HEY
We play a very specific game. Here, after breaking down the fortress, the game ends, and there is no trace of the money spent. In WoW, LoL, etc., after buying something, we have it all the time we play (we are left with e.g. swords, armor, etc.). Therefore, I do not understand the prices in force here.
You've already spoiled the game with PvP and PvE fixes. Two things that were the asset of this game. Now they are only a source of irritation and complaint. The players accepted them with more or less reluctance. Now, however, you have crossed the Rubicon.
If you want to play at the right level, you need to spend a lot of time and money on it. I've been playing this game for several years. I tried to stop playing a couple of times, but always came back. Recent changes, however, resulted in a final goodbye to the game. Thanks to all EA from my wife ;) ), for helping me make my decision. I'll find something less burdensome.
P.S.
We have no direct influence on EA's decisions. The only thing that will hurt is to limit your cash flow. What you do is your business. However, I think smart players will have no trouble making a decision.
Best regards
