I’m literally asking for some transparency on whether this sort of increase is going to be a regular thing because this was completely unexpected and unannounced and I am expressing my discomfort about the size of the increase (it was a 50% increase, not some 5%, 10 % or you know, even 2% which is real world inflation....maybe just use a different word? There are a lot of working adults on this site to whom inflation is not at all a fun word but we know full well 50% isn’t normal inflation ) due to the implication through the choice in words that it may be a regular sort of increase. In situations in the past that I have been in, with that sort of increase, it quickly became untenable to be a normal, casual player and I got out, no hard feelings, it just wasn’t for me. Expectations clear, good game for the hardcore players. I’m sort of just trying to figure out what to expect. Why are people pushing back on that and basically telling me I’m being overly critical etc etc etc when I am going by the only data set at my disposal and my very real past experiences? If I don’t like the economy they are setting up - I won’t end up participating in it. You don’t need to tell me not to. I just need to get a full picture. There is a difference between being critical for criticisms sake and being informed consumers. I prefer to be an informed consumer.
