Well, there are a ton of premium items, and you would need to max out the rail yard for 50 weeks to just buy Barney's Bowlarama. It's kind of a mirage.

Exactly. Right on the money. It's a mirage.

EA are introducing too many premium items. Not only that, they're overpricing a great majority of said items.

In my opinion, the monorail should have been introduced in the same manner as Springfield Heights; Permanent and non-premuim. It is a mirage for freemium players and those unlucky enough to miss the event.

It's all for the money though. This is EA's way of forcing people into buying donuts with actual money. It is their way of turning a profit. Making money from a free game by introducing a premium currency isn't a bad thing. Unfortunately there's just soooo many items that cost donuts that for many players, getting everything in the game is impossible unless we fork out the cash. Which I, for one, am not prepared to do.
