There are only two costs to using the xp collider
1. The donuts to turn it on.
2. The increase in xp/level as you level up.
Cost 2 goes away after level 939. Then you are magically earning 5x as many donuts (minus cost 1).
Sorry, I'm dense and still not getting it. It seems like you are just approaching infinity at a faster rate with the Collider. What mechanism, apart from the element of time, is giving you 5x as many donuts?
Let's say you need 100k xp for each level, and you get rewarded 1 donut each level. That would cost you 1 million Money each level (not counting conform-o-meter bonus to simplify example), because you get approximately 10% of the cost of an item back in xp. Let's say you have 100 million Money available to spend and spend it all. That's 100 levels and 100 donuts.
Now, instead, turn on the XP Collider, which will multiply each xp reward by 5. (Also ignore the cost of 5 donuts.) That 100 million Money will get you 500 levels and 500 donuts. At this point you're out of Money.
Now, go raise another 100 million Money. When you earn that, turn on the Collider again and earn another 500 donuts, or don't turn it on and only earn 100 donuts. Continue this cycle: raise, donut farm, repeat.
I hope you're getting it now. You'll always be 5 times ahead of where you'd be otherwise. Do this just five times and you'll have 2500 donuts versus 500 donuts. Getting there faster doesn't really matter here...because you don't care about levels, you care about donuts. Theoretically, according to my example, you'll be on level 2560 versus level 560. You'll eventually get to the actual final level of 939 some day, or you'll be way past it if you use the collider, but the only important thing is that you'll have 5 times as many donuts. Levels only really matter when it comes to calculating how much xp each one requires, but that's pretty stable now.

I enjoy the gameplay too, people who are rushing to grab the donuts as quick as possible are missing out on all that in the panic that EA might change it all again.
