I have played this game for 2 years. In hunting season, which is the season for beginners, there is no need to pay but u can keep pushing, but to get 1st place u need to pay. After hunting, it becomes MORE AND MORE P2W. Yes. And as there is more development of the game, there is more Gacha and p2w and less strategy. And if you're dreaming to even be top 3000, pay A LOT or dedicate 2 years PLAYING. Not much new content, always repetitive. Username: WeirdHuman I will always be happy to help newbs
