Riot sucks.. confirmed

GØD TIER ··52 votes·14,807 views

Of course. Always make the cost go up, never down- when the circumstances call for it (global rates not only go up you know). Only increase. And Europe always suffers the most- you already increased it once, a long time ago and never reverted it when the time was right, now you do it again. We'll be spending even more and getting even less RP compared to the other regions. Much meritocracy, such fairness, wow.

You suck, confirmed.

Riot can't help when taxes go up. If the price of say, milk, goes up because sales tax increases (and that store has to pay taxes), do you complain that the store should take the hit and make up the difference for you? No, that'd be silly, because it's not the store's fault, it's just the government raising taxes.

Riot needs to pay those taxes based on what the governments have said so all they are doing is what any other seller of an item would do on an increase of taxes.

EDIT: Let me try to explain this better. The price of RP (I'm using $ because I'm American) is $5 for 650 or so (I think, been a while). If I had to pay 9% tax on that, the price for the RP hasn't changed. It's still $5 for that amount. I just now have to pay $5.45 to cover the $0.45 tax that Riot is paying to my state. Riot isn't getting the money, the state is.

Also, having had to calculate tax into the price for something to keep it at the same price while taking the hit, it's not an easy thing to do. It's much easier to have the customer pay a little more for tax.

Don't forget that they are giving bonus RP for a while because of this.

I'm fairly sure taxes already were put on RP in Europe. The problem with your example is that the milk will eventually go down in price again once the currency starts being stronger again but historically that never really happened in League. If you chose to do it that way you need to make it a monthly/weekly/daily change instead of doing it when it's convenient and then never going back to change it again.

If taxes were put on already and taxes went up, then the price will go up. I can choose any product besides milk and cite the same thing. If taxes go up on that product, the overall price will go up to make up the difference. If Riot now has to pay 10% tax instead of 5% tax, the price will go up to compensate. This is basic economics. It doesn't matter the set value placed on it in the first place. If Riot chooses to move with the value of the currency they can, but for most, that will be more confusing than anything else so they have a set price that is solid despite changes in the currency value and they pay taxes off that set price. Sometimes we get "more" for our money, sometimes we get "less" for our money.

Europe isn't the only one getting hit either. Some states are charging tax now I believe so our prices will go up too. In the end, Riot is having to pay more to the countries the RP is sold in so they have to charge us more to make up the difference. Whether a shirt, bread, fuel, airline tickets, vehicle registration, I don't care what -- if taxes go up on them, price goes up. Plain and simple.

It does. Almost every currency in the world is weaker compared to the dollar now than it was a year ago, and/or their taxes have increased dramatically.

The reason for increases in Europe is because the tax increases outweigh any minor change in the strength of those currencies in respect to the dollar.

To the best of my knowledge, Europe has not reduced taxes on online sales in the history of League of Legends.

If it ever happens, and the price isn't reduced to compensate, then you can complain about it.

I can already complain about it. The euro GAINED compared to the USD since the last big price increase and taxes didn't really change afaik. At the very least it doesn't warrant a 15% increase.

So, people from different states (so different tax) will have to pay different amount of money /RP ? That would be fair

I believe so, yes. It's how it is with a lot of purchasing. It's why people from some states that live close to borders will actually go to the other state to buy more expensive stuff because less tax (I knew someone from Massachusetts who went to New Hampshire to avoid sales tax for example).

yes I agree with what you're saying, but you're leaving out a key point, the point that many people don't actually realize but is the underlying reason for increasing anger amongst the masses.

I can only speak for USA because that's all the data i've seen.

talks of inflation, hence increasing prices over time. You may also talk about increasing income over time (due to inflation)...yknow we see minimum wage and such go up every once in a while.

what is often overlooked is relative purchasing power. This isn't exact science, but if you look at an index of prices, you can estimate average cost of living, mainly looking at food/transportation/clothing/housing prices. While these all continue to go up, one can attribute to inflation, the average income/wages have remained stagnant, or worse, decreased since around the 1980s.

if u really care to argue about this, find some of this data. Basically what it means...although everything costs more and although people make "more" , AVERAGE people (i.e. most people) have effectively higher prices because their wages have increased at a lower rate compared to many of the things we buy a lot of.

now i doubt digital purchases are a sizable portion of purchases overall, but this fact is why people get mad because they feel like they don't have enough money to buy necessities and some reasonable luxury (which would be true).

So yes, what you said would make sense, but not when you leave out this crucial piece of information. Kind of sickens me to hear people defending big companies when average people get continually squished and government does nothing to protect them.

I do not frequently defend Riot and trust me when I know all about lower wages for higher costs of living (I live in Denver on a salary that is below any reasonable cost of living). However, I'm still not understanding what you mean by all this. Are you just frustrated with RP prices as a whole? How does cost of living and inflation really come into the fact that tax % increased/governments started taxing digital products and so Riot had to increase prices? This isn't Riot increasing prices to be mean or greedy; governments increased taxes or required more tax on the purchase of RP so either Riot loses a lot of money recalculating costs for RP to make it all cost the same price or they slightly increase the cost of RP to cover the tax cost.

I mean, literally read the article -- https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017537854/ -- Riot is being forced to collect tax on a digital good so price overall goes up.

Riot isn't the villain here. In fact, in the article they openly state that for a while they have been absorbing additional costs on products. Now, they can't reasonably do that anymore.

They have also, to compensate, given us additional refunds and extra bonus RP for a bit due to this inconvenience. They didn't need to do that. Riot does plenty of greedy things (Prestige skins anyone?) but this is not one of them. In fact, they are actively trying to balance this so that RP is equal in value globally.

Read Riot's actual quote on this yourself:

In the past, we handled these in different ways, either absorbing the cost or including it in the original pricing. Recently, more countries have added VAT/GST or similar taxes on digital goods (Australia, New Zealand, several in LATAM, USA digital sales tax). There’s also been a lot of currency fluctuation and inflation that has led to sizeable differences in the value of RP between currencies. The following price increases will help create a sustainable and consistent policy to ensure fairness between and within regions

So don't get mad at Riot; get mad at the economy and governments taxing RP.

You have absolutely no understanding of basic economics or business operations in any capacity. Stop throwing a temper tantrum. If a slight increase is that big of a deal for you, stop spending RP, start investing in your personal income, increase your income, and come back later. Or don't. It's not complicated.

You expect me and everyone else to beleieve poor tencent is gonna bo broke because of inflation. ****

How DARE you justify price increases for them. Or maybe they would go broke. Itd explain the time ive asked for a very reasonable refund on merch i bought for friends as i had found a better choice of gift and they refused to continue the convo on with their closing statement being. "Sorry you dont seem to understand our 'refund policy'"

Which after how insanely reasonable my request was considering it was mere hours after purchase i can only assume is something along the lines of 'we are going to abuse every mistake you make financiall and suk you dry any chance we get'. **** This price increase is ABSOLUTELY uncalled for simply on the basis that they already make plenty of money with how its done now.

The brilliance of of riot games at its finest. Raise prices by 15 percent and watch their sales plummet 30 to 40 percent. So what this policy has done is hindered their own financial progress and made more people hate them. ****

In Switzerland, the sales taxes decreased in 2018 from 8.0% to 7.7%. Currency rates USD/CHF is stable at pari since years and there is no Inflation since yearsin Switzerland.

Price for RP: +10%

That does make no sense. It‘s higher than the whole tax rate (which Riot pays since game release).

If Riot increase the prices, they should be honest.

I definitely haven’t read the full discussion around this, but wanted to add in this:

Super sorry you feel this way. It feels incredibly bad when it seems like you’ve been targeted by things like price changes (either individually or regionally). The only thing I can offer (which seems like others in the thread have been sharing) is an explanation that taxes and natural currency inflation rates are inevitable. I assume we held out as long as we could to do a readjustment, which may have been the wrong call (the other option being gradual price increases yearly etc). However hopefully the upcoming skins and content makes it worth the investment in the long term :).

So if a currency is stronger than Dollar (like the euro), and the taxes in said country are lower than U.S.A. the price of RP/currency will fall?

Oh, that is great. I didn't know it applied for digital goods. I thought that was only dependant on the sellers base of operations. So for example online shopping wouldn't have different taxes based on where the pc was when the purchase was made. Guess I was wrong

This is pretty false ... there is inflation, there is also deflation.

For 4 years, EU zone had an average 2% inflation, that's basically a 16% increase in prices.

EU in 2015, had 2000 RP at £10. Now it's 1650 RP at £10. Next time, it will cost in Uk 9% more. That's a wooping ... 21+9 (%) = 30% increase . 2x the inflation rate.

Taxes are the same

So blame it greed not inflation. Also, inflation on software is a stupid in such a short time spam, because inflation dictates average prices increase to goods, and entertainment goods experience nominal rigidity because they are not that depended on basic goods, they are more depended on wages increase. There is a reason PC games cost around 59.99% for ages.

So stop justifying greed. The game hasn't got better serves in EU, hasn't got better services, etc. Most actually can tell you the game has a decrease in quality.

Taxes are most certainly not the same. In fact, the 9% increase in the UK right now is solely due to tax increases, not due to inflation.

But in Switzerland, the VAT decreased from 8.0% to 7.7% in 2018. The currency rate is stable at pari and there is no inflation since years. But the price will increase 10%.

I understand that sometimes the prices raise. But the increase is very high (and for Switzerland and other countries for no good reason so high) and I have to say that the customer service of Riot is fall strongly in the last years. That is really sad.

Of course. Always make the cost go up, never down- when the circumstances call for it (global rates not only go up you know). Only increase. And Europe always suffers the most- you already increased it once, a long time ago and never reverted it when the time was right, now you do it again. We'll be spending even more and getting even less RP compared to the other regions. Much meritocracy, such fairness, wow.

You suck, confirmed.

Everything goes up in price as time goes on, it's called inflation and that's how the world works. They are giving out extra rp which is something they didn't need to offer so take advantage of that and grow up lol

I think you are forgetting that the game is free to play, and it is possible to earn all of the champions without buying RP. I never bought a champion using RP and only made purchases for skins. Riot has made the game more accessible to people without the means to make purchases.(IE the changes to runes) A price increase sucks sure, but expecting them to absorb the cost isn't realistic at all for any company. Riot would report losses to investors if they did something like that. Could they afford to do that technically? Yes, but do you want to see people lose jobs like what happened at Blizzard? I think the price increase is fair, not fun... but fair.

That sounds more like countries with high tax rates suck more than a company trying to make a living.

Are we gonna pretend like prices don't increase IRL?

Of course. Always make the cost go up, never down- when the circumstances call for it (global rates not only go up you know). Only increase. And Europe always suffers the most- you already increased it once, a long time ago and never reverted it when the time was right, now you do it again. We'll be spending even more and getting even less RP compared to the other regions. Much meritocracy, such fairness, wow.

You suck, confirmed.

Australia says hi.
