Yep it's also costing me 14 gold pieces to make 1 gold speed up token. It's gone from 10 to 12 to 14 😞
Lucky for me I have more tokens than I care to spend hehe. I'm just trying to make one of each design, so hard to get the last few.
Somebody contacted EA and asked about that and they said the number of parts you need increases the more tokens you have created... yeah, a typical EA stunt... so basically, you can never be sure how many tokens you'll make (per day) because the more tokens you make, the more parts you'll need to make more... the support guy also said "I promise it won't keep increasing indefinitely"... great, that's some consolation then...
It now costs me 16 gold token pieces to make 1 gold speed-up token.
I haven't even built any new projects since I last updated that it was costing 14.

Ouch that's not very fair for those of us who just started building the epic's and are going for the gold and have no intentions of stop building , would love to see a copy of their response to your question

I'm not exactly sure what or who you were replying to. In many cases it helps if you quote the message you are replying to so it makes it easier to understand who you are responding to and they could then respond to your question. After you hit reply, just hit the quote on the top right and type your response underneath. Do this especially if the message you are responding to is not the last message in the thread. It helps a lot with context.
you may be able to edit your response and add in the quote, I'm not sure, never tried it that way.
Thank you I didn't realize I was doing it wrong .
I've just been using the reply button when commenting, I did not realize I was doing it wrong my apologies
this was in response to the amount of speed up tokens in ratio to the amount of epic buildings being produced ...

The greater number of epic buildings and receiving less speed of tokens if that makes sense

The number of parts increases when you have created (completed) more tokens.
I don't see how this system is "unfair" to anybody because it's the same for all players... of course it's annoying, but personally, the limit of 5 tokens you can own at one time (unless you win them) bothers me much more than the increasing number of fragments needed. They want to limit the stuff you can get for free so you're more likely to spend money, that's just how the game (and EA) works...
That said, I think you get plenty of free play out of SimCity and you can play it quite nicely without spending money or spending only a few dollars (in total, not per month) and I quite like the epic buildings. - I'm not entirely sure about the mayor's contest yet but we'll see how that works out once I get into it (was on vacation for a while...)
