For the USA - 1.15%
For Russia -7.5% (before the price change - 2.5%)
This clearly shows why people are so outraged by the price change.
What you don't seem to understand is that in the countries with higher wages, we also have a MUCH higher cost of living. So while I can understand that you are all upset over the new price, many others have been paying full price all along who are no better off than you are.
What I DO understand is that doubling (or tripling in Russia's case) with no notice is wrong. Especially right after a huge expansion. I don't care where you live, that would make anyone upset. I would be furious. Yes, the ToS says SE can do this at any time but I think it's not right.
