This is so true. Truth hurts some folks. Spend real money, thats cool, but don't pretend like you have skills or strategy. It's like people in marathons that they have been catching taking taxis or other means of transportation. Yes you did finish, but you accomplished nothing.

Need better atk/def... buy gold and buy the premier items to better your stats
Need better IPH... buy gold to get the best buildings and upgrade faster
Need more IP... buy gold and continue to pound the targets you can beat
Want to be Top 25-50... join a syndicate and show them you are willing to spend gold
Need more anything... buy gold

If Fight Club actually did something other than recruit members willing to spend a ton of real money to buy gold I would actually applaud their efforts. If they had a magic formula that allowed them to milk every IP out of each target that didn't involve simply buying gold at a ridiculous rate I would think they were doing something nobody else had thought of.

I'd love to see a breakdown of how much each Syndicate spent on gold related to what position they placed in the event. I'd imagine it would be very similar.

At the end of the day their is no strategy that doesn't involve gold. You cannot obtain the best items and high stats without buying and spending gold. Fight Club would never let a member in if they didn't buy gold. Any mention of "strategy" is comical. Any mention of "a challenge" is laughable. Facing a challenge... buy gold and it solves the problem.
