I've made it to Tier 4 on Galvatron (0$), skipped Bteam, tier 3 on Nemisis ($26), and I'm currently safely in Tier 2 in Road 2 Ruin ($9.50). I hope to go for Tier 1 someday. I figured you get to work ??% less hard if you spend a few bucks. So I justified the investment. I have TFL open on my ipad all day while i'm at work though, then on my phone when i'm not at my desk. I've even played while driving...probably not a good idea., while watching a movie... You don't need to spend any money at all to get Tier 2. You just need time and patience. The money is what makes it happen over night. If you have it then why not, if not then you need to work a little smarter. I have an alarm to wake me up every 3 hours at night so that my cubes don't go to waste, meaning I use it so that I can get more cubes every hour. I have real allies too. I have my wife and daughter play for me when I'm busy or dead asleep or driving. I even carry a charger with me when I go to the bathroom, you never know. In the end, you can do well without paying, it just takes time and a little creativity. Blueboltskys is right in that it's hard work so it's whatever works best for you.
