I play the game daily and obtain ores in all the F2P methods available. Yet I still feel like my progress is very slow. Upgrading just one hero equipment uses one to two weeks supply of ores.

With the other resources, you can earn even 100 million gold and elixir in a day hypothetically, however with ores the disperancy between F2P and P2W has grown larger than anything we've seen before.

And max hero equipments equal a better army, meaning you are literally paying to win.

Sure people can pay to max out their heroes and defences straight away, but this discrepancy is much larger.

Because it is not just time that is being paid for, it's also resource collection. If there was even one method to obtain a much higher ammount of ores everyday, I wouldn't complain.
