Well, tell me about it. It takes longer to get to level 10 than any of the other levels before. I do buy much fewer bundles these days though, so there's that...
Still, one day we'll get there eventually, hehe :)

I am since 3 years on level 7 and it is very demotivating because it shows clearly that only optimizing GAs or cheating the cv system let you level up in a timeframe that is "motivating". Or much money.

And i see a lot of accounts that do this optimizing stuff or cv system exploiting/abusing with, as example, shady ru store games, that are listed on steam with a high price and cost in that shady shops only a few cents.
