Donut farmers are cheaters
You could've had bad luck in who you interacted with. To be fair, the multiplier and almost 7 number daily income are huge and this possibly made the employee jump to a conclusion (which he/she should...

If you never paid a cent you shouldn't be farming donuts. And then have the audacity to complain to the company for whom your STEALING FROM. How is it fair that someone who's spent jack on this game have a higher % then someone who's been paying? As I've said...how you haven't been banned yet is beyond.
As I’ve noted before in other contexts, I’m neither a donut farmer nor a freemium player, but I nevertheless strongly disagree with just about everything you’ve said here. A certain style of game play is either legal or it’s not legal; I find morally dubious the implied notion that paying players are somehow entitled to perform actions that should be denied to freemium players. Or that EA help reps are entitled to treat freemium players like second-class citizens. Let’s be clear — donut farming is not stealing and there is no reasonable justification for the idea that one should be banned for practicing it. As I’ve said elsewhere, if EA wants to stop or limit the practice via changes to the software, more power to ’em.
The OP said he never spent a dollar on this game. And now has a 1100% bonus and makes 150 donuts a day. I'm premium (every item and fully decorated town) and have a 527.35% bonus. There is no way he could've gotten that many donuts to raise his bonus from a hundred (not sure what the standard freemium %) or so to 1100%.
Look:
1 whale is 300 donuts & 7%
He would need 157 whales to be close to 1100%
300×157=47,100 donuts.
How can a freemium player get almost 50,000 donuts honestly?
Now you’re talking about specific numbers related to claims made by the OP. I’m not the least bit interested in whether the OP is being honest in his tale or whether it’s fabricated. I was responding solely to the general statements you made in your follow-up post about the relative merits and rights of paying versus freemium players and about the legality of donut farming.
