I think a handful of select cities in the US has something similar. Berkeley, Philly, etc. Just a few on a city-by-city basis. Nothing statewide, definitely nothing nationwide.
It was something that was meant for nationwide here, but as I said, it didn’t pass through. Considering as soon as something gets taxed on here, then it means it can never go on sale either, and prices of the product/s will go up.
Places that have a soda tax here, the prices only go up a fraction of the tax rate. Usually the vendor foots 80% of the tax increase, where the consumer only sees a slight at best price increase.
Can’t go on sale? What crazy world is that?
Australia man. We’re a crazy bunch.

A world in which the LNP prefers to massively tax goods rather than their coal mining lobbyist mates.
I’m shocked people can’t get over a decision that was made 13 years ago and still whine about it on the forums.

In my old guild there were a few kids playing who weren’t even born yet when TBC came out.
I am shocked that paying customers are still asking for something they have been asking for and denied for 15 years.

People have been asking for them to get rid of sub fees for 15 years too, what’s your point?

Nope. You can play a blood elf which even Ion has called an evolution or you can play a void elf which is a further evolution. If you would like to see what people are talking about, go to dalaran and look at the silver covenant.

My point is that the game has, at best, 25% of the paying customers it had at its peak and that it needs to start listening more to the ones who still pay. Otherwise more will leave and stay gone. It isnt hyperbole, it is a statistical fact. People have been forced to stay inside for months, the weather is getting warmer and restrictions are loosening while WoW is in a content drought for at least 5 months. Considering the economic fact that people are starting to feel the pinch and are re examining their expenses, YEAH, Blizz should probably listen.

Player requests don’t have intrinsic worth.

Customer requests are actually one of the most valuable things a retail company can obtain. That is literally how they find out what goods and services will increase their bottom line. Maybe you would prefer they lay off another 800 people as their margin shrinks over the summer though.

And recognizing which ones will help your bottom line versus which ones to deny because they’ll hurt it or won’t have a worthwhile return on investment is also a valuable skill for companies, even non-retail ones like Blizz.

If this was a sub way they might even have a point.
No one would resub for the most bland and banal race in the game, nor will doing so change that WoW is extremely long in the tooth as MMO’s go.
