On top of the gold problem, gearing up 1 character until G16 takes you over a year. With so many toons coming out every month it takes then more than that! I wish it would be so easier to upgrade a toon but no, it is very expensive! This game is becoming ridiculously expensive! Not forgetting the bugs every after a new update. If gearing up a character would be cheaper and easier, this would make the game one of the best mobile games ever.
