New players will never catch up to the older veteran players, getting to late game takes massive ammounts of exp grinding while stamina(fuel) is time limited. Also top premiums only come available to the top players via ranking events or events requiring points impossible to obtain without heavy spending, the rest of the player base can purchase these premiums at a later date for insanely high prices. The game is roughly 6 years old and it seems the developers want to squeeze out as much money as they can with battle passes and increasing event difficulties for non spenders. New players beware, go find a much younger game where you can rise to the top rather then here where you will only be mediocre cannon fodder for your entire stay.
PS while App Store says the game file size is 400 MB, the actual size is nearly 6 GB. Small difference…
