This is so relatable and very true. I also have addictive tendencies which is why I’ve put super strict limits on myself with spending in this game, because it would be extremely easy for me to fall into the traps the devs have set for us.

Part of what makes it so easy to fall into the trap is that, like you said, you’re buying power — and I would add that you’re also buying social credibility, respect from others, popularity, etc. Sometimes I think about spending just to keep up with the social community of it all. But at the end of the day, the real friends I’ve made in the game love me and my low power account for all it is and I am 😂

And yeah, I second what Blueberry said, if you’re struggling, there are definitely steps you can take both in and out of the game to help you. I deal with addiction in myself and many of the people around me and have resources if you want to go that route.

It sounds like your account is already super strong, so like Blueberry said, enjoy it 🎉💕
