I played legally, until i started seeing i do not have what it takes mentally and financially to endure such restrictions lol which is why i started using apk. All the amount of energy needed to be used, all the things hidden behind micro-transactions. All the waiting to do TLQS and story. Even Gobstones and friendships leveling behind time-management and diamonds. I'm a free being, mobile games can have interesting games but they need to gain from somewhere, so they make it extra unfair for the player experience. Which modded apks gives back to the user, the experience they deserve. Legal or not legal, the user experience is much more suitable for us that are not devs. I love the theme of this game, i love wizardly world, whatever it is. But the restrictions was driving me nuts. I lowkey admire who plays on app directly. I see and recognise all their struggles and feel bad by second-hand for them. Even the most hogwarts fanatic, starts to second-guess why they are still playing.
