Not so p2w, to be a hentai game still more fair than a lot of p2w from "big brands" (cough cough, EA, cough cough).

I wasted a lot of resources before knowing this forum. Despite that, i got a decent rank in elite guard event without cash (359). As lost guards are not taken in ranking, i used my turn to get stuff and help contacts.

Cash in PPS only influx in time and turns (cash cards are not so powerful), a healthy feature. You can get most resources from paying users with patience, this can be noticed on current PVP event.
