Not really, you're just being extra-sensitive about it.
American fans caring or not caring about what you pay doesn't affect or change your prices and never will. Those of us that are sympathetic will be and often state our sympathies, but it doesn't help us be sympathetic when you RoW members are in every thread complaining, griping, and jumping down our throats about us kvetching over our own prices here.
We have every right to complain about what we pay, just as you have every right to complain that your prices are even higher, but if you want Americans to care, stop acting like we're spoiled for doing
exactly what you're doing just because we pay less. We don't control your prices(much less our own) and we can't change any of it.
We can only really complain about what WE experience, anything else is disingenuous. Those that don't care what you pay do so because it's not something they need to worry about. We all have enough in our lives to worry about without adding "Man, this price sucks, I wonder how much more it sucks for so-and-so because they're somewhere else".
I mean, we can talk unfair to other countries in hobbies, like Games Workshop banning intercontinental sales of their products for Australian so that their forced to pay 3x as much as RoW and not given the chance to import from the US or UK for the cheaper price.
Empathy, it's not what's for dinner.
