You get 10 old coins by watching ads? I'm lucky to get 5. On the days where I get more gold like the 10 gold days, its actually less. I get 3-4 gold coins on those days. I can only assume that tomorrow will be one of those days. First of all this is not a free game. No matter how much you want to believe that. If it were free it wouldn't be available for us to use. 1. They get huge revenues from the advertisers 2. They get paid by those of us who make in app-purchases. Like myself and many others. 3. In some cases, if not all, I guess some of the car manufacturers pay for brand promotion.

Unless one started from the beginning there's no way to keep up or get ahead very far in the game. The practices of FM have changed so much since I started playing this game. I started playing 2 years ago and I remember being able to win cars with 2-3 upgrades. Now they required you to have a fully upgraded car if not close to it. Hence their exclusive series. For the LTS events the PR required to win the car is now very close to a fully upgraded car. Many of my series stands at 50 - 80% because the required PR to complete the events is too costly. Gold coins needed. Every little change FM makes is too increase their profit margin. I don't mind spending gold or supporting the game. I just think it's absurd that one has to pay $100 or more for a virtual car that if lucky you can use in 3 series. Finally it's possible to get more than 5 gold coins for watching ads. However that's based on region. It also changes at their whim. For example I got 5 coins one day, then I kept watching 10 ads or so. After that I got rewarded 4-5. After that I lost count of how many more ads I had to watch to get the next gold pay. That's more than just patience. I rather spent that time racing and getting fame points.
