As usual, this is my own opinion and clearly subject to personal views, neurotic tendencies, mental health and whatnot. Blah, blah, blah.
To be honest, this game gets boring after a while. I know it's an idle game and I know it's not very engaging (as one would expect given the genre), but the process isn't any sort of fun. It becomes more like a second job fairly quickly and eventually loses it's initial charm.
The drop rates for certain items are insanely-low too, which makes it beyond luck if you get anything worthwhile. Sure, there is a player-driven economy, where you can just buy the items you need. But that takes away any real effort. You can just farm for gold, which is easy to do. You don't have to do that, obviously. Unless you want to sit there for potentially months, waiting for a single item to drop due to awful 0.0000001% chance to occur, then it's your only option.
It's P2W, but not through spending real money. Which in itself is a novel concept and rather unheard of, but it does take away any sense of true accomplishment. I don't class sitting around waiting for that miniscule drop chance as a success, call me mad. That's just pure luck and luck is not a gaming skill or involves any effort whatsoever.
Needless to say, I got bored of waiting.
I did buy a Premium Token and I don't even care that I'm now uninstalling the game and won't likely return, having wasted whatever the equivalent cost in pounds was (the game is only in USD). That doesn't even bother me, as I'm quite glad to see the back of it. A huge shame that the token isn't for your account though. It's only valid on individual characters, which feels rather greedy. It doesn't even add that much, overall.
I tried, it failed, end of story. Night night.
