So far after a year and a half of playing, this game becomes beyond discouraging due to the new items needed are bundled in 99.99 packages. I have spended over hundreds and will never beat players that wasted more or have played longer, to bad because I love games like this, tons of events, tons of items... it is more difficult for new players to want to continue, since players are now high in rankings. The only way to compete i to spend money and alot of it.
