AFK type games are a sinkhole for players to throw money in hopes of progressing at a constant rate. The games themselves are designed to go exactly against that so that money is consistently flowing for them.
If you are like me and really enjoy this game because it is actually fun and the characters are to your liking, then you don’t mind occasionally putting some money into the games you enjoy.
This guide is solely for the purpose to tell you, the consumer, what packages and or “deals” are actually worth your money for what you are getting back. If you like the game even more than just a little and don’t mind the occasional splurge, then obviously you can buy more.
If you aren’t sure whether it’s worth spending money, then this guide probably won’t be for you. However, this guide can help you decide if you want to take the next step into getting packages that will be a benefit to you if you are a light spender.
We’ll talk only about packs worth for light spenders since that is where we are sitting in terms of spending ourselves.
