was so excited then that crushed it

any idea how much I'd be looking at spending to be competitive? or if I afked enough (24/7 pretty much) would I be able to gain enough to buy items in game without spending too much in the item mall
Well if all you do is AFK you really can't expect to be on the same level as the people who play many hours per day. The game does have a bunch of AFK options for people in your position, but it will be slow going (levels and gold wise) compared to people who actually play the game.
Afking for 24 hours would probably net you the same amount of exp/gold you could get in like 2 hours if you were actually playing. That being said, the game is very Item Mall heavy. You can get by with spending maybe $10 a month in the item mall, but you will never be able to catch up to those crazy people who spend $200+ per month. I played it and it's predecessor (Battle of the Immortals) for about a year and enjoyed it, spent around $60 total (so $5 per month), but really I just got tired of people getting what took me hours to farm in the matter of seconds by charging their credit cards. If you have a lot of patience you can play the game without ever using the item mall, but it will get frustrating.
