I think the two best things about this game is to enjoy playing and to understand how it works.
This is a simple game, which must run in some thousands devices (pc,tablet,smartphones) at the same time, from different servers and connections.
So, of course it's not flawless. But it's important to recognize the weak points of it and just live with it.
I think it's impossible for the company to watch and react in a different way to players who buy/spending (or not) tokens/sources.
The roll dice has a big part in the game. People who buy token, complaining for their results, people who don't buy token, the same.
My experience, playing with my main team in different periods (buying, farming, not spending), as with my other teams, with different accounts
is that anything can happen to any team.
I 'm just trying to find the "stream" and swim with the flow. Sometimes, I get tired or pissed-off and I take a break (tanking/staying or taking a club from the beginning - from my other accounts).
After all, it's only a game (and at the moment, it's the one which have the most complete pack).
