But what they really want are people buying IAPs... But what they are really doing is backing people off from buying IAP for years.

Only IAP that makes sense, and is valuable is VIP. They make 10x as much from IAP as they do from ads... maybe more... People on this forum, except for Powerup and Drestin, are in the minority. That doesnt mean they are maximising profit. They are leaving so much on the table. Prices make no sense at all. There should be decent value for items/packs under $20, which is about the most a regular player would want to spend. Maybe even less. The way it is today, $20 gets you 183 GC, it would not even get you one upgrade for most cars !!! So, why bother paying ?

I am guessing only new players fall into trap without noticing whats coming in later stages... They have all of the game data and business analysts looking at it.

They have regularly run different test markets to see the effects of different strategies on revenue.

This isn't some kids coding an app in Swift and throwing it up on the app store. This is a professional development house with a large, publicly traded multinational corporation behind it. That doesn't mean they can't and don't make mistakes, but to think that you or Drestin, or pretty much anyone here, even the game changers know more than they do is foolish. We are the customers, telling them how we would give them our money. And, everyone here, including you, saying the same thing. Its up to them if they listen or not. ;)
