for a 5 year high vs the USD
and about it never happening? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/oct/15/australian-dollar-overtakes-us-dollar
And it lasted like a month. Your currency has been down since January. It’s not the lowest it’s been all year, but it’s still down significantly.
