After playing for a little over a month I realize this game is a total money grab, the in game currency is impossible to get in a timely manner especially with how many events you would want to participate in to keep up with players who pay for memberships who have it way easier. everything is unnecessarily expensive or hard to get, for instance the current event is the Bazaar that comes around maybe twice a year that people go crazy for, this event allows you to draw from a limited new set, these draws cost 3,900 in game currency for one draw of 15 items up to 4,900 per draw for just 3 SR items. it takes a couple WEEKS to save 4900 so obviously you’ll either need to miss out on the event or purchase the expensive currency they offer, this cost around $6! For as little as 1,070 of in game currency and an upwards of $75 for 14,000. On top of that you have to use that currency for every other aspect of the game such as collecting livlys, you can make a ton of potions but none of them will be useable unless you spend the 1000gp on ONE pod to keep another livly, conclusion, you would have to have no life at all, grinding this game constantly to get anywhere without spending real hard earned money, and by then it would just be boring and not worth it because if you don’t have items from new packs people are way less inclined to trade with you, and trading is the ONLY other thing to do on this game other than waist you money.
