You know things are 「fluffernutter」ed when I'm actually happy I started a 3d14h upgrade this morning (meaning I will miss the 2x upgrade speed from the free 3-day Premium Pixo is giving everyone). I was initially kinda annoyed but upon further reflection, I'm glad as that means I will be generating Ag 50% faster but not spending it faster.
This leads me to my actual point: Premium is stupid. It might be good for a new player to (try to) catch up when they're just starting but for a seasoned player, what's the attraction? We're already maxed in terms of player XP, the Ops are generally completeable in time even if you just play enough to complete all your daily event tasks. And sure, you do generate 50% more Ag BUT YOU ALSO SPEND IT 100% faster!
So what's the point? You're paying to get poor faster!
IMO, Pixo should increase the amount of Ag you generate to AT LEAST match the rate at which you spend it. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

I don't know if I'd call it stupid. I don't keep it on a sustained basis but I've definitely benefited from having it when I've gone on some upgrade sprints. Having 36 hours of free premium going into a weekend is kind of a nice treat; I can also launch a one-day health booster and just punch out a few quick sessions of silver accumulation to help me finish maxing out my Stings this weekend.

I'll be ready to roll out my Hawk tomorrow without a lot of excessive game play. (I saved a bit on Au speed ups too/less time=less Au) I'm happy. I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl  |

The Income/Upgrade Speed was more balanced under the original Battle Income system, with the "Repair Cost" deduction...a 50% Pre-Repair bonus equated to nearly a 100% Post-Repair increase. Still though...Premium is most worth it if you play a LOT. |

It’s nice to have during discount weekends. Even if you want to use au speed upgrades, it’s a discount. And the ads speed ups are worth more.

I stopped purchasing premium, just not worth the extra circus peanuts you get with it. The extra 50% OXP though is nice if you buy operations (which I haven't for quite some time) cause I never finish them even when I was premium so that extra adds up.

Free is free, we like free. Even though it doesn’t come close to replacing what they’ve taken away.
Ag sure piles up fast though. I had forgotten what 1M+ Ag games felt like.

I would not call it stupid. Both 50% more Ag -this alone is 5-10 m more Ag a day for me, and the half-time upgrades seem useful . That being said, I have never purchased one, and am never going to do so. I will enjoy the free 3-day premium though.
