Now, this is something I can definitely get behind, Kenok. I have not begun use of my premium Founders time, yet, but I think it's something that should be toggled, time spent as we desire on things we think are important. I agree with you completely.

I can agree with this. I bought my last premium subscription just a few days before the nerf.
When I bought the premium time I did so with confidence that the reward structure wouldn't be changing this late in the game, not drop 30-50%. Totally feel I got ripped off.
At this point I only have less than a week of premium time left so pausing it doesn't do me alot of good but I think at the very least everyone who had an active premium subscription prior to the nerf should get at least 14 days of additional premium time added for free to compensate.

I realize this probably needs to be in an economy thread somewhere, but here goes, anyway...
PGI needs to back up a moment... put all awards back where they were before the nerf, cut them into a separate cell for each person who made purchases, in the database, then institute the new numbers in the original cells and ensure that the old numbers are added into the total. This is a bit more work, but it will be worth it to PGI and worth it to those of us who've actually put a lot of money and time into this game already.
ie - I've purchased 1,000,000 C-Bills for $10 before the nerf. A new column in the table is created and is the new A, where the money from the old A is type-written or hard-number-copied into, and then PGI can do whatever they want with column B for the updated numbers.
Now, most likely there are a dozen or so columns with individual numbers, already, but all of them were, apparently, affected by the nerf, and that needs to be changed.
Once they have this done, they can then explain to the community that, from this point-forward, whenever that's going to be, that while the in-game currency purchased up until a certain date will remain valid as-is, new numbers will be tested to bring game balance in as much as possible. In this particular instance, it's not a matter of appeasement of the pitchfork-wielding crowd so much as it is giving what they said they were going to give, not reneg'ing, and driving on with new numbers, after.

You have hit the nail on the head with one of the issues PGI is having and that is communication. If they would have been up front and told us, "Guys, we are seeing that progression is much too fact and that their is an over accumulation of wealth without enough money sinks. Therefore we are going to adjust the economy down until we find the approprate levels.", then at least the would have the moral high ground of telling us the truth.
I for one would still be posting how I thought they were wrong about what the approprate levels where but with a much higher level of respect and without using words like "Deceitful" and "lying" to describ PGIs handling of the economy.
