(Of course, his version was a little more lewd, but I cleaned it up for the kids) That's all I see here. Folks who'd complain about just about anything that happens. I had to earn the 675 through the series, and I got 75% off a small handful of upgrades. I also got the 570 for free. Sure, I could have gotten that car for free anyway or, at most, a handful of R$. But here's what they really gave me: 6 hours of time. 6 hours of time that I can use to actually enjoy the game rather than having to struggle, stress, and strain for all that time beating stupid gauntlet challenges, watching a hundred adverts, and whatever else. I can take that time to actually play a part of the game that is fun, or I can actually just skip on playing for that amount of time. So, for me, that's a real gift/reward. Congratulations on your gift/reward. Now what about those of us who are in the exact same boat as you, but didn't get the 570GT? It's easy to critisize when you are on the other side of a benefit.

I don't "complain about just about anything that happens". If that's all you see here (as you say), perhaps you should look closer or consider longer. Did you consider why you got some 675 LT upgrades at 75% off?? How about why you got a free 570 GT?? It's for one reason alone... people complained. You are critizing the very thing that benefitted you. How about when the cost for the Mechanic, Agent & Engineer in Legend went up to 6 gold each per use?? Complaint ended that debacle too!

Realize that if everyone remains silent, then nothing happens and nothing changes. In fact, in some scenarios silence is the worst response. Taken to a more extreme degree consider this famous JFK quote

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

I am not saying FM is evil (even though it feels that way at times). I am saying that if people do not express and discuss their displeasure, then things will get worse. I love this game and I fight for what I care about.
