An actual EA response acknowledging how horrible the Global Trade is? Hahaha.
I have almost 500,000 simoleons, but it is next to impossible to actually buy something in the GTHQ.
If were able to sit in a planning session with the functional designers, I would say:
We want to encourage people to spend money our game. How can we accomplish that? Let's make it easier for the players to spend their simoleons. Then, they will spend money to buy more simeoleons so they can buy the stuff they want. I mean, we even tell the players that is what the GTHQ is for: "To buy and sell items they need".
We should do something. The reviews in the Google Play Store are trending negatively. In the last week alone, there were only a few 4 and 5 star ratings. Mostly, the reviews were 1 and 2 star ratings. We must be doing something wrong.
After saying that, I would probably be escorted out of the building for saying ludicrous statements.
