Yup, I am on the same boat. Since March 2014 and getting Plat, I have only flown between KWI and DXB on EK, an odd MLE, and one more flight at the end of this month to MAN (Total tier miles to date around 16K).
Not only have prices been at eye-watering levels for J and F, but miles are becoming worthless (even though I earn some through a CC). I have since moved most of my travel to QR who have more decent ticket prices, and bank my miles with BA.
Its been a great run with EK, and I do miss their A/C, service and experience, but unless they become a bit more "reasonable" with prices and mileage, it seems like not much is going to happen.
