Do not succumb! The ads for this game are *highly misleading*, but the
game itself is highly addictive, and can drain your wallet if you are

 Not a problem for me. I refuse to play any game that wants me to pay
to keep playing or progress. I may have missed out on some decent
games in the past but my bank account thanks me.

About 8 or so years ago I got caught up playing one of those free online games that you had to spend real money to on to actually win.  It was also a team cooperative game so that added peer pressure.  I played for a few years and spent way too much money on the add ins, but I eventually stopped playing and my bank account thanked me as well.
