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? :-)

Did you play the game at all last year? These SE's and LTS are like pleasant Sunday Drives that the Roads through Hell of Last Year's events.

By the time Track To Tarmac starts, I will have more gold than I started The Elusive One with.

In the first Front-Runner, I spent 760gold including two skip to win the Hennessey Venom GT. The Aston Martin One-77 I spent 323 and didn't page to skip any events.

I spent 274 on the Jaguar C-X75 and didn't win it in The Gauntlet (Season 6).

Generations wasn't that expensive, but it was very hard in the later Stages.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento was 396.

The Porsche 911 RSR (2015) was only upgraded to 235, but I was fairly new and couldn't upgrade further. It was incredibly difficult to make it through the no touch, no off, no skid challenges of The Gauntlet (Season 3), and I think it came down to the last few hours when I got enough points to win the car.
