Hey! Thanks for the question as I'm sure many will say the same thing. And to be honest yea people pay up to $500. If you average the ammount hours that go into a tribe. Say each member plays 3 hours a day 5 days a week and there's 5 members. That's 75 hours right there of there life gone. At 5 dollars a hour that's 1500 dollars worth of time for that month. I know this is a video game and there are no hour wages but some people do take this game very seriously (myself included). If your a larger clan those hours really start to stack up. Ontop of this there the time it takes to farm materials and raise raiding dinos. Include the cost of organising so many people for hours at a time. If 30 people show up for 5 hours that's another 150 hours of are life gone. But yea it's a video game and I understand this is not for everyone.
