"So other people spending money makes you not want to spend money ? It's not manipulation , it's free enterprise and this is a for profit game. Where is the cheating ? It's Innos's game and they make the rules , spenders are not breaking the rules therefore are not cheating. You must be moneyphobic lol"
That is exactly what you said "Spending cash to accomplish things in game that I could not accomplish without spending is cheating, and robs me of any sense of accomplishment. It's actually a disincentive to spend imo." PS . A Gucci purse is not really worth 35,000$ , people were manipulated into believing it is and bought it just for the name even though they know they were manipulated.
