i want a cool brown house and i want it now!!

Exactly my point. EA can't do much about people buying donuts from third party sites. Spend $500 dollars in game for everything, or spend $10 and get nearly unlimited donuts from some hack.

The only thing keeping people from doing that is their own ethics, the fear of getting scammed out of cash, the worry that their account will be closed, and the legitimately good desire to help support the game so that it will continue to get new content. On the other hand, when the only option to buy something is to go to a hacker, EA makes the mistake of pushing people who are actually willing to spend those large sums on donuts into looking for any option to get limited time items, and at the moment, that seems to be using those hacking sites.

I hope they make more of an effort to bring a purchase option to those people who want past items, because in that regard, it isn't a choice between the shady black market or the overpriced legitimate EA store, its either the back alley or nothing at all.
