It's the OP here.

In addition they have dramatically reduced payout in team evens in the last couple of weeks; I used to regularly get 0.2-0.5M rewards with my now small two-member team, but the next one will only start paying R$ 200K to the top 2000 teams –so there goes away another reasonable way we had to make R$. Every change they make is another nail in the coffin, probably under the unrealistic, wishful thinking that users will eventually be pushed to spend hundreds or thousands of real money to play their game. When they are out of business or EA dramatically restructures their company they will cry and wonder why it happened. I'm sure my 9 year-old boy would take much more sensible business decisions than what the monkey management can put together by themselves.

Let's take one simple example: Last (black) Friday I would have gladly spent 30 Swiss francs (about the same in US$ or Euros) to buy 1K gold. Their monkey thinking is that they are better off if I pay 20 francs for 183x2 gold coins. OK, monkeys, I don't know if they have made their maths, but their net revenue from me so far this year is not 30 francs, but the awesomely round amount of nil, zero, nada, niente, rien de rien. Multiply that times thousands of people like me, who will only pay when we feel that the price is fair, regardless of our financial position, and there you have it; a lot of money forgone by the greedy monkeys. Add all the people that were monetized directly or indirectly who have quit the game tired of bugs and greed, and there you have it again. I'm afraid RR3 has embarked in a downward spiral that will eventually, and in not a long time, kill this game. The only sensible business background of all this is the possibility that FM may be trying to milk the game in its last stages before releasing RR4.
