Buying to improve is backwards

I've got to the point were I think this entire update is designed so the player base shrinks even more and EA/CG can justify closing it down to shareholders. It's lost 50% in active players over the last 6 months any shareholder report will show that. Halve your player base and the remaining half have to spend double the amount just to get the same return, that isn't going to happen at some point the players who spend a bit every month like me will stop, the realisation of the fallacy of invested returns(what returns) will kick in. I'm just treading water incase CG see the massive error they've made with the update, i always have 2wks at Xmas minimal play but this 13mGP account may well be moving on to something else.
