The stupid grinding

There's nothing wrong with being free to play as long as you accept the limitations that not spending are going to put on you.

In my opinion this year has been the best year for free to play players ever. From "Grant Camping" to now We've had an abundance of great posters and resources there for the taking as long as you put in the time and work.

Does spending give you an advantage? Of course it does, it would be counter productive if it didn't. However the free posters each month have been extremely serviceable for a long time now and the fact that they continue to give away older cards all the time means anyone can put together a playable roster with the right amount of effort and foresight into who is best for you in what situation. Like don't take your favorite to 6* just because they're your favorite make sure they'll help you get the most in return on your investment in them.

What I do encouraging all players to spend on are the passes. The Shane contract, the king of kings pass and the strap up pass. That's about 30 bucks a month that will give you access to both pulls and resources guaranteed.

Hope this helps you look at the game for what it is and what you can make of it.
