If you are rich enough to afford to pay for this, you're too rich.

A few of the most broke-assed people I know in my gaming circles are all in on this game. The rest of us tried to gently prod them away but it's like a cult.

It is 100% a multi-level-marketing feeling I get from the active players that keep trying to reach out and get us in on it. I'm talkin late 90s Quixtar MLM pyramid scam feels.

The most scary part is, it's not only the rich. I knew people who have put their life savings into the game.
