Why ? I was saving to buy the biggest pack during Halloween, grab DLC chars, skins, but that's off the table now. The question is also rhetorical. Not a single excuse (answer) will change anything. Thank you for this. I'll save my money and continue as is. Have all the perks I need in any case. Now it's just a matter of the principle not to give you any more funds or support you.
Cheers, mates.

The same thing happened in Brazil several months ago. It's annoying, but I'm sure there's some kind of reasoning behind it. Not much we can do. 😔

Hmm.
Ukrainian minimum hourly wage seems to be
34 UAH
(USD 0.92/hour)
From google.
But the Ukrainian average minimum hourly wage seems to be
130 UAH
(USD 3.38/hour)
Maybe they bumped up the price to hit near the average?
What was the price before?

What was the price before? Kinda curious given I want to compare it to the Canadian/USA minimum hourly wages.

Sadly I don't have a picture from the prices before. I only remember that the highest pack was 1491.00

They also increased price of some DLCs and game itself in Kazakhstan and (i suppose) UA not so long ago

Hmm.
So Before:
500 cells was (likely) 85 UAH
Minimum Hourly Wage = 34 UAH/hr
85/34 = 2.5 hrs of work
Average Hourly Wage = 130 UAH/hr
85/130 = 0.65 hrs of work
US Minimum = $7.25/hr
$5/$7.25 = 0.69 hrs of work
US Average Hourly Wage = $28.37
$5/$28.37 = 0.17 hrs of workWow. Yeah your local minimum wage workers got shafted. (Though it is unknown what the mode is for either Ukraine or US, and if there are outliers that inflate that average).
Were it to follow the US pricing I'd have imagined it to be:
500 cells = 24 UAH
24/34 = 0.70 hrs of work
24/130 = 0.18 hers of work(But also likely adjusted to meet server cost demands for the region).
(Also with protections to prevent methods of purchasing Auric cells from Ukraine for use in other countries)1 -
I decided to buy the auric cells (500 cells) this time and I really noticed that the prices have grown for my Ukrainian region, please return 85 uah for 500 cells
