Being one of F2P players of this game, I also feels the way you said above, releasing things in rush might put F2Ps into frustration and making them to feel that this game is not for them anymore .. But some parts of the releases are also great for us, Power Systems and other Features .. For Ninjas, it is us who needs to understand the situation and adopt to the environment that will happen, the teams that we will encounter and etc .. In order to at the very least reach to the P2W, we must be smart enough how to play this game, where to invest and when to not spend .. How we use our resources (coupons, seal scrolls, refines, charms, cave keys and other things that has a rebates) ..

And last but not the least, set your mind and always keep in mind that you are a F2P that only have limited access to the whole game .. Making yourself to understand your status will make you play much better and less hard feelings .. People who spends money can really have huge advantage, even in real life .. So don't expect to win against someone you know P2W so it will not hurt you a lot ..

Note : v.5.0 has a lot of new features that F2Ps can and will enjoy so i'm not against it :D
