So I've spent around 70$ on the game, and my last payment was about 2 years ago. And if the game can actually occupy me until I turn gray it's a win for me and means the devs did a great job.

Do not play a good daddy and do not try to convince me that GGG doing all of those "good things" for us, becouse this is not true. Fact is that GGG is making good only for himself and in fact all of those what you have wrote is making the game - rigged. Since everything is there because GGG wants it, the player actually has no control over the game, and it is purely illusory. No one can verify the currency drop rate, no one can verify the damage dealt by enemies, so one can clearly conclude that everything can also be changed on the spot for the needs of GGG. Due to the fact that game demand to be still connected to the internet - non of the players can be even sure that have the same possibilities like the other player. Does the game make any sense for us in this case? Those who are supposed to win for GGG's needs simply win, and those who GGG "doesn't like" lose, and all for the sake of money, of course... but is that what the game is really supposed to look like? Is that not going in the wrong direction? The game is supposed to relax and entertain, not manipulate.

Fact is that GGG have invent new form of cheating but it will break the world due to the fact that this kind of manipulation is over controll and it will lead to unpredictable consequances.

Did you quote the correct person? I can't answer you sorry because I have not mention what you are talking about.

1. ...do not try to convince me that GGG doing all of those "good things" for us ...

2. Fact is that GGG is making good only for himself and in fact all of those what you have wrote is making the game - rigged.

3. Since everything is there because GGG wants it, the player actually has no control over the game, and it is purely illusory.

4. No one can verify the currency drop rate, no one can verify the damage dealt by enemies, so one can clearly conclude that everything can also be changed on the spot for the needs of GGG.

5. Due to the fact that game demand to be still connected to the internet - non of the players can be even sure that have the same possibilities like the other player.

6. Those who are supposed to win for GGG's needs simply win, and those who GGG "doesn't like" lose, and all for the sake of money, of course... but is that what the game is really supposed to look like? Is that not going in the wrong direction?

7. The game is supposed to relax and entertain, not manipulate.

8.Fact is that GGG have invent new form of cheating but it will break the world due to the fact that this kind of manipulation is over controll and it will lead to unpredictable consequances.

Still I will respond to some of the above:

3. Sure not the world is just an illusion?

4. Verify for what? I never verify if all code inn Football Manager is correct and if I "get within what I should" when it comes to newgens.

5. Some games are online games, some are not. If this need and should? I don't care.

6. You are at least a true comedian even if you don't know it, but I hope you do. It is funny trolling if you do.

7. I enjoy and are quite relaxed - except when fighting in dangerous situations.

8. Read number six again! But you missed Illuminati

If the only achievement that you are planning to get is to be able to kill milions of enemys and you do not carre if it make sense at all ... so truly this is a form of a game exactly for you but the same you can achieve on watching on rusty hydrant and trying to count of a number of a grain of a rust.

You have spent 70$ but I bet that a most of the players a spent a much more not becouse they want but becouse GGG leading them by the nose...

The game is indeed designed to be challenging and time-consuming, which could be seen as a win for the developers at GGG since it encourages player engagement and potentially spending. This suggests that while they want to keep players engaged and playing for a long time, they also value the player experience and community. Otherwise the game would not have such ratings.
You don't take into account getting divine orbs quite correctly, there are many more ways, which is why it's so important to play comprehensively. One way to acquire Divine Orbs is through Gwennen's Gamble. Gwennen offers the opportunity to gamble for random items, which could potentially include Divine Orbs. On the other hand, Dannig allows you to buy specific resources, possibly including Divine Orbs. It's also worth exploring the Azurite Mine. Encounters in the Azurite Mine provide opportunities to obtain valuable items, including Divine Orbs.
This is just some of the available options for obtaining Divine Orbs, at least those that were available on the patch I played. In fact, there are much more of them, so I advise you to recalculate the time to receive them; you will need a slightly more complicated formula...
