More and More paywalls?

This! I spent about £40 early on, because I was testing it out and it was anniversary, I expected to exceed the FTP lv65, my experience in spending is not very satisfactory. I wished I had just got shards because they soon released the mats I paid money for (because they were not available elsewhere), for crystals. So FTP started catching up quickly. I was so frustrated, as this was not clear before I spent money,  I have not spent a penny since on era and I am sat at 70 like some FTP. So it’s the lack of clarity, I dislike. I was willing to put some money in for the anniversary but not really satisfied with how the system turned out. I didn’t like hitting caps, I had to spend or wait for a new character to get past. I don’t think it’s fair for us to have a laid back “we will see how it turns out” attitude whilst people are actively spending. I was excited by the new event initially, I kind of expected them to keep the higher level mats in tier rewards and the hard caps slow FTP so they are at 65 as expected at the end but if you accelerate through paying you can get higher. I did not think I would have to pay at every tier an increasing amount to progress. Maybe it’s more efficient to get to level 70 then pay some, to continue levelling. But it was painfully slow progression already so that will probably cause me to get super bored. I think I will try next era FTP and see if I can keep up the same daily rank for currency.
