Should I be grateful for the 5 donuts?
They should have taken 5 donuts from us. That would really have gotten your goat.

The one reason I don't pay for doughnuts is because I don't advocate EA's pay-to-win approach to this game. The premium items you buy with doughnuts do give you a competitive edge over those who don't, and that isn't fair when you're playing a game that is based on achieving goals and arguably strategy. Valve sells cosmetic premium items in their Mann Co store for TF2, but none give you an unfair advantage for winning.
Erm ... Pay-to-win? Competitive edge? Are we talking about the same game here? There is no "win" condition in TSTO, unlike TF2, so I don't really see what your issue is. There is no way to win, so choosing not to buy donuts puts you at no disadvantage whatsoever.
Or have I been playing the game wrongly for the past 18 months?
Premium items and characters gives you larger XP/cash boosts that you would otherwise not have. This permits you to finish quests more quickly and also to buy very expensive buildings/decorations much more quickly.
