Avoid if You Value Your Time

Pirate Power highlights a plague that is rampant in the mobile gaming industry; the players time is not valued.
You can allocate hundreds of hours to this game and still not get all the upgrades you want, or you can gamble your real money hoping to unlock them.
After spending about 10 hours playing, I can see it will take far too long to get any real enjoyment from this game.
So much potential wasted.
