The Architect - The Rational Behind It's Rarety.

As many of us always wonder why we even need a architect in the first place since the upgrade is just like any other upgrade, no other step but to press the upgrade arrow.
Now the reason why you cannot count on its presence is quite simple. Being unable to tell when he's going to show up and when he's going to leaves forces you to make two choices.
One choice is you upgrade whatever you see that isn't currently "running", all is good for a building that doesn't produce but any production building that are producing will mean you can't upgrade or......
And there is where it gets darker and darker. You are forced to spend gold. See by having the architect rare, unable to predict this means that when ever you spot the damn thing you decide that since you will never spot it again for another month or so, you stop production with gold of what ever you want to upgrade, start the upgrade, stop it with gold so you can move to another upgrade and repeat.
There's reason for the architect at all, none at all. It's just a regular upgrade, if you needed to do a few more steps to for the final upgrade there might be a reason but they are none, you just press the upgrade arrow when the architect is around that's it. There's no reason why we cannot know when the architect is around, again that would be simple like it would be there say every sunday. No all of this is just some twisted way of squeezing a lot of gold out of you, and it works because it is so rare and I am quite certain they obtain lots of $$$ that way, I've spent well over 20,000 gold just because of the architect myself.

The architect use to come around about every 10 - 15 days. Now he seems totally random as you said. As for spending Gold that is totally up to the player as you said. One can just wait and hope to be able to put him to work the next time he comes around.
The chances of ggs reducing what requires Gold is not likely to go away. This is how they make money, so other players can play for free. My self I rarely buy Gold and have been playing over 2 years now. It just take longer to get ahead.
The main problem here is not so much the rarety of the architect but the fact that we couple its totally random presence and instead of being random but staying at least one day, he appears and disappear without a word throughout the day it deems to appear. They've made it so that spending gold is pretty much an obligation when he appears since catching him is nearly impossible now.
so when I saw the event had returned, I got my telescope, thank you, so now I don't have to donate large sums of money for a deco again.
When I see Monica, I don't start a production facility because I know that tricky architect is soon to show up.
