Anyway, back to the topic at hand, spend to win. I spend a lot not just to win, (of course winning is nice), but to enjoy the game better. The more characters I have, the more choices I have. Having high level hero is great, but in low level fights it is just too easy to win sometimes. So having a lower level version of the same character to use for lower level enemies is what I try for. And if that means I have to spend money to have fun, then oh well. I've been spending $100 a week on games for over 20 years, I ain't stopping now.TL, DR,.... I spend money for the entertaint value, ( which is different for everyone), I get from this game, not just to win, which is nice. But winning isn't everything.

Some may think that all the top alliances are p2w but I would say the greater part of S.H.I.E.L.D is not p2w. I am certainly not part of that group but I highly respect my allies and appreciate their hard work. I guess my spending has averaged $125 per week. The grand total is staggering.
