I now "level up" 3 times a day, and it means nothing.

time and time again this game teaches you that it's not a good idea to be Premium...it's just not worth it
You buy something, then half a year later it's on sale for much cheaper
You buy a 'limited time' item, and then it comes back repeatedly

Limited time means that the item is not available permanently. They can come back for another limited time.

So what if things become cheaper. You begrudge others for getting it cheaper? You pay what you pay to get a thing when you want. You can always wait but YOU choose not to. ( I remember buying Otto and seeing it sold in a bundle 2 weeks later for half what i paid. I was pissed for about two minutes and then got over the "bad timing".)

It's all swings and roundabouts. I'm a long time player so got many things for free that newer players have to pay donuts for (Barney's Bowlerama, Mapple Store, Super Collider etc. ) Rather than begrudge others who now can get what I have (how dare they!) I'm happy that I did not have to pay for them.

The game is not a competition and not about having things that others don't. If you think it is then you show the same self centred attitude that the OP does
