No More $ From Me

No more $ from me. I’ve payed every 6 weeks since the extra “premium” mayor’s pass was introduced. I could justify it with the rewards, but this “exciting” new change has put an end to that. Too bad, this was a fun game, but I see the end is in sight. RIP.

  • Both myself and most of my team agree and sounds like most are going to quit or sit this season out and see of EA gets the message

  • No. Keep playing with a free account and try not to click on any ads. Let's show the game developers that launching money grabbing updates do not work with us, The Players.

  • People will keep paying unfortunately. Some will quit, but I'd say the new frequency of payments will offset that loss.

  • Yep. Agree. Been playing for 7 years. I know hundreds of players throughout discord. I am seeing most saying that they will no longer play com, others quit game entirely, and a few others just vowing to cheat now. EA wants to make it harder and harder, and DECREASE rewards. I don't know WHO at EA makes these decisions but is so far out of touch with players. Myself, i am just going to finally put the game down entirely. The trains update requiring a whole new storage, items, and currency just to do war rep[airs was over the line for me.

    I'm playing more (which increases bandwidth usage and server costs), while not watching ads or paying of anything.

    @Forgotten_Woods Sadly you are right. Though if more of us play for free including not playing ads, or at least very few and of course no in game offers, then we as a huge team could force them to do what is right.

    This may take more than one season, as the game developers love to play the waiting game to see if players will cave into their greedy updates. They will claim they are working on a fix, but they are not until the lack of income forces them to make better changes.
    How long did it take them to remove the failed billboards on every map? My guess is over a year.

    I miss playing the Plus Pass as everyone else not paying this season, but no way am I going to pay the same for fewer rewards.

    I feel like overall activity in the game has dropped, I have no evidence to support my feeling, but my club is way less active, and I traveled to multiple clubs with my feeder city and well, it was dead in every random club I joined. No chat for days.

  • Came here to say the same thing. I’ve paid for the premium mayors pass for as long as I can remember because the 1k cash and 10k war points made it worthwhile. Now it’s been reduced to 550 cash and 6k war points I’m not bothering. If it’s not back to how it was by the next season then I’ll probably give it up altogether as it was the only thing keeping me engaged. Sort it out EA

    Being realistic, the thought occurs that EA couldn't sort out the proverbial booze-up in a brewery....
