Everyone keeps saying “it’s just a dollar.” Okay. What are you going to say next year when it’s $15.99? And the year after when it’s $16.99? Because let’s put that in context: World of Warcraft costs $14.99/month. Final Fantasy XIV’s full Standard subscription — the one that lets you actually create multiple characters — is $12.99/month. We are already at $14.99 and trending upward, paying more than FFXIV and matching WoW, for a game that competes with neither of them. At what point do you actually push back? And let’s not forget what they just pulled: they killed the yearly subscription option and forced everyone onto monthly billing. That’s not a coincidence. The yearly plan was the last bit of real value left, so they gutted it and raised the effective annual cost by $50 in the process. That’s not a price adjustment. That’s a cash grab. And the price isn’t even the only problem. We’re still dealing with: 1 character per account with zero flexibility — FFXIV gives you up to 40 across servers at $12.99/month No support for multiple accounts AI chat support that barely works A content update schedule that feels abandoned WoW and FFXIV don’t have these problems. And they cost the same or less. That’s the comparison we should be making every time someone tells you to stop complaining about a dollar. Stop settling. Stop carrying water for shareholders who see a playerbase as a revenue stream and nothing else. We’re already paying premium MMO prices for a game nowhere near that level of quality, and it’s only going one direction. Hold the line or watch the game die. Those are the options. submitted by /u/Dismal-Computer-5600
