A lot of complaints have been posted in the forums in the last few weeks. However, I did not see any complaint about using finance charges to implement the cash reductions. In most cases players resented a limit on accumulated wealth.
It is probable that most people playing this game think real world millionaires are wealthy. Certainly billionaires. However, the resentment against a cap of 20T is normal and understandable. Sociologists have interviewed real Americans about how much they need in order to be well off. In most cases people want to make twice what they earn now. A man earning minimum wage living in a trailer park wants a union job that allows him to buy his own house. Bankers in Manhattan making $250,000 want to make 500k so they have enough capital to do serious investing. Our understanding of what it means to be well off is determined by our peers.
