With recent updates, its clear the developer is making this game pay to win in a ridiculous manner. In the past, the balance between remaining f2p or dropping money on some boosters or cosmetics was well balanced; you could if you wanted too, but it wouldn't give you a massively unfair advantage. Unfortunately this is no longer the case, with the developers adding more mechanics which force players to shell out money if they want to remain competitive. Shame really, this used to be a fun game.
