Ea's bottom line is to make money.
So of course they are going to make the odds far out so that you need to buy donuts and put more money in their pockets.
If this becomes their method of business they won't last very long...
They will last just fine. People whine on this forum no matter what EA does, so how will it make any difference? From what I can see, EA's only "mistake" is giving us as players TOO MANY available free prizes to get them all without spending donuts. This is quite possibly in response to the complaining during the Valentine's Day event about getting many multiples of the same items after the wheel was cleared, i.e. that there were TOO FEW prizes for the length of the event. Given the vast differences in how people play this game, there is no way to get it just right for everyone, is there?
Don't mix up empty complaints with real complaints. If this nonsense goes on for too long people will stop playing. At this point people didn't stop playing only because they've invested a lot into this game. But remember everyone has limits, and from what I can see they're really testing them now.
This isn't just this failure, it's everything EA has been doing lately.
They've been letting huge bugs go rampant, and instead of fixing them they go and "fix" things that are just fine, and the wheel/boxes thing would be one of those things.
They've been skimping on content.
They've been increasing prices on premiums.
I mean should I really continue?
The whole point of a freemium game is to entice people to spend money not entice them to gamble it away. They were on top last year because they had a good business model, but now they threw that away for whatever reason. Personally I think it's because greed. Knowing EA's history that's all they seem to care about.
