I was thinking about a few things just a bit ago. As I see it, I think those of us who were getting 5 ads a day might actually see an increase in gold earnings with this new update. Consider:

Previous earnings were 5GC in ads per day, if you watched exactly 5 every day. Personally, I know I would miss at least one day a month due to timing. This is because the ads came up exactly 24 hours after watching the previous ones.

New earnings are 2GC per day, but those are gauranteed as long as you open the game at least once during a calendar day. Meaning the new ads pop up at midnight local time whether you watched the previoius 2 at 12:01am the previous morning or 11:55pm. You will always get 2 ads per day.

So, in ad gold, it drops from a maximum of 150 (in a 30 day month) to a guaranteed 60.

However, where it changes greatly is in the daily rewards. It seems that players with Elite status get double rewards on the R$ and Gold rewards. This month, the standard reward is 110 gold. The Elite reward would then be 220. Now, if the Elite bonus does not work out to a double bonus on each gold day, that will change; so this might be subject to review in a few days.

So, doing the math on that, previously, with 5 ads and normal daily bonus, a player would get 260 gold per month. Now, with 2 ads and Elite status, the player gets 280 gold. 20 gold might not be extreme, but it is a change.

So, all that complaining that RomG did to the Monkeys must have paid off...everyone gets the same amount of gold per month. It just worked out that some folks got a 75% cut rather than some getting a 400% increase.
