Well, i have to admit all you said will become true once the server merged. However, you can't stop the feeling of loneliness that most f2p or p2w player possessed after stayed in a dead server for a long time without any competition. Tbh, competition is what players want no matter you're f2p or p2w....Take cross sage battle as an example, when it first came out, most f2p/half-p2w complained about the match up was not fair, they met someone who had 20k power higher than them. They complained about they had zero chance to win the fight, so they thought the game *s. This showed their * of comprehending the situation that the game is supported by p2w. Even regardless of p2w, f2p still want to gain fun from competing with each other.
The last thing i want to say is that your voice will not reach to those players, coz they only love competition and fun.
