Im f2p amd going for GL AT requirements, as Im sure many are. That IS the fun.
Same, granted I'm an 11m account but like how they are drip feeding her reqs slowly in such a way that its not so bad getting them together, particularly as the new characters need farming.
And if I wasn't capable of doing this then Id focus on cheaper GLs or teams, which is what I did for 4 years and now only recently have I felt I have the resource income to keep up with new teams.
Seems we get a lot of moans on here from players who clearly aren't at the level to attain end game characters and seem to expect to be able to get them easily, what they need to realise is that everyone started at a point where these things seemed hard but that eases as you grow your roster and attain more ways of gaining resources. TLDR: If its a struggle going after meta teams etc then OPs account is not at the level they should be chasing them.
