I can imagine those who have pockets deep enough to splash out of speeding air and deka repairs have fun getting lots of attacks in in a short time so more power to them I guess.
I agree.
BertO wrote:Is it worth spending money on the game? To me yes. Will I spend more money than the $30AUD I have spent in the last 18 months? No. Will I feel ripped off if they close the servers down or increase cooktmes or make some other change that adversely affects my game play? Kinda, but I know the risks involved in spending money on "freemium" games and will accept it for what it is if it happens.
I've played this game off and on, for more than two years now. Some of the updates have ruined the gameplay for me, so I stopped playing for a while. They were later fixed, and I came back. As a Free to Play player, I was disappointed, but not outraged. If I'd spent real money, I would have had stronger feelings about it.

The OP said he was level 8. In my experience, bases with 1 million currency available to loot are only on Level 10 bases and rare. In all my time playing the game, I've been hit for that much once, and I've taken an imp for that much once. For an 8, the OP is unlikely to be offered such a base to hit, and even if he was, he wouldn't have the units or capacity to get the rewards. Players with that many resources available are good enough to protect that level of rewards.

I don't spend money on it but wouldn't mind if there were a way to donate. Really don't care for rushing upgrades and all that but do think they deserve their thanks at least.
syncpan77, my friend, you make a very different point, and one I have a great deal of sympathy with. I get a lot of enjoyment from this game, and from the squad I am in. I would gladly have paid for this game after a free trial period. The developers deserve more than my thanks. But at this time, I don't want to condone or encourage In App Purchases.
