yeah, think how those of us who have completely finished leveling our group skills will feel, we will NEVER be able to get those monthly event points again. You can at least get some of those points by being patient after you level your group skills next time.

f2p will never catch up to p2w. once p2w get everything hey want they get to far coupons for free and have no way to spend them while f2p keep spending them to catch up, then when a new feature comes out p2w has tens of thousands of coupons saved in addition to however many ingots they want to recharge and regain the lead and then some.

and thats only if there is a way for f2p to get the items needed to catch up for free, right now some features f2p cant get the items.

im a p2w on s2, the f2p arent catching me, to get all the things i have for free it will take years, they might catch up to my current power because new features will have free items they can get that i currently dont have access to, but for example to get my rank of battle armor, it takes over 2k adv thread, the only free way to get it is spacetime which using spacetime alone would take 23 years for a f2p minimum, add in the rare event that gives it and spending all their coupons on it and maybe they will have my battle armor rank in 10years with the current reward setup.

TLDR: free to play will never catch up to pay to win unless that pay to win quits
