Have to disagree with this, as a f2p myself and also on the top10 of my server i have to add a few things here:

1. to get to the fuku deals for 20k is literally a nono for any f2p out there, the 4k coupons that can be saved a month have to go to power in that months best event you can find, if you wait more you will be prob go down being competitive.

2. Being f2p in this game doesn't mean follow tier formations, you will never be able to have a top tier team as a f2p unless u are lucky with the wheels, focus in an stable formation is the way to go for a f2p that can stand against future tiers and actual ones.

3. Clothes for a f2p? like hell, those should only be bought when really need it, as the initiative ones are, the rest just try to get some frags around and in months they will be completed, but never get em when they come out. what is +150 nin gonna change your team in any particular case, yes more power! like dam that´s nothing in the long run.

4. There are more things to disagree just from what you have said, but im out of time, new updates is always cool, new ninjas always cool, new stuff is always a good thing because the game improves & to finish this, if you are a real f2p with experience you will know the stuff above, i'm 105k power btw so i do know my stuff.
