In this game you can pay 25$ to instantly bypass what would be a year-long grind just for a single dragon. And then it will kick you in the nuts and ask for another 25$.
This is just crack cocaine except you don't get high, you just get a funny little mount.
For what it's worth, this game is great. The classes are (mostly) balanced and the core gameplay loop keeps you coming back for more. Plus the general style for this game is just extremely charming.
