the only thing f2p get less resources from is plunder. and its not like its a huge drop. instead of 150 a day every day, u get 50 a day from plunder and 35 from convoy every day, 85total, then you hope for plunder tickets when you do convoys so u can get extra free plunders. So worst case u lose 65 coupons a day but that gets offset by plunder tickets anyway so u realy lose less than that.

on the other hand, after 4.0 we get a new shop, kinda like the coin shops we have now,but the new shop has basicaly every power item, and you get the coins from daily events. so this new shop with these new coins let you buy the power items you normaly tried to get thru events but u get them for free faster as a f2p than u would now because u get about 70k a week, which if used to buy advanced threads would be worth 4500 coupons a week, show me a f2p who gets 4500 coupons a week and doesnt work for oasis, so yeah you get alot more for free after 4.0 than u do now.

my point is, in 4.0 f2p get a new feature set that gives ~4500 coupons a week value, and right now people do not get that at all, 7 days of plundering 150 coupons is only 1050 coupons, 20 from tree a day is 140, 50 from monthly pack is 350, 20 from jonin medal is 140, so 1680 a week right now and then whatever events give. in 4.0 once that new shop comes out thats still 140 from tree, 140 from medal, 350 from pack, 350 from plunder, 245 from convoy for 1225 coupons and whatever events give plus the shop value of ~4500 each week. about 400 coupons lost for 4500 gained is pretty good as a f2p and is why i dont understand people asking if 4.0 will kill the game since they trade 400 coupons they could put towards events for ~4500 coupons of value in a shop, even if events give 4x the reward as what u put into it(which is the best ive seen with ingot rewards) then thats still a value of 1600 in items at best vs 4500 in items, the comparison from whats lost to whats gained is obviously in the favor of gains after 4.0.

no, u shouldn't save everything until the shop comes out, it will be a while yet, at least 3 more months but probably more, in that time new ninjas will come out and u will lose out on power u could get now.

@daemoniccerberus - we will get that shop, its a major update in cn and we have to follow cn. we may get different pricing on things, i doubt it but we could, but also their shop has already changed a few times since it came out so we wont get their exact same shop right away.

@Shryke - we don't follow germany, we follow china. germany also follows china but they are ahead of us because they started sooner. china had the % tactics and got rid of them, germany got them but will lose them like china did, and they learned from germany not to give those to us(i wish they gave them anyway cause it would make blitz better or turtles worse).
