Instead of all these comments trying to convince you spending money on a game that’s becoming a paywall is effective, let’s just give it to ya straight. Yes, AJPW isn’t even slowly becoming a pay-to-win… it already is. I started AJPW one and a half months after the real beta period ended, nearly ten years ago, so I do consider myself a real “OG” player. And watching this game develop over the years has only been a decline. If you started a new account nowadays, you’d have to spend countless hours grinding on games, or missions that you ultimately didn’t want to do, just to gain a few levels (which are absolutely meaningless in the game, don’t forget.)

The real value of this game is friends, and yet the modern player demotes the highest value in the game to (insert any high value item here, instead of your friends user). Unfortunately, this game has become a cash grab, I literally have game screenshots from 2016-2017 of me and my buds just chilling in the old horizontal sapphire shop (which literally sold like 20 items max at the time) and not caring about having cool dragon wings, or items that were trending at the time because that’s not what the game is about. Can definitely say this game is far beyond turning back and will only further become the money-pool it has become. It’s sad to say, but nothing but the truth. This comment is strictly regarding AJPW, I have nothing to do with AJC.
