Your opinion DOES matter Ferdinand .
But if you look at the top of the ranking, their are people playing the game for a very long time, working hard to get there, and I know that most of them hardly spend any cash.
Greg is at the top for years, and he does not spend 1 $. So far, nobody was able to even come in his neighbourhood. He was at level 350 when I started (I remember well, I found it crasy at that time ), and still is 300 levels in front of me.
