I have 5* iruka as ftp but....

You do know new servers are a thing right?

I'm in S12 and I got iruka to 5* yesterday (as it happens, also 5* wind blade on same day. I did have to give up 100+ sakura frag which I was saving for breakthrough to get the iruka thou).

Ergo, for any player who have NOT charged during platinum recharge yet (doesn't mean ftp, just didn't recharge during that event), the server can be considered new if it's less than 14 months old. Of course, you could give it a bit of leeway and say 8-10 month instead, but quite frankly it makes it more or less moot.

I've been top 3 in nine tails for the last 10 months. I've been to almost every nine tails, missing less than 10 since start of the server. Currently, I get 1st in nine tail 1-2 times a week, the rest of the time 2nd place. The only one who can beat me is a ptw who changed class so he can copy my team.

I'm also ranked #1 in exp, at 381% rn. Given most other sources are constant, that's largely due to me doing lots and lots of fox.

It's true that I haven't donated to group in a long time(~8 month?). But there is more than one way to contribute to the group, I got 110k contribution, I think that's reasonable.

Donation is also inefficient for high level group. Our group is lv 11, going forward it would require a total of 9 billion coins worth of donation to get a new tier of skill (i.e. so that the donation actually make a difference). The same amount of coin spread to the individual players will probably grant more power up than that through 8 gates.
