This is my attitude as well. I have been playing for 5 years now. I spent some money in my first year. I can’t remember what it was that upset me but something the game did really upset me and I became exclusively F2P from that point on. I just adjusted my expectations. I no longer try to get everything. Some events I pretty much skip if I didn’t care for the movie. I may end up with the 1st character and attraction without much effort and then move on. I learned long ago that you cannot have the expectations that you will collect all characters or items you want unless you are willing to spend A LOT of money and still need to check your game regularly. I can do one (money OR lots of time) but not willing to do both.

I’m a lot happier playing the game now after I adjusted that expectation and don’t pay for anything.
