Jonin will be ahead till hes stuck to the max level, so you will eventually catch up, as for coupons save them for good events, Power > Ninjas, its hard i know but you can beat rares ninjas if you have more power ( somehow ), depending on your level it will take time before you get any good ninjas

So how does it work? Top 1 guy on the server was with jonin medal, and a f2p guy behing him was at the same level, i dont know..

Jonin medal doesn't help you as much as you think. It just speed up the process of doing dailies. The reason why he is so ahead is probably due to 9Tails. This is probably what it's boosting his level so much, since if you are low level 9tails could give you 20-30% of your level, if not more (consider i get around 3kk exp each world boss...)

You can manage if you know what to do to stay on top levels if you do everything, even going into the jacuzzi helps. The guy with jonin probably didn't do everything and the f2p one did. Being F2p is hard and requires patience and time, remember everyday counts & doing ALL events gives exp daily so if u max that out and the jonin guy doesn't you have an option. As a small expender myself (i think i've invested 20$ for just returns of coupons) im ahead of all the F2p players with other 2 guys just because we do everything and we have just catch 2 of the big expenders (there are 3 in the server) in level and one in power, ofc if they are big big whales there is nothing to do, it will just take more time.

SAVE EVERY COUPON YOU HAVE FOR LUCKY BOARD OR SOMETHING YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON

PD: First weeks is nothing in terms of level, you will notice that like in 2+ months where everydays exp really makes a difference. With power is different, you have to go all power in all events and you will prob be behind always against big expenders but way ahead of F2p players, with time (a lot of time) its either that space becomes smaller or they go way ahead but expending way more, time is everything for f2p players.

In terms of xp, our #1 and #2 are jonin medal level 91. I'm no jonin medal #3 lvl 91. It is possible to keep up if you do everything daily, but BP is the most important thing.

in my server, I'm #14 in power only because i started about 4-5 days later than everyone else who's above me....it has been a climb to reach where i am but as the previous guy said....Time is key....you wont be able to keep up with the spenders immediately but you'll see that they aren't that far off once you put in enough time.....every chance you get save coupons for events that really matter

Level wise, jonin medal actually means very little. It takes about 2-3 weeks for a jonin medal user to get one extra day of experience advantage over a f2p player. For new players, starting day 1 of server opening has by far the biggest impact for levels.
