im not entirely sure if u dont know what u pay for .. u pay for a better odds in a symulation cause better players means higher values to add to equasion - it has to work on equasions but ppl missunderstand that buying 11 scout players will make the values high but this alone wont win u the game, it will help ur odds but wont make the win a sure thing
and about the mechanics - i think the game is so simple - its a browser game O_o - that when they will show us the equasions ppl will find it easy to just search and find the best pattern and use it - than everyone will use it and i dont think that it would be that important to buy so much tokens than cause ppl will stop experimenting
