I've been L50 for a good while now, and have 427,000,000 XP. I only spent money on GoFest. I have been gifted 2 community day event tickets, so there's another $2.
That isn't counting money spent on phones, auto catchers, spare batteries, etc.:-)
My thoughts are they should change the trade rules to be:
- 10K for any trade.
- 100K for Best Friends
- Global for Lucky Friends
Make there be a reason to keep those lucky friends from the other side of the world. Set up a trade section in Campfire where you can communicate and set up the trades, especially the lucky ones.
