Pre-release player here. I've tried to play the game post global release, but it has gotten the worse it could. At higher levels, ONLY if you pay you can continue to play. The game does not welcome players that have a will, just players that have a lot of money to invest. Various example could be: Blessing Stones, the only way to obtain them is to do the Power of Destruction, but you can't have proper damage unless you have a lot of power (which requires duplicates of everything); Story, which gets too higher in power and for the same motivation as before, you can't progress; Drawing, which is a must do to increase power (you cannot increase it further if you don't pull any duplicates); Farming Essence Stones, which at some point gets impossibile to do and there will be eventually 0 ways to do it being a F2P when you get at the end-game phase (I'm there). It's sad that such a good game got bad just because they decided to paywall the advancing. Hope they will change something in the future.
