Pay to win big time, I WAS a spender(spent alot) and barely kept up. After 8 months of playing it got boring, so I stopped paying. Same old stuff to do. UPDATE:(coming back after 2 months from playing) the latest update introducing "pet system" might make it better. Still pay to win, FTP doesn't have a chance against those dropping hundreds if not thousands. More gems for the FTP players, better VIP for the payers.....is what's needed
