If you have ever heard the phrase, "pay to win", well that phrase goes along with this game. My first reason is with legendaries. People say these low levels are complaining about no legendaries, but right now Im in hog mountain. I didnt get my first legendary until level 9, otherwise saying it took me 5 MONTHS to get a legendary. Supersellout says that you should get a legendary about every month. No, for me its 1 every three months, and Ive gotten the 3 worst legendaries in the game. Another matter is the matchmaking system. I am free to play and I am going up against people who have cards that are 2 levels higher than me, and going against people who have been dropping down to bully the lower levels for easy crown chests, so if you are new you cant get past arena 3 due to the fact you will only face lvl 8s and higher who have been in royal arena. ANOTHER matter are the chests. These chests take 3-24 hours to open, and some dont even give you rares! The only way to get good cards that you use is pay to get gold to by cards from the shop, or open the, "good chests", with the 2 first costing 5-10$ each and the best costing about 30$! The last thing are gems. The gems are hard to get. You can get gems about 50% of the time from free chests, giving you 2-3, but it takes 4 hours to get these free chests, gems and the crown chest ensures 2-3 gems, but you haft to wait 24 hours to get and get 10 crowns, which is at the minimum winning 4 battles! Great? No. the cheapest chest you can buy is the giant chest, and that costs 400-500 gems! The best is 3,400-4,400 gems! So in all, if you are not willing to pay atleast 20$/week, I would not reccomend this game.
