What to Spend $$$ On?
What is the best thing to buy for this game?

Personally, I like to buy the $9.99 packs for new marquee characters to get the guaranteed 30 shards. I don't buy them all, but once a month I'll grab a toon that seems to be useful in TW or raids. I'll wait a couple weeks until after its released to see which character gets the best reviews. This game may be FTP, but it's not free to make, so I don't mind throwing some $s at a game that I play every day.
When I do spend money on anything else, it's to buy crystals specifically for gear. If you're going to spend money on crystals my recommendation is: Only buy the $100 pack if you can afford it. Best crystals per dollar value. If you can wait until they run a 50% bonus sale, even better. Use the crystals and gear on a very specific character or group of characters that will help you in arena(s). Finish higher in arenas, get more crystals, need to spend money for faster progression lessens.
