Yes, you have to buy a Wubbox using in-game coins, but I don't see what the big deal is. They are still clearly correct in their statement. You do not pay real money for anything in this game unless you choose to do so. Many of us have done so for one reason or another, but it was entirely voluntary. To my knowledge, BBB has never provided any game element as a cash only incentive.

Here's what it all comes down to: If you feel that the cost of pursuing some aspect of the game is unreasonably expensive given your present income, you are likely trying to reach your goal before BBB intended you to try. Have a bit of patience. Breed more profitable monsters as fast as you can. Feed them up at least to level 10, but don't bother with level 14 or 15 until you have coins to burn. Buy a Unity Tree as soon as you can, then buy as many different objects as it takes to make your most productive monsters as happy as you can.

The greater population of monsters will produce more coins, allowing you to bake more treats, causing you to level up, and resulting in access to more critical infrastructure elements like a bonus breeding structures and more expensive decorations. In short, concentrate on making monsters and making them happy. That is what starts the snowball rolling.

Lots of players choose to defer decorating their islands and creating the perfect mix of monsters early on, in favor of creating highly productive islands that can later be used to fund any given game goal or final island design. It is an aggressive style of play, but can be very effective at attaining your ultimate goals in the shortest possible time.
