Bragging isn't okay, and shaming people because "they spent thousands on a game" isn't okay either. It's surprising to those of us with average wages, but there are out there a lot of players that earn a lot of money (or whose parents earn a lot) and they use it on the game cause it's their hobby and it enhances their experience. I doubt any of the whales are starving themselves in order to buy ingots, if they buy is because they can afford it. If I earned a lot, I'd also spend more on the game idk. I don't see it different from using coins to play arcade games. And yeah, as a kid I spent a fortune on arcade machines. :P
