grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game challenging due to the high gold requirements for upgrades and the slow accumulation of resources, which can be exacerbated by the presence of hackers. While the option to remove ads is appreciated, the waiting times for collecting gold and battle points can be frustrating, and the reliance on real money offers is viewed negatively.
- “Farming gold is hard, as it is required in large amounts to upgrade. Real money offers are also disappointing. While the option to remove ads is good, I still have to wait 20 minutes to collect the next gold, battle points, or coupons to fight. I suspect there are hackers in this game, as I couldn't win against opponents with half my battle power.”
- “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious. It takes far too long to gather the resources needed for upgrades, making progress frustrating.”
- “I find the grinding mechanics to be overly punishing. The time required to farm resources is excessive, and it detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
