Since this past March, I've tracked how many credits I've spent on equipment. It's over 60,000 credits. This past year, I didn't have to purchase a single credit. And, as an aside, I was able to watch the those videos while completing other tasks and complete the surveys while I was watching TV or simply take a break from my work.
Ya, sorry... but the rest of the world has a very different experience in trying to earn credits. For example, in the last month I've had probably in the area of 30 surverys all end in 5cr dq's and 10 error out.
Video's are non existent, in Canada, I simply don't get them. VPNing to a US IP sometimes will render some videos, but nowhere near enough to earn at a usable pace.
Fact is, this game heavily favors US players in the area of 'earned' credit options, just the way it is, not surprising, I would expect it to.
If you're in some way doubting or questioning the whole 'aggresive' revenue generating model, well... that's just silly.
As for playing the game as it is? Well that's all you can do, ya you have to play the game as it's made. Driving for those 'kick' landing areas where you get an extra 50yds, the crazy fescue launch, that's great. It would just be nice to have a flop shot play like a flop shot.
I personally would like this game far more if they got rid of the idiotic specs on balls... It's the most unrealistic aspect of the game.
