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.
12500 cells was 1700 uah around 41$ now it's 55$ (2300 uah) which is kinda huge :((
1100 cells was 170 uah
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 work
Wow. 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)

Yeah I think they made it that people from other countries can't buy them that cheap anymore? 🤔
— not the answer to it! it was a mistake oops :D —
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

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?
I think this is the only reason they would do this 😥
yea honestly this is so scummy from them, and i have decided to not purchase anything in dbd again. i suggest u do the same
the price increase in ukraine for auric cells is absurd and extremely scummy, never supporting this game again

wait really?
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.
