Its difficult but changing your outlook on this game and its mechanics is not impossible.

I spend little on these events but the temptation is always there. I find my simmering anger at the process each episode puts me in actually helps me to not spend. Why do i continue to 'play' a game that i get so angry at? Because i like the artwork, because Transformers were my childhood.

Its not because i want to win. I realised early on that theres very little chance i'll get anywhere near T1 without spending stupid money and that frees me up to enjoy the cards i do get for the pittance i pay.

Its not all rage though... with the evolve cards i've found that its much, much funnier to collect malformed cards. This has taken the pressure off, i can tell you! The sight of a 2-stage Snarl with his head up his arse or Soundwave hanging in mid-air outside a cave with  legs akimbo and eyes-not-quite-out-of-chest-enough-to-see is truly awesome. Where else are you gonna find such a lovingly drawn and detailed image of that very scenario?! Hmm?!

Its gotten to the point that i'm reluctant to complete a card because i know i wont find such joy in the final form. I have no doubt that Mobage would be happy to know that i've found such titillation at a fraction of the price. Yay me!
