Actually, they could care less if we buy gold... Our time if far more valuable to them for Ad revenue... They can bill at a higher rate the more User Time they can demonstrate... They leave the cost of gold packs exorbitantly high so that we will watch lots of Ads instead.

Lets say there are 200,000 active users, and on average people buy $10 in gold coins (some will buy a lot, some will not buy any at all). That is only $2 million, which is not enough. They are generating their revenue from ads. Click to reduce 30%. Click and Get some Gold. Stay on the App so we can show high user time on the app. That is where they make their money. Sorry, sure a racer will watch the ADS he needs (to gain a few golds, to avoid reparation and upgrade time). A racer will never watch ADS for pleasure... so FM can be sure abut the number of ADS that people will watch anyway. And if they don't make money by the racers's purchases, why they don't stretch the times instead to increase costs disproportionately? And why they make more and more hard the Special Events stages so that average drivers (those who really spend money, not the experts) need to upgrade cars more than required PR? :-)
