I subscribe all what the OP has said, I just want to add that the problem is much worse than that.

I had the same experience, and my thought was in the beginning that, after all, if you play the game for free it's expected that it will turn out to be lame: of course to get a satisfying experience you have to spend real money. And here comes the big delusion, at least for me: Spending 20-50$ per year in the game doesn't change an inch this experience. Also with that price, the game experience is still lame.

It seems that there is a bunch of people (I have no idea of the numbers, but it's definitevly there, otherwise FM/EA would have changed the business model) that is willing to pay something like 50$ per months or above. And the gameplay is gauged according to that level of in app purchases.
