I agree with Sorrow. The only reason why I still play was because I found out about the exploit. I understand that EA wanted to fix the bug, but triple+ the price is just too rich for a browser game.
I also disagree with @EE_Elephterion. EA controls the pricing, but I would wager that your input and others who have a direct line to the right people at EA would be a speedy adjustment to the prices.
Historically, when enough of the community complains loud and urgent enough in the forums; magically things happen to rectify the issue.
