I currently have over 3000 Donuts. Bloodmobile farmed, since there's little else left to do with my vast swathes of ingame dollars (except when fences come up). Buying these extra donuts is pointless to me.
This Friday though, EA decides to offer something that you can ONLY get by paying money. Quite a lot of money, in a short space of time, in an otherwise free game. You can't earn or buy golden tokens in any way other than real, actual money. Not even with donuts.
Hey, it could have been a great money sink. 1 million Springfield Dollars per Golden Token. That's a lot of money some of us could have gotten rid of, as more and more people hit their money caps.
This sale is aimed specifically at Whales. This is also a test to find out how many people will actually participate in this kind of Event.
I don't know if EA has done something like this golden token thing before on TSTO or wherever.
But it is very common on Mirrors of Albion run by Games Insight, I can't remember the circumstances of it though, I don't think it was a boss fight, if I rightly remember I didn't play it much because the freemium tokens didn't get as far as premium ones.
I used to play it, I stopped to concentrate on TSTO.
Perhaps it's because Disney are now involved and there are some ideas they want to try.
That said, you have to pay the developers to run and maintain a free game somehow.
