Level 2
If you haven't figured out that the game is being designed for pay to play by now, you won't understand. All the changes are targeted market research to see what features people will like enough to pay to access for. Some will get the features, some won't. They will experiment with various price points for the booster purchases, trying to find the sweet spot of affordability for as many people as possible.
If you don't get a feature, you aren't in the test group. But don't worry, the developers know that many people have invested too much time and money in the game to step away.
You should try retiring for a while from the game. Give it 6 months off. Delete it from you phone. You will actually find there are a ton of better things to do out there.
