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?
