You can successfully play this game and have fun without spending money. I have done, and I am certain others on this forum have. I also have fun with the game with spending for tokens, so I do think either way is fun. So, truly to each their own on that...

I guess I have more patience, which surprises the heck out of me, I am not known for that. I have played console games that were buggy, and *never* got updated. So I look at this as they are working on it, and I like the game as it is anyway. I have only had a couple friendlies foisted on me, and they regretted it more than I.

The three hour between was to include friendlies I believe and that as I mentioned was a issue for people who wanted to schedule friendlies at their convenience and couldn't if it was too near a regular match.
