I made the mistake of spending once when I first joined, but was only �3.99. Won't do it again, they go too quick..I'm on the building blocks and I won't be spending 12lp, or wasting 5 to skip.. I would rather have paid for this game in the first place and things bought for less LP etc.. Also agree that some tasks just take far too long.. I also can't connect through Facebook, and so can never do those tasks with neighbours!! Cannot connect to server, not sure if it's a Facebook, iPad or game server glitch! Shame because I do enjoy this game..
