I was really annoyed by the weird pay-for-play approach of this game, but I stuck with it for a couple of days. I still haven't paid a dime and with the new 30 minute wait I have more play time than I can handle on week days (especially if you can play in two sessions). At the beginning of the game, days do go by quick, but that changes a few days into it. There are items to compare, recipes to look through, workers to coordinate, so by the time I have played my 6 days/turns I already have a few new more. Another annoying issue were the rare ressources only available with tokens. As my shop reached level 25 I started getting them from quests, which largely mitigate the issue. Some other pay for play features might still be annoying to some, but I feel it's not nearly as bas as people were saying anymore. This game is definitely worth to try. The kind of player who HAS to to get the best staff, armour etc.. might feel frustrated, but one can still run a successful shop without paying
