But from a Consumer point of view you can't argue a case a player is down X amount of Gold is a breach of any sort. It is a hypothetical gain which may or may not occur, not a defined one like IAP and it is offered as a bonus.

It is not an obligated right to receive free ads and as such cannot be treated as a denial of service. To look at it another way, if the advertisers decided to stop doing ads tomorrow, would you say that FM have an obligation to continue free ads? And secondly fund it from their own pocket? Of course they don't and no-one would force them to either. That argument holds for buying gold at normal times but my last purchase was because of a sale made by FM. I got two offers from FM to purchase 1000GC for £15. I felt both purchases were:

a) Good value for money

b) Paying for all the good gaming I'd enjoyed over the last two years

To then find out that I'm actually worse off for taking advantage of a sale is a kick in the teeth quite frankly.
