Interesting perspective! I actually read his comment as one of exasperation -- as in, "the rich keep getting richer!"

Anyway, I think that Gameloft is being stingy when it comes to the top prize in TLEs because they aren't taking into account the growth in the userbase. Maybe 25 was a reasonable number when 10k users would normally participate in TLEs. However, when participation grows 10-fold, then so should the number of top prize awardees. In other words, it shouldn't be a fixed number of winners; but rather, a percentage of total participants. I'd be a bit concerned if I were Gameloft and consistently saw the same players in the Top 100 of each TLE because it might indicate that the system is encouraging casual play over regular play for a segment of the userbase.

Also, with the situation the way it is, I think it also a bit douchey when a "pro" player feels compelled to aim for "Top 25" in an Assembly Cup TLE when they already have the car in their garage. If it's just about satisfying their ego, then Gameloft should have a button that allows such players to give their winnings to the next in line. If we already have to go through the trouble of claiming prizes after a TLE, then I don't see why it can't have some additional options to it.
