The game is completely pay to win. You can play without paying but you will not get far and you will lose all the time. You will never catch up. It's impossible. You either play to play with friends and to ay a war game or you stay away from it. You don't play this game to win. You just play to play it.. once again . You can not win. Re-edit..just an add on...the game is even worst now. F2p has no room in this game anymore..at all. 5 years and I'm going to trash my account. Igg get no more money
