Make free steem playing DrugWars? YES. DrugWars a Ponzi? NOPE.

A lot of people are calling DrugWars a "Ponzi."
It CLEARLY is not.

I was very interested in trying this "Game" out.
Yes, it IS a GAME primarily and if you play it like that, instead of looking at it as an "Investment,"
you will have a much better experience.

How many games to you currently play, and I do mean PLAY, that give you any type of real monetary rewards back?
Yes, DrugWars has had issues and still does, but it is still early and actively being developed by an AMAZING team.

So...... Lets get into it :D

I started with the intent of spending 0 STEEM. yes 0, and see what kind of rewards I could get up to, and how fast.
First, I needed more resources, but I needed upgraded to produce more resources, so, I ended up building some battle units roudys first then some bouncers and just kept attacking small targets with the lowest production, it was slow, but steady.

After several battles, upgrades, and days later(~about a week)
My expected rewards are about ~0.1 STEEM
AND KEEP IN MIND 0 STEEM INVESTED!!!

My Tips & Tricks:
Do lots of battles, spread your units out across multiple battles.
Create new battles once the first one is done confirming.
Go for lots of little guys

Upgrade Building with resources.

I personally, have not "invested" into the heist yet because I felt it would be a better "investment" to use those resources to upgrade buildings and get a higher "Daily" payout instead of the 1 time heist payout.
I'm sure I will invest into the heist eventually but right now I'm happy with where I am.

In closing, I would like to point out that 100% DrugWars is NOT a Ponzi because I didnt have to invest any STEEM and I am still able to come up and gain daily rewards as a minnow :p
