BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING...

Hi to any and everyone reading this.

I'm not going to write a l  o  n  g drawn out complaint, HOWEVER, please, please, please do yourself a favor, and READ before you make any purchases, specifically when purchasing Data Cards. F2P players won't sympathize with me, because honestly, paying for anything, whether it be Crystals, LS Bundles, etc. is one of the reasons why pure F2P is so difficult for everyone (and why people like me, will sacrifice paying for what we feel will help our gaming experience be more enjoyable, and a little less "grindy"). That said, twice already, I blindly purchased Data Cards, with the presumption that I would be receiving everything listed on the advertisement, only to find that I had spent $10 (or more) dollars on ONE STUPID ITEM, that essentially didn't help me at all progress in the game. 

I must also admit that after my "WTH" moment, when going back and READING the offer, it does state in the fine print that the offer was good for ONE of the items listed. The best offers have been LS Bundles, HyperDrive, and a few other consolidated packs that I haven't purchased - but again, read BEFORE you buy; no, READ BEFORE YOU BUY! Also, be mindful of purchases that have quantities that vary (i.e. 5-10) chances are, you WON'T get the maximum amount, not saying that it doesn't happen, because honestly, I don't know, and I am not going to falsely accuse CG of never awarding full amounts, however, I have yet even to get full credit amounts from buying credits with crystals (which I ALSO don't recommend).

I know, I know - million dollar question, "then, why keep buying stuff?" simple answer - because. Many of us who play the game, truly enjoy the game overall, but the grind is real, and not for the faint-hearted. Many have left the game, because the "reward fallacy" is just that a fallacy, and getting to the top takes YEARS. Hell, getting to the middle takes years (LBVS)! But besides the grind, bottlenecks, RNG, Sunken Cost Fallacy (look it up), and "the devil in the details," the game is fun - just remember, before you buy anything, read everything.

May the force be with you...
