All prices are up 20%...

Round about.

Okay, it is the right of Plarium to set the prices they see are justified for their game content. 

I am not sharing their opinion. 

It is my right and choice not to pay those prices...

What do you think about the new prices?

1.) Justified

2.) Worth paying

3.) too expensive now

4.) Switching to F2P

5.) Always been F2P

So before any riots, this is specifically due to Apple increasing all prices in their stores by 20%. Plarium didn't actually do anything to cause this price increase.

Case in point, there are no price increases as of yet on my Android devices, although I am told to expect that Android will raise their own store pricing to match Apple Store.

To keep their pricing the same as before, Plarium would have needed to reduce their pricing to make up for Apple's increase. Maybe that is something people would expect, I don't know, but lowering your prices cause a middle man increases their pricing seems a lot to ask.

Personally I am a very very low spender. I bought the first Bolster Forge Pass, I thought it was worthwhile. I didn't get the second one. The Warrior's Circle packs usually look great to me, but I don't get, focusing on snagging F2P resources. So while I'm not #5, I'm fairly darn close.

As it pertains to the pricing beginning with Apple:

Per Cold Brews latest video on the subject, from a few days ago: https://youtu.be/8FOOIo85bQw?t=35

The price increase is on the PC client...

i

Just an example from the bank....all other prices on Plarium Play (PC) have increased about 20%....

Mine has not increased on the PC client, but then I'm not in Europe, where Apple raised their prices. 

Unfortunately, it seems keeping a consistent pricing model means an increase on the PC client too.

For example, my Warrior's Circle offers are the same price as always, at least for now. I guess we shall see if and when that might change here in North America.

Let me tell u about plarium prices...

Take a look this Souldstone offer, so for 33€ they give x9 moral stones 

i


how deliberately constructed is this, 

-1 miss just to make u do second buy and lets say u buy twice,

 again its 18 mortals soulstones again not enough to pull twice ten by ten, 

so again u are forced to buy x1 small offer 17 € to buy additial x4 mortals...

total 83€ for 22 mortal soulstones lol 

this is just so shameless total RIP-OFF

Can we answer multiple choices to the question in OP?  If so, I would say justified and always been FTP.  I think if Apple and Android are increasing their prices then unfortunately Plarium do need to increase theirs to match, otherwise the existing margin is lost.

That said, I have always been FTP largely because of the challenge, and not necessarily because I don't like paying for content.  I actually do enjoy Raid and if there was proper cosmetic changes at a decent price I would probably spend some money in the game.

In any event, I don't expect that any of these price changes would affect the whales or krakens of the world so it probably won't change much

I was already on the way to (4), having bought 1st bolster FP, some shards to complete dreng fusion, and 2-3 other small things. This has been pretty good value to get my account into the interesting part of the game.

But with the insane soulstone prices and now this, I'm pretty happy to predict that I won't spend any more on the game.

I just want to say I hate apple and apple products, they have always been subpar and a ripoff.

Did they raise their eu pricing because they were forced to switch their phones to usb-c so they can't keep putting out new charges for every phone each year further ripping off their customer base?

About as sophmoric as a joke gets on this one, buddy.

Try again, but funny this time :D :D
