Spenders won't always be spenders, take it from someone who has spent a lot of money in this game but will never again so long as things like this continue. You're correct when you say in order to get people to stop paying money into the game you make it all about the money and not about the game. When I first started playing the game I had no regrets spending money to collect more characters. But over the months it's become blatantly obvious that the game is only about money, to create frustration to try to get people to spend, to prey on compulsive and addictive behavioral patterns. So long as this is the case, I will continue to play without spending.
