@abeggertoo — I’m in Emerald league (got there before the new arena). I have 1 bird at rank 7 and the rest are 6. I have finished the current 400 levels. I bought the upgrade for red ($9.99) that is supposed to give you more feathers, but I’m not sure it gives you more every time you get them. I think I spent a modest amount of money a while ago, I guess to buy gems (it seems to be the only thing you can buy), and I use them occasionally to buy more birds to get through a tough level. Unfortunately I also used quite a few of them to buy extra entries into the arena and even an extra spell when I was trying to figure out how the arena worked. Good money down the drain, or at best donated to the common cause of figuring out how the game now works.
I should add that I’m not competing in the arena presently, since I don’t think the competition is fair.
As for spending a small amount of money, I view it the same way as becoming uncaged on ABN. I have enjoyed AB and other Rovio games for years, mostly for free or very nominal amounts of money. Rovio is a for-profit company, so I figure I should spend some (small) amount of money on their games,
