Im a f2p player and i feel that yes there are alot of players who spend thousands on the game but for us who do not...there is still a chance of getting into the right alliance with other players some whales...some not...but we all have loads of fun playing and are as close as a small family...keep it up. Edit: Fix your godamn game...after the latest update it is totally unable to be played for long periods of time before it shows a network error...changing the signal to wifi also doesnt help
