If so, what would be the limit you would be willing to pay and what would you expect for the money? I would support a reasonable fee, 6.99 or less for exclusive content.
I may be willing to pay $25 a YEAR but I would expect a lot more content, better user support, and much more reliable servers/better programming to fix some of the issues. $6.99 per month? No way. And I would only be willing to pay that because I have already put over five years of my time into the game. I would never begin playing a game with a monthly or yearly fee (maybe a one-time download fee, but I haven't found one yet).
No, I'm happy to throw some money at the occasional scratch card, the odd platinum card and the once-in-a-blue-moon paid-for character, but I would not pay a monthly fee. If that was brought in, I would stop playing.
I'd support a monthly fee of that amount for an optional "prime membership" package. Access to a set amount per month of premium items, without needing donuts. Allowing unused benefit to rollover to the future months. Extra items, skins, etc. An enhanced version of the game. All sorts of software and websites and businesses offer different levels of optional perks for different rates. I see no reason for this to be any different.
If you're asking whether I'd pay a monthly fee simply to play the game... It's a moot issue. Pay-to-play is not an option for a game that is categorised as "freemium"

This is exactly what I am talking about. Exclusive content and tiers of users. The game can stay freemium for those that like the current format but enhanced for those that pay the fee.
they can have a monthly "fee", if they release content worth purchasing EVERY MONTH.
But just a "cover charge" to play the game? LOL NO, just like at bars, I do not pay for the privilege of buying your already expensive service. Exclusivity is a plague on society, perpetuated by greed. #resist
All my designs look unfinished because i can't place as many plants, streetlights, and fences as i would like. PLEASE REMOVE THE LIMIT, EA!

You're basically separating the gamers into haves vs have nots. There more than enough of that going on in the world nowadays.
Again. NO.

I like it how it is where its free to play with the option to purchase items from the store with donuts.
