There are always exceptions to any point of view and I do not challenge your right to hold a different view.
However there are many many players who dislike MORALE intensely as it favours the inactive player over the active
irrespective of whether they use gold or not.
I personally know many non gold users who do not like Morale either -- however the premise that the majority of premium players do not like Morale is well known - and I suppose it is to INNOGAMES credit that they persist with a format that has a proven negative impact works on revenue generation.
