You spend money on this game to advance (the game is structured in such a way that you have to spend money to make significant gains), only to loose your gains and money spent when stronger players (those who out spend you) attack you; leaving you with the urge to spend more money to try and regain your losses (and they offer packages that you can buy) to rebuild faster. Also alliances who dominates makes the own rules, which they themselves do not adhere to. A toxic environment indeed
