The way I see it, since FM is plugging holes to stop extraneous ways of collecting gold outside their planned method of just paying or playing. That means they knew what and how and who was obtaining balance sheets outside the norm, but not banning (probably because that would hit the base too hard). This seems an attempt to get back what belonged to them in the first place.

Unfortunately the model of making freemium insane to complete is all too common. Doubt at this point that would change. It is a cool game though. Most of us are still here.
