i think it depends on the server and level. it's my bad luck i'm in a very active server and my level is next to highest in my server. i sometimes spend 30+ tokens just to get the player. normal is 10+ tokens especially in the first week of the season. now i don't have tokens anymore. not planning to buy again.

i'm thinking of not getting promoted for at least 3 seasons. just to see if the auction is not as competitive. my cup results will definitely suffer because of this. but if i can get players for 1-3 tokens, i don't mind one bit.
