The cap isn't showing that EA is being greedy, EA are just listening to us, people complain about not having anything to do even though events are still running, so EA decided to limit our play so we play less each day but more days in total. And also even you were to get everything on day one EA wouldn't lose donuts they would lose monorail tracks which (if they are going to stick around) would be for in game cash like SP tiles not donuts. Another sign that this cap isn't EA being greedy is the fact that it doesn't have any effect once we get the last prize, its like EA saying "oh well, we tried slow them down but it didn't work he still has X days to spare, let's just let him get as many tracks as he can while still sticking to the event". And another thing EA is giving us 6 donuts (probably the average amount a player would earn by playing an event hack/glitch free) this act for nothing because they probably knew that people would be complaining about not getting any donut opportunities as usual.

TLDR: EA aren't being greedy

I get what you are saying but i disagree. Limiting players until the very end unless they purchase donuts to spend and get ahead is strictly a business decision that only benefits EA. If they were doing it for the benefit of players there would be no cap. I personally like being able to ahead as I can't rely on being able to play consistently every day. Weekends are hard for me to play. I have much more going on versus when I am at work. Having a cap forces me to either lose out on the days i can't and hope i can catch up with the cap or use donuts.

If you like the pace that's great. I don't. I don't like being limited by a company on how much i can play in a day unless i spend money to progress further. It comes off as greedy. That's just how i feel. I'm sorry if i come across as defensive and i hold nothing against you at all. I am just very frustrated with this event and the increasing prices on premium items. Its getting harder to accumulate donuts and the end of events were ways for me to get extra donuts to spend. I was considering buying donuts to supplement those i got after this event but now i feel differently.

I'm sorry for venting. As a freemium player who loves this game it just really irked me to see EA set a limit like i see on other free to play games. I don't like it.
