Glad to see I'm not the only one that's annoyed with this game :)
I only came back because of lock down boredom and I'm sorry I did. Somehow got roped into starting three worlds and I'm not likely to finish any of them due to this price jack. The Argentina loophole was a double edged sword for me, funds were cheaper but I was going through them 50K's like there was no tomorrow.
There were no RT packs when I quit this game years ago but on return I soon realized that with enough funds you can literally buy a top spot on the board and play the game more instead of waiting to play like many others were doing with the "cheaper funds"
So now I have maxed out SP on each world and caps that are going to end in the near future, I'm not prepared to spend the insane amount of money it would now cost to keep burning through SP like I was doing before even though it actually was an insane amount of money to be spending on a web browser game that's not really anything special to be fair.
I'm sure you'll get the odd few with unlimited spare cash willing to buy that top spot but I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a browser game.
I worked it out to about 30K to scrape by on three worlds every 30 days and even that seems like a rip off now lol, obviously it would be much less fun too so I'm thinking why bother, I think it's time to go back into rehab, stop living my life around this money sucking addiction and move on but not at least finishing the worlds I started before I do is annoying me :)
ps. gamerdruid probably gets funds for free and soixie is an EA employee/shill so....
