I've spent about 700 dollars over the last 3 years. You run out of missions/new chars, and you're stuck with maybe 160 orbs a month. Summons are 250. Dupe protection is nothing (20 5 stars [at 1 to 6%] gets you a chance at another dupe). Every 5 months you get 1 pull from birthday medals. Klab should make the grindy 5 star tickets choice based. Chars drop and you can't get them because you've played the game too much? It feels punishing to vets, not rewarding to veterans. Shame, 'cause it's fun.
