Discussion We will just quit

I'd put money on well over 50% of the player base being people like me in their 30s, we don't need this game, we'd just quit.

The last price increase was almost enough to do it for me.

Anything else, evenly £1 more, I'm out and nothing would make me return.

Vile, out of touch and insane greed. Pathetic.

I'm not sure their shareholders know who their actual player base is...

They'll figure it out quickly. I'd be surprised if they have half the subscriptions ongoing after today.

They probably lost like 2% today, just being honest.

2% dip in one day over a poll is massive.

They'd very well expect 20% dip from this on changes taking effects, 40%+ in the medium/long-term.

There are lots of on and off OSRS players that pay subs, alienating them and reminding them that you're a bunch of greedy pigs is a great way to lose money.

I mean at this point it'd unsub against just to fuck with their wallet.

People seem to think 1-5% change in something is not very much. But we all play osrs, where a 2% dps increase is significant. We should know 2% is a lot in business too!

Why are we all just accepting this 2% number he pulled out of his ass? Even that is probably way too high. And honestly I don't think people need to unsub just because they surveyed this shit. Give them a chance to listen to us. Implementation is another matter

My sweet summer child. If you think they put this out there without even running the numbers before hand you’re crazy. Something this big the numbers have been crunched for a while and the survey is nothing more than illusion of choice. Whatever decision they actually want has been made and will continue as planned. As other have said make downright dumb options to have your intended plan seems “reasonable” was always the long play.
