I spent a lot of money in the game. I had fun at one point.However, the amount of guilds with bots farming is just absurd they have auto detecting shields down. It is a major problem, ruins the game, and it's the reason I had IGG delete my account. Choosing the f2p way will also set you far far back from participating in kvk, baron, and other events. Your shield will go down bots will spot you and you'll be zeroed. Watch the videos on YouTube before investing in the game.
