True. They like to spam you as soon as you reconnect for useless offers. Only fools would pay 40$ + for something that isn't even worth a AAA game.
I find it amazing to think there are whales that have so much money they can waste large amount of cash for such a greedy rng game. They should go to casino ... it must be same statistics against them but they would eventually get more money to waste if they win.
Patch 2.2 has caused more load than expected on the server, it has increased considerably with new elements, forge and missions, if this is combined with several active tournaments at the same time and the large number of users who left it in summer and have returned with this patch, it is even more load on the server.
They are currently working on fixing it and making everything perfect again, I don't think they will take time to fix everything.
