The game is nice. And it is geared up to be tactically challenging. However... You can't gain power very quickly without spending a lot of money. One guy said he'd spent almost 8k in an older state just to compete. All are weak to start but there's always some rich kid who ruins it for the rest. No point signing up to events because you know there is no chance of winning. So it becomes less about skill and more about who has the depper pockets. This is a business model, not a game!
