Honestly the pay to win for this game is excessive. It's so bad that f2p players can't even compete. And you can't just spend a little here and there. Anytime you buy a pack the price of all packs increase to match. So buy a four dollar pack, all packs are now 9.99. buy that, then $20. Then 99. That and the game very much forces the pvp aspect with very slow tile gathering times. But then makes it hard to actually get resources from other players due to shadow matter walls you have to clear.
