In order to get better items you HAVE to purchase diamonds. Even when you do spend money to get diamonds you have to spend hundreds of dollars and you still won't get any good items. The game wording is misleading! Monday's "gift" for only 9000 to 12000 diamonds spent. That's not a gift. The 2 day, 3 day and dragon city special says, purchase and activating collecting diamonds. You DO NOT get diamonds! Support is unresponsive. Game glitches are frustrating. A lot of dead servers! Very redunant!
