Faced with a full 100% increase on taxes – from 1% to a harrowing 2% at the Grand Exchange market – Old School RuneScape players reacted the only way they knew how. The MMO has a storied history of in-game protests, so like the medieval farmers they technically are, players revolted against this exploitation (it's actually probably a good thing) and one brave soul recreated their very own Boston Tea Party by chucking cups into the harbor.
As an American raised and educated in the South, the Boston Tea Party is one of those things that I saw romanticized within an inch of its life, but in fairness I'm pretty sure it did involve more than one dude throwing 28 cups of tea on the ground at the end of a port. But we all do what we can, and that's what Reddit user Jesus-Bacon, a fittingly American name, planned as their grand act of defiance.
