Today was announced that RP price is going up on all serves except the Chinese, the American and the Korean. EUNE +10% EUW +10% CANADA +13% OCE +13%
My concern is that this will reflect badly on Riot's profit and will result in worsened service from their side.

Don't get me wrong... I'm Canadian... and I hate price increases... but it's not greedy to alter prices when the value of the dollar changes. Canadians have been dealing with that with the price of EVERYTHING forever. Videogames went up by 10 bucks about a year and a half ago across the board(with a few exceptions), for example. Books typically cost 10-30% more up here... when the dollar gets close to even, stores start advertising that you can pay the USD price on the cover... this is nothing new, nor is it exclusive to Riot/Tencent.
I was angry too. Then I saw what you get with 10$ and what I get with 10€. And I felt bad for americans... I would prefer the other way, sincerely, but well, I'll survive.. only buy what u really want

Exactly, I don't know about the other regions but in EUNE this will drop sales by more than 20 % I believe. Despite whats written on Wikipedia that my and my neighboring countries have an average monthly salary of around 1000€ most of their population like 80%(Im in there somewhere) have salaries around 200 €. Not to mention that not all children that play have both of their parents employed.
Giving one 1/10 of your salary for DJ Sona was a very painful and hard decision, I mean I cut on my food quality FFS. I don't think Im gonna spend on RP any time soon, after this price raise.
Plz stop crying it not greed if they were being greedy they would bump all prices everywhere not just in those place. If they wanted to be greedy they would bump NA prices cause Riot is a USA company and it has the most players in NA. No more crying plz only person to blame is 
Actually, when Tencent first bought Riot they majorly reduced IP gains, so they showed how greedy they are LOOONG ago
You... you do realize that Canadians can still buy in USD, right? And that this change purely changes the RP gained when purchasing with CAD, right?
Basically, this only effects Canadians that do not purchase with USD. If they want, they can always change to USD, as the two are supposedly fairly priced after the change.
I really, really hope this doesn't turn into a sh!tstorm that takes over the forums for days.
This is the stupidest thing i've ever heard! Why would I have to pay more money for virtual stuff, its not like the value of real money affect virtual currency. Im sorry but when these changes come in place I wont buy RP anymore.
Go buy stuff.. it help the economy... Rito is trying to tell you this!
