Started out relatively good, but recent patches turned this game into the usual $ynapticoin money grab:
Nerfed f2p units, massive reduction of scrap (which you need for upgrades) and hitting one paywall after the other (e.g. limited time for exorbitant hard missions, pvp map full of p2w decks).

@TheUnholy: Wait till you're fighting player-decks that consist only of the best Awakening cards, then you'll see the difference between bonders and non-bonders. Although till this happens, Awakening will propably be outdated and the next power-creep expansion will be available.
