Wait Blizzard is adjusting for the USD/AUS dollar difference?
I wanted to comment on that they should adjust this for USD/EUR too but then I googled and apparently its 12,99 here.
I’ve been playing US so long I didnt even knew. Carry on this adjustment is justified.
Blizzards Chinese Overlords are demanding this. Aussie and China got beef.
I don’t see American outrage over this.
Obviously they don’t.
Sub reduction likely won’t happen. And none of us in the US have the power to push for such.
And considering the post a few above your own proves it wasn’t really about making up cost, it could just be a test. To see how well people take an increase. Before doing it in other regions.
The game is already getting less content each expac. And look at the lack of it for the prepatch.
The point was also made that server costs have gone down significantly over the years.
So this could be just greed.
For all the snarky, anti-American comments I’ve seen from the Aussies, my sympathy is really struggling here.
Well imagine complaining about something that impacts your country then a bunch of Americans come over like “No it doesn’t shut up.”
And then when those people rightfully complain about the trademark american arrogance you get mad about it lol.
If there is a price increase in WoW in the US you can blame Biden and company for that with his proposed tax changes.
Not really helping make your case here.
Besides, as Karat pointed out early in the thread:
Basically “We’re mad that we’re still paying less than those stupid, fat, lazy, arrogant Americans”.
okilly dokilly.
Itd be easy to accept the price increase if.
They hadn’t spend the last 6 years avoiding OCE complaints about inverted day/night cycles.
Warmode basing itself off NA servers (which have the reverse faction balance)
They’d fix the event timing so things like fishing event didn’t happen at horrible times on OCE servers.
The expansion hadn’t been delayed.
We weren’t In the middle of a pandemic
I kinda expect them to start looking at some of these things if they wantto hold their hands out for more money… But I know theyll go back to ignoring us =/
