Humm... Max everyone is entitled having his own opinion and others to disagree. Iam on android so I dont buy gold that easy as I-machines. I paypalled someone 20 usd for getting him gold because he used gold to shoot more bosses I did profit because he using gold. Everyone should make their own deccission, gold or no gold. What I dislike is that Gree changes things so you have to use more and more gold and free players, as you call them lol, are getting more and more problems keeping up gold factions. Gree should devide this game in a gold using part and a non gold using part. I like it to use my brains, knowledge, tactics to improve and getting stronger. Thats the fun part of the game.
