If 1000 gold would be available for $5 that wouldn't be the case. You've also got to remember that gold prices haven't changed (as far as I know) since the game first came out. At that time, there were as many options to watch ads, the ratio of R$ cars and upgrades to GC cars and upgrades was more balanced. Buying 1000 GC once or twice back then could get you a lot further along than it does now. The game is currently so heavily GC lopsided, it's almost useless to even buy gold at all. Unless you can buy 25,000 gold, it's just not going to help progress in the game any substantial amount.

As big as this game is now, gold really does need to be much much cheaper. We come to the game to have fun, not to go broke, or waste our lives running 10 lappers for 100+ hours to buy and upgrade an average car.
