Don't the little people get enough grief?
As a veteran FS player, I'd like to say that this is a truly addictive game, simply because of all the friends I have made here....

I think you misinterpreted my response. I am not saying all the donators are at EOC. I am saying a big portion of them are. I am just following a simple rule of thumb: the 80/20 rule. At the end of the day, they are running a business so they will do what generates the most revenue. They are prioritizing content because that is where most of the money will come from.
PS: You can learn more about the 80/20 principle here or here (more tailored towards business justification)
And another big portion are not. I'm saying you are making assumptions that are not in evidence. I am a retired MBA, I understand how businesses work..... that's NOT my point. My point is that a majority of us are NOT at or near EoC and with that constantly rising, we will never ever see it.
My comment was in fact, directed at the ever present cow gods, to keep this fact in mind, that a big chunk of those of us that are contributing cash to the game are in fact mid-level or below.
I understand that things must be equitable for the ENTIRE community.... not just the upper echelon, who always get something new before a big event since the olden days. I don't want to discount their efforts in any way, but I also believe that I and my contemporaries deserve some consideration when such decisions are made as well.....

Well you also have to keep in mind that 80% of the revenue comes from 20% of players. Majority of those players are at or close to EOC. Not saying this is why but just pointing out that it could be ONE of the reasons why.
I donate, and I'm nowhere near EoC, and never ever will be. And by the same token, I know of several at EoC that have NEVER donated. IDK where you get your figures, but the majority of donators are more than just EoC, and tbh, it really doesn't matter which percent of what population donates what. We're ALL players and each and every one of us is as important as any other, regardless of level or the amount of monies invested. If the 80% you illustrate move on to a game where their needs are as important as a select few, who will be left to play the game? hmm?

So, just my 2 pennies here, but why should EoC's content (or lack thereof) be the deciding factor about whether the rest of us have the enjoyment of a 2x XP event? As a veteran of this game (tomorrow is my 10th anniversary after all) I object strongly to that. Players levels 1-3000 deserve to have an event just as well as one at EoC so that we can get close to the top of that hill..... We already can't have Storybook or Quango quests because there's no new content there for EoC, regardless of the fact that many of us "small fry" have never even gotten to begin them.... Stop running the game to cater to a small few.... there are way more than the 200 at EoC that play this game, as BG constantly tells us here in this forum....and I'm sure many donate just as regularly as those at EoC. We have an interest in the game as well....
