I don’t. Maybe those who ground it out, but not the ones who spent money. Not even a little.

But what does it matter? If someone spent extra money to make the game more enjoyable for themselves why begrudge them that? I understand people being against others spending real money to improve their DD team to gain an advantage, but where is the harm in doing so in RTTS. It is a single player mode that affects nobody else and it is their money to do with as they please.

Because it has an effect. On a personal level, it doesn’t matter. But on a macroscopic level, it is the reason the game industry is currently in micro transaction hell. In this particular instance, you’re right. SCEA has done a good job of not making it pay to win like NBA 2K’s player mode or any number of other games. But in a more indirect way, it still contributes to publishers wanting to do it more and more.
