If they didn't intend for me to get my drive back with cloud restore, they shouldn't have programmed it that way. This isn't like the LeMans enduro bug where you could run 100 miles in under a minute. This is greedy executives redefining what their game was originally programmed to do. It's interesting to see how people rationalize their own behaviour. :-)

I agree that people like me should complain to FM for making this cheat so easy that a lot of people started doing it. But the terms of contract are clear and say a completely different thing from what you just wrote:

" When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not: I don't mind much people upgrading and then reverting just to look at the whole upgrade tree, because that is just a way to obtain some info that it would become of public domain sooner or later, and also because who does that usually post the results on the wiki so the game is fair for everyone.
 * [...]
 * Use exploits, cheats, undocumented features, design errors or problems in an EA Service."

But refilling the drives is not fair: it is much easier to get into group A if I have unlimited drives. Reading this thread, I understood finally why is is so difficult for me to replicate times posted by others. It's not a problem on my device, or a lack of skills, or whatever. It's most likely that I didn't wanted to use an obvious cheat.
