Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
It's not 5k neccessary to play with the big boys.
I'm top 40 in upgrades as of 8/12/2015 and I've spent under $300.
Also Rank 81 in pets; Rank 123 Wood cutting, Rank 77 mining (5 mins away from 67); Rank 131 trophies; Leader of Rank 17 guild.
All with money leftover to Up atk speed to lv.35.
That's paying under $300 (prob about 240-260 ish I think) over the course of 3 months gameplay.
Edit: 53 overall.
