Now, I will NOT pay for any of the standard gold packages. A rip off. Is this truly a better financial route for the monekys?? Doubt it. Go for the WIN WIN Fire Monkeys, bring it back, make your customers satisfied and happy with you, and increase your bottom line. WIN WIN

I bet EA is looking at the bottom line - and ads are what pay their bills I'm sure. Sure some would buy the card AND watch the ads, but many will only do one or the other. The more we watch ads, the higher they can sell those ad block for, so driving us to watch more ads is the way they make more money.

Having said that if you could pay a small amount and have your ad values doubled for x number of days, that would be a win win I'd imagine. A route for those who want to pay to get more gold, and a way to ensure EA gets their ever so precious ad views.
