The imbalance for people who pay for better characters vs even casual spenders is too great. Unless you want to spend $1000 on this you wont be able to compete in tournaments against people who do. It is very noticeable that even the probabilities of this game is fixed to keep the spenders spending. Keep that in mind. $100 here or there wont help you. You literally have to spend $1000 at least to get any good 5 star characters. Lots of shady players online that will sell you illegally obtained iTunes cards for half price. Probably using stolen credit card information. Scopley doesnt care. They get paid regardless. Apple doesnt seem to care. There is a whole lot of people getting ripped off on this "play to win" game. You have been warned.
Update: It is worse now more than ever. Factions that spend thousand$ of dollars monopolize wars so that no one can win 5* characters. In single player level up tournaments that offer 5* characters as prizes only people who have won those 5* characters have a chance at winning. If spending lots of money is your idea of fun and skill then go ahead and try your hand at this. Lol! Or better yet go out and join a gym or participate in a sport. You will look and feel a lot healthier ;).
Update: Wow. Much worse now. You literally have to spend $1000 to get into top 100 rank now. Scopley has fixed the odds so that only players that spend a lot get better chances of getting good characters. I saved up a lot of elite character tokens and have never gotten a 5* and only a few old crappy 4*. Im going to quit this game soon. Its no fun if you cant compete. Dont break the bank for this game folks. At least play Pokemon Go, it makes you walk and get some exercise.
