About the pricing, HELL YA, its way too expensive, but what most forget is that we are still at the start of this game even though most are close to the end of it by throwing loads of cash at it. Its said that we are "eventually" about to get most ninjas in the game "practically for free" which might take years to come..
Well, I really commend the developers and the upper management of the game, doing a great job at creating the need and supplying the demand.

P2W will always be ahead of F2P here, this is just one of those type of games.. I mean unlike certain games like Dota 2, it will come to a point where skill and strategy are completely pointless here. Well, I'm still doing well in the arena, but no such luck at events such as SWB.
