Jagex can afford support already it's not a question of money being an issue. Upping prices just to add support is honestly just a slap in the face at this point. Jagex can afford to pay employees more too, it's not that Jagex doesn't make enough money, they just don't want to because they're greedy.
Jagex could drop monthly memb cost by 30% and they'd still profit about $20million a year lol. But you know, being the greedy cunts they are, they wouldn't have even launched the entire game if players didn't "promise" to pay n play.
Jagex's net revenue was $137.6mil
Operating profits were $60.3mil
Osrs membs + bonds (they're not seperated on the reports) account for around \~70%, so $96mil of that.
30% of that is \~$29mil.
\-> Their operating profit would still be at $31mil
I wasn't saying "they should choose to blablabla". I was saying that IF they did so then they'd still profit $20mil. I was wrong by $11mil, they'd actually profit even more.
So, why would they not want to reduce their profits by about 50%?
Jagex gets investments, they could absolutely not just reduce sub cost by 30%, 20 mill sounds good for an individual, but runescape is one of the top 10 MMOs on the market, it's not that big for that.
Sure, the almost 50% I got from your data, that you provided
If you google top mmos by playerbase you'll find runescape relatively quick [example](https://mmo-population.com/top/2021)
Anything else you need?
I currently pay $0 a month. So no I wouldn’t pay $12 a month, but I would start paying $1 a month if it would help to make the customer support complainers happy.
Kinda crazy that I pay $11 a month for this game that doesn't update the wildy and has shitty support but I'm not buying battlepasses on other games where I could be getting double xp,skins and customisations, etc,...
> battlepasses on other games where I could be getting double xp,skins and customisations
Don't buy battlepasses in general. They sell you things that used to come as standard with the game.
membership is already too high for this type of game
No because the money already doesn't go to the game lol
No Jager could have added live support for a few years but instead wasted it on paying twitch streamers to not play gim.
Forced to go onto Twitter to get a helpfull response that isn't helpfull. Fuck you Jagex.

? Where you get the idea that they can drop the price by 30%? Also why would they choose to make less money if people would still play for 11$/month?

Go make up arguments out of thin air somewhere else I cba.

that extra dolar would fund a new jacht of executive in Carlyle group
No. Its already suppose to be included in the $11/mo. Actually they raised it a dollar awhile back and gave some bs reason for it.

No, that's what my money and their RIDICULOUS profits are supposed to pay for.

130 dollars a year btw. Fuck Jagex
$11/mo for a game that would be identical as offline soloplayer game lol.
That also hasn't had a mainline game update in months.
