Saving that much happens in any other game, especially mobile games. So it comes down to who is willing to be dedicated or someone who spends as fast as they get the currency?

My issue is that from the looks like of those who try to point out that saving is hard seems like they don't have the patience (someone recently said so in one of their posts). As a f2p, you don't have the luxury to say that if you want to compete.

I rarely see the point you are bringing up in the trading off with saving. I understand that point as I see people increasing their initiative more than mine while I save but I know the trade-off when to spend and when to save for my situation. It was much easier to figure out the trade-off to spend before the rushed content but the fuku deals helped the decision process since if I plan to spend that much in a week of fuku, I'll get an assortment of frags, items on top of what I spend for that week, whether it is on power or ninjas. Before the rushed content, I had to rely on predicting based on the perceived timeline of what we would get from Germany/China and when a ninja comes.
