Just say no

I completely agree. We need to stand up and be loud.

However, after talking to my boyfriend (Japanese), I'm disheartened to hear... the Japanese community is mostly POSITIVE about the announcement. 75% of people polled said they would be happy to pay for the app and some even said they would pay MORE. When I expressed my concerns to my bf, he told me that the player base they target in Japan is mostly adults with a steady income, where this is their only form of entertainment and so they have no issues to pay for it and have the traditional mindset of Japanese people where paying more = quality.

So we really need to push back hard if we want to make it clear that the western player base won't stand for it. But seeing the feedback from the Japanese community.... I'm not sure if it will make a difference. :/

They get polled? (do we?) Do you have a Source? Is this an official poll or just a player asking random Japanese people in the servers?

Personally I find it hard to tell if they like it or not because there hasn't been a single topic in the JP forums about it - positive or negative.

I went to do a quick look, there is a thread that got nercoed and found this:

from my understanding they are complaining the cost is too much (I/e you are not getting enough for 500 yen price tag) in other words this poster like more functions to meet a 500 yen value or reduce the cost down to say 200 yen.

I still find it disappointing as locking retainer UI management on a second sub is ridiculous
