I could care less about being #1 in Kingdom Age.... It's iTunes APP!!! I play it to have FUN, and understand that Gree has changed the course from FUNzio and made it a cash-flow based game. OK, got it. I just do my best to enjoy what I can with my Guild and not even be bothered with the fools who "buy" the game. That said, I have a personal doubt that the members are spending the personal cash necessary to secure such lofty heights. Not calling out anyone in particular, but are they really hundreds of people willing to drop HUNDREDS of EUROS, YEN and DOLLARS on in-app purchases necessary to have the gems to do all this, or are there folks who scam their way to the thousands upon thousands of gems necessary to buy all these bonuses, etc? I don't know the answer, I'm quite sure there are folks who spend their hard-earned money on this game....I know I have in the past, but I am pretty judicious with how i spend now
