EA's crappy maths is ruining this Event!! (rant)

I agree with the OP totally - this update is a blatantly pushing people to either spend a ton of real cash or quit playing.

Personally I dont mind paying a little here and there for the pleasure of what is essentially a good, entertaining game.....but the sheer volume of prizes seems to dictate that spending a LOT will be needed.

I'd rather stop playing than be manipulated into this kind of spend!
