Runescape is jacking up their subscription prices next month, going from like 12 bucks to 14 bucks a month. The increases range from 20% to 56% in price depending on currency. Players are PISSED about it especially since the company got bought out by some investment firm earlier this year, and they see it as a shameless cash grab.
Here’s a mega thread about the price increase on Reddit. Overwhelmingly negative feedback on the price increase
https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/samPRjFSCn
So I decided to make a post on Reddit basically asking in a neutral way if it would deter people from playing… And I was met with the most hostile, toxic keyboard warriors basically telling me “maybe stop working at McDonalds and you can afford it” and defending the company for the price increase. After an hour, my post was removed, and I was banned for a year without any explanation.
I’m honestly in shock that I would get banned just for asking a question, like they are that angry about people talking about the price increase?
There are other currencies in the world.
Euro is going from 8 to 12.5, which is higher than 50%
That’s 36% but I’m sure it’s higher in some other currencies. 50% would have to be 16.
edit: This is the worst comment I have ever left on this website. I’m leaving it up so people can see what happens when you do math early in the morning. Embrace it, learn from it, live with it.
12.5/8=1.5625, so the Euro price went up by 56.25%
you’re trolling bro wtf
I shouldn’t do math right when I wake up.
Not sure, took me some time to remember we were talking about % increase.
Not everybody is natively good at math ^^
No, it’s a 56% increase. The increase is based on the before number, not after. 8->16 would be a 100% price increase
You divide by the old price, not the new one:
12.5 / 8 = 156%
8 eur to 12.5 eur is a 56.25% increase. 16 would be a 100% increase.
50% would have to be 18
50% of 8 is 4, so increasing from 8 to 12.5 is an increase of over 50%.
But we’re starting at 12
Read the comment you originally replied to and then come back and tell me why we’re not starting at 12.
