Subscribing was the first thing I did (and I will definitely keep that going), and I do spend Nex on Storylets regularly to graciously enjoy the extra content, and to show my overall appreciation as well.
Although I have found myself tempted at times, I have resisted the urge to spend Nex on Actions because I feel it is simply not enough bang for my buck.
This Poll is to compare notes with other players.

Thus far, I've mostly used my Fate for Exceptional Friendship and the Soul Trade. While the thought of buying actions has tempted me once or twice (generally when nearing the close of a storylet), I've balanced that desire with the notion that waiting makes the journey more enjoyable.
I will note, however, that I've also twice used Fate to buy my way out of 9+ Nightmares while farming the Forgotten Quarter for Eyeless Skulls. I enjoy the Mirror-Marshes from time to time, but knocking down 44 cp of Nightmares AND getting diamonds for my future Zubmarine is occasionally a deal I can't deny myself.
I'm also comforted by the fact that, regardless of how I spend my Fate, it helps support an excellent game.

I suppose that it is good to have the option, but considering the long-term play nature of FL I am content to be patient. Fate/Nex is something that I am willing to spend on story content and perhaps the occasional extra item here and there, but I wouldn't consider paying for something I could get for free with a little patience.

3. One Developer/FB employee voted in at $4.00 or more, thanks for visiting the thread I made that top slot especially for you.
I'm going to pretend that's actually funny. Ha.
Seriously though - the snark wasn't called for. FB are pretty transparent in their dealings with us, and have better things to do than skew a poll. If you consider their KickStarters, they have some backers willing to invest serious money in the games. Consider thusly: on a low income $4 may be a lot. On a high income, it might be stuff you consider so little to be irrelevant. I'm betting that's a real player, and you got some genuine feedback there. But by dismissing it, you're being rude to both the player and the devs. Don't.
Thanks.
As to the rest of your post - they have been known to play around with number of actions, etc - and the larger candle is a result of that. They may do so with nex, no idea - but doubt it's a priority while they're sorting SS.
