Is the game becoming overpriced? Debate.

Thought I would start off a thread on this, as alot of players are getting criticism for posting about it in the discussion for new updates section. I understand why CM Ethan is trying to keep the topics there focused on the specifications of the new updates, thanks Ethan you do a good job, but this discussion needs to happen.
It can be argued that the price of being one of the strongest players is increasing, with some players spending thousands on the game. Over recent months more and more content has been introduced into the game, the new kingdoms, capitals and equipment are just some updates which have introduced more premium content and ways to spend premium content. As DillonCail, perhaps one of the most iconic players from the International 1 server puts it; 'it makes it so their is "no end" so to speak'. In other words the amount of real money you can spend on this game is never ending if you want to be one of the strongest.
Many unpopular updates have been introduced recently, including changes to gold loot and the most recent level 5 towers and walls update. Some players have argued these are leading to the game becoming higher priced, and a suggestion that this price has perhaps reached unsustainable levels, drawing upon economic factors and principles. There is evidence that the game is becoming less fun for the majority of players with many leaving the game, many key players from various servers and more importantly big customers to GoodGame. There have also been criticisms of customer service and the game development team which seems to be a common theme emerging from the forum in recent weeks and months.
Looking at the competition in the MMO market, most other options such a World Of Warcraft require just a few pounds a month to access the whole game, and all of the game content.
Of course I know we don't have to buy all of the premium content, its not anything we have to do, but I think for alot of us ruby players its frustrating to see that we have to spend more and more of our real money to play the game how we used to 6 months, 12 months or 18 months ago.
So it all begs the question, is this game becoming too expensive to play?
I quit the game.

Rubies are part of a game. You cannot change the rules of rubies.
Else if you just gonna whine and complain about rubies quit the game now, no need to encourage people to quit too.
Im saying this to everyone, even those who dont buy rubies.
Also yes the game is getting overpriced for those who wish to buy rubies, they will need a bigger urge to buy more. But fortunately, i tolerate that, and i am not a ruby buyer. Don't forget you can actually earn some rubies, you can even earn at least 200 a day
My name is Badgame because i thought this game gonna be bad, because its a "goodgame" empire
just good busyness that 1000 pay 10 instead of as it is now, 100 pay 100.
It is always better that 1000 pay 10 and enjoy the game and recommend it to friends instead of what it is now, 100 paying 100 and hate it and leave the game, taking others with them.
1000 that pay 10 and enjoy the game, and recommend will make 10.000 that pay 10.
whereas GG now is trying to make the 100 pay 200 for the same product.
not smart, not good, not productive, not acceptable at all.
Whoever is working in the economics department of GG have never been to school, or so we are let to believe.

it is better to have 1000 gamers, that pay 10 "insert currency here" that like the game and recommend it to other people, making the number of gamers grow to 10.000 gamers of which most pay 10 "currency" happily.
instead of 100 gamers paying 100 "currency" and hate the game, not recommending it to anyone, leaving it in anger and taking other people with them.
get me now? if you have 1000 happy costumers that pay 10 dollars, and recommend it to friends and family, of which some of them also will pay 10 dollars, you could have 10.000 people in no time, all happy and paying the smaller amount of money, instead of 100 paying 100 dollars, and are angry and frustrated with the game and changes.
for 10 dollars people could live with smaller bugs, for 100, people expect it to work perfectly with no glitches.
and expect to be heard (and deserve so even more)
sorry for my bad English

sadly yes, and that is the point
what I wrote above was an example on what to do.
if they lowered their prices to a more reasonable level, where more people would join pay and play, the game would be more fun, more people to challenge on the same terms and conditions, instead of a few pounding the fun out the those that can not afford to play.
we pay a lot more than 100 dollars too to get all we can of advantages, but what if we paid less, but had more to play against on the same terms? if more people became ruby players, the challenge would be greater and more fun, and if the prices are lowered, more people WOULD become ruby gamers, thus GG would have the same, or better income, and we wouldn´t have to sell house, car grandmother and organs to play
