I can agree completely. I am getting frustrated with EA's approach to these recent events. First, their complete lack of communication has always been an issue, and it continues to be a sore point for myself and many other players. Their poor communication coupled with their inconsistency across events is maddening. During the Superhero Event, the Act II prize collection did not start until you were finished with the Act I section and prizes. However, that was the complete opposite during this event. Now I have the option of spending 255 donuts for the Buns softball skin. Yeah right!! I already experienced a similar encounter during an event and the Hover Copter. It was the final prize of the First Act prizes during an event and I could not get it without spending donuts to rush. I believe I spent around 80-100 donuts. Now it is for sale again for much less.
But specifically addressing one of the OP's main concerns, I agree about everything being released as a premium item is absolutely ridiculous. It is complete BS actually. Whatever happened to us spending our in game cash during events. They used to release a nice balance between new premium items, items for in game cash, and items for event currency. But now everything is either premium, or a incredibly high amount of event currency. Why does our in game cash become basically unused during events.
I am premium, but I have my limits. Now I realize nobody is forcing me to buy all of these items. But I still believe there should be more choice from the new items for freemium players.
