or some will justify perpetual endurance like its not an exploit with - "they want you to play more" srsly? :D why? what are they gaining if we play 6 hrs straight or 12 minutes if we dont watch ads, or purchase or spend gold? im just draining my battery and leveling up thats all... they should ban me for that for sure, right? if im in the game it doesnt mean a rats behind to them if im driving, as long as im watching ads, or spending gc, traffic, new players etc... revenue ... You are missing the point of the Freemium model. The more time that you spend in the game, the more your brain becomes addicted to it. So playing 6 hours creates more of a physical dependence than playing for 12 minutes.

Then the more addicted you are, the more invested you are, and the more invested you are, the more likely you are to spend more. The more you spend, the more you need, which means the greater the lengths you will go to get what you need, and in this situation that means more ads or IAP.
 * D oh nooo... "the more likely" doesnt hold the water here :D im not missing the point, im completely aware of it ! thats exactly what im saying :D there is no "the more likely" that is a RULE, a standard law, or a measure of something, it is an ASSUMPTION... and there is a biiiig difference between this-equals-this and this-maybe(more likely)-that... please, do not get that twisted :) so, no freemium model REQUIRES you to spend, it just can make you pay, but nooowheeere does it say that is required to be paid...

further more, you said that we are the ones who play for the house. right? we are the product right? i agree 10000 percent! but... and a big but... you forgot to say that we are the ones who also TEST the house... ??? are we not? :) let that sink in

lets say, on some track, there is a shortcut... and you drive trough that shortcut and win... ok. what happened? - you shortened the track, right? ok, and lets say nobody gets hurt, developer is now aware of a "shortcut" and it fixes it in a patch... and then you find another glitch or a shortcut... that shortens the race even more... and so on, and now the track is so short that you can make a lap in a second... WE AS A PLAYERS did that for over 50 years now, playing different games, testing, gaining advantage somewhere, etc... are we guilty of that? are we the ones who are to blame that we exploit a left out bug?
