I am lvl 50, with 60 silos and 40 watermills and all base production at lvl 4/5 and have every single production chain up and running. I played 1 year and haven't spent a single euro on the game- just traded for stuff and went all out in the relevant events for the special rewards.
Sure, i do not have a gem pit or endless copper mine as these are gem bought only but i can do perfectly well without those.
Name of the game is play the right adventures (epic/resources) and trade. I am not the only non gembuyer at lvl 50 with most stuff built either. The statement that you need to spend money or massive amounts of time to get more or less on par with a gem buyer is just a cop out for unimaginative gaming imo
