No attempts to balance play for new players. You will get bullied and raided by players with much higher level than you CONSTANTLY. Because the game is persistent, and its playerbase seems to be mostly sweaty kids w/ daddys credit card, this will often happen while you are asleep or working. Otherwise, just a mindless resource grind sim. If you enjoy mindless clicking....guess this is a good game for you? Probably a better use of your time. Just another terrible pay to win.
