You need to understand whether things are rushed or not, the gap between players will stay. Quick example, both players started playing at the same time: our fellow ftp does everything everyday, plunders, convoys. He manages to get 4k cp during a month. Our friendly ptw does the same thing, but also recharged for monthly card, has jonin medal and buys naruto froggy once during a month. Our ptw gets additional 16k coupons. Ftp got 4k, while ptw got 20k. It's an example, dont argue with me "how can i get that much". The point is, just this little thing allows paying players be 5 months ahead of ftp players. You will never be able to compete with those players, if you both keep playing with same efficiency. Just deal with it.

Now whether new content is rushed or not, it doesnt change the fact, that ftp cant afford anything. While adding new raw power functions like 2nd stage of myoboku allows paying players to get that power faster, ftp can get it too. Both parties need to spend exactly the same ammount of resources, which obviously favours paying players, because they have more coupons. The thing that is happening right now, namely releases of non impactful ninjas (edo jinchuurikis) actually favours ftp, since those 16k coupons that could be spent towards power are "wasted". Although, the more ninjas are released, the more likely we are to receive another meta changer, which leads to first conclusion- you cant compete with p2w.

Now from game's perspective, rushing content doesnt make sense at all. It should be steadily implemented, yes, but neither rushed or delayed. You need to find that sweet balance, where players get new stuff but dont get bored, because there's one minor update every 1.5 months. Adding things faster will result in initial happiness of the playerbase, but will quickly disappear when the game will run out of content (and it will).

The only feature (in my opinion) that should be rushed is implementation of Y skills and adding all basic ninjas(sannins, konoha gennins, basic akatsuki), since that both provides just a few viable ninja substitutions, as well as a reason and a goal to work towards (pokemon-skillbook collection). As long as it doesnt include ones that make top meta ninjas (looking at you susanoo sasuke, danzo & ay) this is the only feature that benefits ftp first and foremost. Updated shop would be a nice addition too, but thats 5.0 feature (if we receive same stuff as Germany), but those will benefit paying players more, because they can get more coins.

Authors of those ftp threads seriously need to understand this- you cant compete with paying players. The same way as casual spenders cant compete with heavy spenders. If you want to be competitive, you need a certain bracket of people- compete with your other ftp fellows or find something else that makes you enjoy the game. Trust me, finding such thing makes the game a lot more pleasant :-)

You also need to understand, there is also a limit that a P2W player can get and that a F2P can get. And that gap will eventually close.

Refines, Charms, Purifies, magatama, Myoboku stuff, Battle Armor are all limited to a set amount of power they can give. Which F2P can eventually max out on while P2W can max out sooner.

Ninjas however, some are Ingot only either on release or Ingot only period.

Limit? Please. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BS5-CqmhNMc

But if you consider mathematics- you are right. If the time goes to infinity, the gap will close.

In reality- it wont. A random ftp (4 ref/swb) would need to farm swb for 50 years to finish refining.

With the things you said, there are some problems that i see, starting from the first line of your paragraph, if you're gonna piece this new OP ninja then where you will get the coupons you will spend for the Power you are saying .. Going all-in for power is not enough nowadays .. Even if you have a lot of power, players with 30k to 50k power less than you can easily kill you if they have a good Ninja from event .. I experienced it so many times that i face players with less power than me, but having good ninjas like Edo Deidara can easily kill me .. And if you're really F2P, you will know the frustration of having to choose what to spend and when to spend .. There is nothing such a Perfect way of spending since F2Ps always takes chances whenever they spend coupons .. Level freezing too is not an option or maybe it is but for F2P, a lot of things will be lost from freezing .. the Coupons, Magatamas and other Power-up Items that you will miss because you're avoiding the missions that gives Exp, and even if you can manage to freeze your level between 60s to 80s, it is still not possible for you to get the 1st up to 3rd place in SWBs, because we all know, within that level clusters, there's always a shark that owns 100k+ power with that level ..

30k to 50k power gap, no ninja will save you from the power gap, that is he truth mate. Lets say I have a basic blitz team , Iruka, WB asuma, earthmain, Susano Sasuke(assuming I hoarded my seals for this ninja) lets say I have 90k power and I stacked my position one, all my runes and mags and refined and charmed equips is on my Susano sasuke, the rest are just supports. Then there you are you have 60k power (as you said above that -30k-50k power) with strategic ninjas with a balanced power build, no stacked ninja. The outcome is pretty legit, you will get nuked, Susano Sasuke will hit any unit infront of your team, you get repulsed dmg and the mystrery dmg that is a crit.

Going all-in for power is not enough as you said and that is true but you are a F2p you got limited resources, let the seal scrolls do the job for getting ninjas and the rest for power in that way you wont get left behind.

30k to 50k power gap, no ninja will save you from the power gap, that is he truth mate. Lets say I have a basic blitz team , Iruka, WB asuma, earthmain, Susano Sasuke(assuming I hoarded my seals for this ninja) lets say I have 90k power and I stacked my position one, all my runes and mags and refined and charmed equips is on my Susano sasuke, the rest are just supports. Then there you are you have 60k power (as you said above that -30k-50k power) with strategic ninjas with a balanced power build, no stacked ninja. The outcome is pretty legit, you will get nuked, Susano Sasuke will hit any unit infront of your team, you get repulsed dmg and the mystrery dmg that is a crit.

Going all-in for power is not enough as you said and that is true but you are a F2p you got limited resources, let the seal scrolls do the job for getting ninjas and the rest for power in that way you wont get left behind.

I don't think so, i remember being beaten by someone that have 70k power, and that time my power was 100k .. I'm using Seal Scroll ninjas,while my opponent was using Ninjas from Events ..

And here on my Second Main, i remember someone i beat, actually many times, who has 90k power using Seal Scroll ninjas, while me, using Hokage Minato with only 60k power ..

Fact, in SWB I lost to people who were 70k while I was 110k.

Running Kakashi Anbu Blitz with Darui, and Kurenai, LM (Kurenai being needed for some guaranteed CC) vs Kushina, Kurenai, Sailor Sakura, Water Main.

So yes, event ninjas do make a different.

"30k to 50k power gap, no ninja will save you from the power gap, that is he truth mate."

I was around 85k then, you can easily tell by hp difference, so that's more than a 40k difference. Along with that, I was only using basic ninjas, all his ninjas had more init than each of my positions, yet I still flawlessly won. My team is super weak against his, tendo is immune to nin damage, and my main dmg is all nin, with all that disadvantage, power difference, with an actual event ninja team, I could prob beat him with an 60k - 80k power diff. Although I might be contradicting myself but showing that a basic team can win someone with higher power level, my main point is power is not everything and you can't win with power alone.

And you just proved my point to QV that you dont need event ninjas to win, just a simple blitz team will do the job
