Wow! That was a long diatribe. I really stirred up a hornet's nest with you.
Yes, it should take into account previously spent moneys.

Just since Tapball? I thought you'd been here longer. I started playing at the tail end of Clash of Clones so about a year before.

How long have you been out..... It depends on how long you've been out, but EA implemented a lot of incentives to purchase donut packages
I stopped in April of 2018, apparently just before the tish hit the fan. They had some donut packages back then, but nothing I was willing to spend money on.

Including two buildings that generate 6 donuts every day! ("Costs" $50) I obtained the Lard Lad Factory Version, another versions exists and it's possible they may implement a new version this year....
I ran across something about that but I don't have good details. But $50 for 6 donuts a day? Bleh.

They also Bundled special Characters withe certain Donut Packages.... This blew up in their face when they offered one of these characters in a Mystery Box, where many people lost their collective Shittake Mushrooms and asked for refunds.
Nope, hadn't heard about that.

The forums actively encourage not spending donuts and taking advantage of various strategies. HOWEVER, EA has created several bundles, including an EXP Generator bundle that are highly recommended even by players who would rather stay Freemium.
I definitely hadn't heard anything about an XP Generator. Do go on...

The problem with Freemium.....is it's free. If we paid a base fee less people would buy it, however since it's free more people download it!
Yeah, but I'm just suggesting the game be a tiny bit less Free and a tad more Mium. I mean I'm a well known cheap a** b*stard and I don't think $1.99 a year (after the year is over no less) is excessive. And not to keep playing, but just to keep generating a bunch of donuts.

Plus EA implemented something similar a while back.... They capped the daily donuts obtained at 300!
Um..... Say WHAT now? There's a daily limit? When did this happen. And why do people keep touting the ability to make enormous amounts of donuts by KEM farming? I just did a web search and can't find anything about a daily donut cap. Are you sure about that?
I spent about 1k throughout the years, I'd rather not invest more cash in this game, and until EA fixes the "Glitch" I don't think anyone should invest heavily in the game....
It's unfortunate but true.
EA needs to step up their act.
WAS a limit.
Okay I'd have to scout the forums, but it happened for a week or so?
The forums were buzzing with complaints and eventually they undid the "
unintended cap"
Here's the Frink Deal that is super worth it:

Black Friday offers:
spend a total of $50 and you unlocked several items, the final tier being a special building that permanently generates 6 donuts every 24 hours.

CostMo was meh, I didn't like the design, so I didn't spend, given the fact that the building generates DONUTS, I doubt EA will ever re-release it as a prize in a mystery box.
Plus the Lard Lad Factory looks pretty cool, so I did pick it up.
EA needs to offer better bundles is all.
A Butterfly Skin for Maggie?
A Serf skin for SVT?
.....nah.

Correction the cap was 1000 a day, not three hundred.
Here's some threads discussing it:

So yeah, EA definitely did try to cap donut farming (at high amounts of a thousand...) But people complained and it was undone, if they tried to implement that again.... I shudder to think what the forums would say.
