If EE is saying he doesn't control funds pricing, might be accurate. I'm guessing they have the ability to control the package pricing. If the costs will continue to stay elevated, they should consider reducing the costs associated with packages; i.e premium supply pack currently "discounted" for 19,999 funds. Reduce that by ~30% so you get an additional purchase out of your 50k funds. It doesn't solve the issues of the purchasing, but it offers options for those that are continuing on with the game. Should reduce all the costs associated tbh...
