Premium Upgrade: Worth It?

[EssXTee]

So, I've been playing for a little bit and I'm really enjoying the game. I'm heavily considering the Premium Upgrade, but I can't truly decide if my money would be better spent on that, or just rubies.

Obviously, the double XP forever and double gold for a year are essentially the unique draws (500 shards is nice too, but I don't know if that's all that note-worthy). I do kind of feel like I've missed out a bit given that I could have had double gold from the start, getting more value from the various achievements/quests I've completed already. But then I try to consider how much I could get over the course of a year...


Anyway, just wondering if anyone out there has already purchased the Premium Upgrade and can share their opinion on the value they feel they get (and particularly vs just buying rubies).

Think of it this way:

The amount of Gold, Rubies, and Crystals is truly significant. And with them you can get yourself TONS of content (Masters, Arenas, etc) and STILL get yourself boosted up pretty well to make up for all that lost time you've played without the upgrade.

ON TOP OF THAT...

- More XP per match = Faster Level = More & better stuff from level rewards
- More gold per match = More chances to play Draft = More & better stuff from Draft rewards

It is the gift that keeps on giving. You'll reach higher levels faster and get all the rewards you'd otherwise have to wait FOREVER for, and the additional gold means you'll be running TONS more Drafts, which is where you'll primarily be getting your PowerTokens, Rubies, Crystals, & Gold going forward.

Yes, if you're a cheapskate like me, it's always tough to shell out cash for a game that is otherwise free. But doing this is a no-brainer, as it's a HUGE boost.

But most importantly, supports the FANTASTIC dev team that decided to release this game for free, and have shown that they are one of the better dev teams producing some of the best games out there nowadays, and supporting them will help keep them around.

I personally think it is worth it if you enjoy the game and will play it. For some $20 might be a lot but at the same time, if you're going to spend hundreds of hours playing a game, why not support the developers?

The best thing about the premium, in my opinion, is that you can get all the masters (other than Milloween right now) straight away. Use the rubies to get all of them, otherwise it's a grind trying to get them. 500 shards isn't heaps but it allows you to get some of the basic cards to get you going.

I think you don't really need it.

But if you think you gonna spend a lot of time on this game, more than any other ones, you might consider it for small bonus and supporting dev that are quite responsive to our inputs (and at least communicative) ! ^^

Having it, I think I have accumulated much more than what it provides. And no grinding/milking (to balance lack of content or being competitive) feels good...
