Money Grab
Has anyone else felt in the last 18 months especially the last 6 months, that this game has turned into a pure money grab game? I’ve been playing now about 10 -12 years & have absolutely loved it, lo...

I agree with you absolutely. The fiasco with the trains being forced on certain people to do their playtesting for them was a blatant example of EA taking advantage of users rather than pay for proper playtesting - something for which I never have (and never will) forgive them..
Then the tiered rewards for completing assignments have been reduced and requirements for completing assignments have been increased. I'm at level 99, have reached tier 21 in the rewards section (having paid for the Mayors+ premium option), and after getting my daily simoleons to complete the daily assignment, found that I'd reached the weekly cap for this week! Consequently, any assignments I complete (until next Wednesday when the cap is reset) will NOT contribute to increasing my level as far as the tiers are concerned. Thanks for that, EA, very considerate of you. Grab my money but prevent my assignments from contributing to my tier rewards. FAIR??? You don't begin to know the meaning of the word.
This is a perfect example of the grasping, conniving, miserly attitude of EA over the last year or so, where the almighty dollar is all that matters to them. ****** the players without whom they would make nothing. 'Let's think up the best ways of squeezing the the last penny out of our players. Who cares if we reduce their enjoyment, and make playing the game into a massive chore rather than a truly enjoyable game experience? Let's inflate the prices for all additions to the game - especially the new buildings! Who cares if some players walk away? With luck we'll make more profits from those idiots who will pay our prices! Let's throw them a bone to make it seem like we care - 15 greenback a day, for example?'
Wow! I'm stunned and overwhelmed by EA's generosity, through which they hope to cover up their grasping 'give us your money' ethic, of which, frankly, I'm sick to death.
EA won't take any notice of this post, simply because they don't have any regards for the players; all they care about is the money they can grab from us. And I fear that this situation is only going to continue to degenerate in direct proportion to their greed.
Simcity Buildit Mayors:
After many-many years of reading all the complaints about EA and this game, we have after 10 year and 11 months of playing come to this conclusion: the only way EA is going to listen is through your pocket-book. We have stopped all payments to EA over this game. We are putting our words into action by voting with our money instead of spending it.
We can change the horizon but we would all have to stand together on this. We have learned through the years that certain avenues such as this one is just a sounding board in where you can vent your complaint without any real action to fix. If one is really interested in trying to change that horizon, purchase one share of common stock of EA and then this will give you a better voice and a place where this company will listen to you. But for now as long as players keep spending their hard earned dollars on this game - nothing is going to change.
