An increase of £7 a month to £10 a month over 10 years is well within the realms of reasonable inflation. You complain that is an 11% rise this year, but ignore all the previous years when there was no increase at all.
A comparison of charged between the UK, EU and US has to taken into account local taxation rates and currency fluctuations.
It's still one of the cheapest out there.

9.99 brittish pound is according to this website 12.4655 EUR so wtf are you complaining about? Maybe they should just remove the option to pay with pounds and let the UK pay with 12.99 Euro like the rest of EU. Even here in Sweden we can't use our own currency on battle.net.
There are plenty of websites where you can buy prepaid codes in dollars.
As stated so many times. It doesn't matter who pays what. The issue is an 11% price hike for "reasons" Why people think anyone should be ok with a price increase is beyond common sense. And the whole "eu pays more" argument has been beaten to death already. It holds no water at all.
I did mention the whole making all EU based transactions Euro only. But then UK would still pay less on currency conversion and people would still cry about it

You think its ok to just throw an 11% price hike in? Who pays more is irrelevant to the discussion. It's a very very weak argument to try and justify it
wow who wouldve thought. its just blizz being greedy for $$ since that's all they care about. nothing new here
Which consumer? The UK consumer which didn't go with the Euro or the rest of the EU/ Europe which decided to go with the Euro.
In the mind of the UK consumer why should they pay more when they didn't go with/ forced to use the Euro. Now it would not matter they updated the price every month so one month the Pound would have to spend more then preveous months but it doesn't. Blizzard decided to increase the price because they wanted the price to be "fairer" when it isn't in the view point the the UK citizen.
Which is why they should update all of the subscription fees so it doesn't feel like Blizzard is just targeting the UK. Which is most likely why the other UK posters seem so annoyed is because blizzard was targeting one country/ countries. Or they could atleast update all of Europe.
You would think that after once again leaving us without content for a year they'd be doing their best to ingratiate themselves with their customers instead of trying to milk us harder.
