Hi folks!
We're all aware of the game's various attempts of getting us to pay real world money for gold. We've been discussing strategies of avoiding the temptation.
But there's a little trap that's not quite obvious, and can really ruin your day: The game isn't aware of / doesn't respect the type of data connection of your mobile device. It happily downloads updates, event data etc. when it starts, no matter if you're on an unlimited WiFi or on an expensive mobile data cap.
And we're not talking peanuts here, the "Christmas" event, which got snow onto all tracks, was a whopping 100MB. Fortunately, my mobile cap is 2.5GB and I'm aggressively rate-limiting usage via Android, so that wasn't a problem, but for someone on a tight budget, this may be a nasty surprise.
