I'm in the same boat as you, in some aspects. I'm far from the best on my server, but I do have quite a few ninjas, my lineup being S Naruto, KK Gaara, Wind Main, and Gakido Pain. I have quite a few rares, and although I have recharged, I don't plan to recharge to get any super rares or recharge only ninjas like the past Hokage for example. What keeps me going is the friendly atmosphere on my server that is always competing with eachother. I don't want to fall behind, and so I even though I'm weaker than some of the people, I rely on GNW to get packs and pull new ninjas. I'll have to say, this is probably one of the best p2w games, and even though i'm not a p2w, it's still fun.
