Major p2w. It has only been out for a day or so, and leaderboards are already severely flooded with wallet warriors. As a f2p that started the minute it was released(afaik) and have obtained everything possible, even the exploring rewards... There is just no way to compete. Even with godly luck, you just can't compare to those who are spending. Smooth but utterly boring game. Just my opinion, and I'm sure those who spend have the whole other side to praise.
