Just throwing this out there, without premium players like myself, Josh, and many others, there would be no game (it would have ended by now.) We keep this game running for you freemium players. The cash flow keeps this game running as long as EA is making a profit. In the process, EA is continually smacking us premium players in the face. I have seven trains. I didn't need another one. 2.5% to me doesn't mean much either. I'm making thousands per day. Or the casual five donut giveaway when things cost 150-300 to begin with. I'm sorry if most of you can't understand this, but the day that we stop paying for things is the day the game ends and you'll fully understand.
Actually there is no way of proving your point "without premium players like myself, Josh, and many others" because there could be hundreds more premium players that play the game without visiting the boards, or posting, or complaining.
And Humans being what they are, I don't foresee them ceasing their premium purchases, no matter how much they complain.
