Happens quite often due to majority of the spenders being bad. Most f2ps end up learning the game if they want to make progress, while the spenders buy 200$ outfits and throw stats on all 4 chars. Main reasons for being called out were; pulling a kage super, having better refines due to running blitz with a stacked position 1 during 1.0, 2.0, and some time during 3.0, but alas, back then I was met with only bad assumptions. Not even freezing over here, yet people who can't understand the basic parts of the game go around bashing "better" players.

I am talking about my previous encounters with lowbies and spenders considering me a spender due to them being unable to understand the game. Now it's completely different with how plundering got massacred. Sage is imbalanced to the core if you're not a freezer, and even if you are a feezer, there'll be people who had a head start. Matsuri ain't much better either.

Trying to give advice in the current patch is completely out of the question because the 3x50 plunder before 4.0 determined a LOT when it comes to being f2p.
