One of those is probably a few pints down the pub (I'm not suggesting that I'd spend 60 quid down the pub), another may be a substantial part of a holiday or an expensive day out with friends.

I'm not saying that it's wrong to spend money a game - indeed without people like you who do spend money on it people like me wouldn't be able to play it for free. Well actually that's probably not quite true, but that's besides the point. All I'm saying is that you shouldn't expect to have too much of a hard time considering your ability to buy players when you need them, especially in the lower levels.
I took advantage of an offer as you already know. Two customized iPhone shells and two customized T-shirts gave me 142x2 tokens. The rest i bought. I have bought tokens for $40. The rest was included in those offers. And it's a matter of country and salary standards. $100 in Sweden is a decent dinner for 2 days. $100 on the pub is not much at all (besides - I do not drink since i have fun without alcohol. I don't really call $100 money. But once again - It depends in which country u are. I would never spend money on a game.. but 100 bucks isnt money for me... Hard to explain, and I really don't try to sound arrogant either so don't missunderstand me. But $100 here is what u earn by 2h work before taxes. Get my point? And as i said, 60 of those 100 was for iPhone.
