Talk:Jaguar C-X75 R3 Spec Championship (v7.0.5)/@comment-28169398-20190125014208/@comment-28169398-20190125152359

These comments are always interesting, because they are not my experience. My experience is actually that Firemonkeys heavily subsidizes the players activity in the game. In a little over 2 years of playing I have 216 of the cars (220 at the end of this update) and 48 cars Fully Upgraded including:
 * JAGUAR C-X75 R3 SPEC
 * AUDI R18 E-TRON QUATTRO (2015)
 * NISSAN GT-R LM NISMO (2015)
 * TOYOTA TS040 HYBRID (2014)
 * McLAREN MP4-X
 * FERRARI F14 T
 * FERRARI FXX K
 * ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE GTE (2017)
 * LAMBORGHINI ASTERION LPI 910-4

I have shown, with real data, a year's worth of every Gold transaction that was made, in my blog. That shows that I didn't use exploits, as you can also see screen shots I posted over time that correspond exactly to the Gold Balance from that record.

I treated myself to one 1,019 Gold for $20 this holiday update, and this is the only real money IAP I have ever made.

I have never been WTTT Group A, and it wasn't until maybe spring or summer of 2018 that I started getting into Group C, meaning I was not getting gold from there.

I was below 1,000 in early January and am sitting at 2,031, and that includes getting all of the new cars on LTS and Fully Upgrading, purchasing all gold upgrades on the Asterion during this sale. I have only run 10-Lap Le Mans with first race of the day Fame bonus for several months now.

So, while I made the mistake too of looking at the IAP cost of gold and translating it to cost of assets in the game, I discounted the Gold subsidizes that are available through daily check-in, rewards, and online participation. Sure it takes time, but I found that instead of using the time more productively, I just spent it on other games that I don't enjoy as much as this one.
