I do not have the $200/week to stay competetive. Every event I try, and every event I fail. I am tired of it. If I spent $200/week on this game, not only would My girlfriend kill Me, we also would not eat. I can think of a thousand better things to spend $200 on that would not leave Me feeling like I just got kicked in the gut and robbed.

So I quit. And when Mobage has drained all the paying players, then shuts down the servers.... you have nothing to show for it. I understand bro, I've spent many years unable to afford the frivolous spending for things that aren't a roof over head, bills paid and food on the table. I've been back and forth between independent living and being back at my parent's. I totally feel that. And I learnt to live without these things. Later, my circumstance changed and so did my values around time spent working and time/money spent when not working.

That's a choice. As adults we all have the individual choice to decide whether we think we are getting value or not as everyone's circumstances are different. As adults we also don't need to be told to boycott certain aspects of the game or the game in its entirety because they are/it is troubling for some.

This concept of having 'something to show for' at the end of it all is rather inane. Most entertainment leaves you with nothing more than an intangible memory of an experience. And all this is is paid entertainment. I can't make a judgement on whether it is a good game or a bad game, but it is the right game for the people who enjoy it and the wrong game for the people who can't. No-one is being duped into buying digital cards that don't really exist. If anyone only wanted to see the art they could simply come to this wiki and look at the uploads without paying a cent.
