aaaah good ol mana pots. they replenish your mana almost instantly! but theres a twist you gotta buy em. only thing i dont like

Well you don't -gotta-. Only if you don't want to be patient and wait for the accumulation from missions and the odd drop from spirit banishing.

im typically against in game purchases like this, however, that being said; its a free game...this means the developers capital for improving the game is limited to A) sponsership and B) player purchases of pots. I dont always like that ppl with money can get an advantage, but its only slight(by cutting on wait time to regen, able to boost gates quicker, etc... there are no real advantages to the dynamic of the game through pots - ie; quicker casts or what not - so a lvl 15 w/ 100 pots is equal to a lvl 15 w/ 1 pot until the mana runs out). As many before me have stated, its not all that hard to accumulate pots if your an avid player....maybe 2000 is a stretch, but you should be able to gain a quantity suitable to keep going without purchases. maybe just have to plan your time a bit better and ficus on missions. I would rather deal with a couple "unlimited" players than have NO updates, NO improvements, NO support, etc...

I think that the mana purchase system works perfectly. I have purchased some to support the devs, which I put straight into a realm. But I earn enough that I can always use one if I want (to get a spirit before it disappears, for example) and have enough extra to buy a sigil and several realms. If I don't use any, at the end of an hour I usually have 20 more than when I started.

I didnt buy a single pot.
