I know you need to defend FM due to your relationship with them, but I don't feel you are seeing things from a player's perspective now. Exactly. I just can't understand that: they are introducing a new car to a series. That new car costs, let's say, 500 gold coins and 1.500.000 R$ to upgrade enough for series completion. Now they can't reward players getting that car and recompleting the series with normal amount of 28 or 30 gold coins?!? Instead they are offending them with 3 or 4 GC. This is nonsense. Actually it's their business model. As long as their bean counters tell them people are giving them enough money doing it this way, they're going to keep doing it this way :-( So, if you go for a model where they pay you big recompletion rewards, but to offset it, they add 5 Gold per tier 2 Gold Upgrade, you would trick yourself into being happy but you are absolutely no better off.

That is the main reason marketers feel that the average consumer is an easy mark.
