Not true for most part...now a f2p/low spender can catch up to a heavy spender within 6-12 months(100k power gap). Only exceptions would be people like Neo who are 200k-400k+ above the rest.Some just stack their resources and wait on powering up so competition can catch up (doesn't mean they are not paying).This is the best it has been for F2P, u know spenders had to buy keys using ingots ....think how many ingots it was for full lvl 8 from lvl 6.....I will wait..40k ingots....and no gold orbs either.Now f2p gets to have lvl 10 cave keys without having to pay 200k ingots+gets gold orbs?How about BA lvl 7? was about $1000 from lvl 6 to 7...now people can get for free? Advanced refines? 30k from lvl 9-10...now can get for free.Charms? had to buy with ingots...can get for free too+can get from rebates.20k ninja? free from wheels....200k+ ninja ? free from GNW+with time.

The thing you are asking is like...someone working on Wall Street goes on vacation then a person working on mcdonalds should be able to catch up during that time. ...such ideals are nice in theory but even communist countries realize those are not practical/leads to laziness/less paying customers. Who would pay $100 to $1000 every month/week if your advantage is short lives...cost benefit *ysis? I am sure some don't mind,have seen some spending 1000 like 1 dollar but most whales are everyday people/some are doing low income jobs/working over time...just putting almost their paychecks into this game.More people paying =better it will be for f2p.You nerf events,people stop paying or quit...so they have to nerf f2p stuff to make f2p spend. Whales pay,gets rewards, use that rewards to stay ahead....however another whale can catch up if the current whale doesn't recharge. F2P can still compete equally in many events...and enjoy the game...group summon,cat quiz,zenith,arena,9 tails,plunder,convoy,GNW(farming seals),training grounds,etc. Only event truly impossible for a f2p is ST top 3.

Snip:F2p should compete with other f2p or low spenders if wants to be happy...and heavy spenders and f2p will not be in the same lvl unless the whale doesn't recharge for 6 months+. Game is a game of patience...as some would like to call....whales get it fast ...f2p get it few months later.

Event nerfing,RNG,cancer teams(Naruto 6 paths cancer),toxic/jealous people always complaining,high level in low lvl sage,meta(your 20k+ ninja useless in 3 months and have to run the same team or won't be able to enjoy events).

Like I said ,you admitted to catching up...somany whale and f2p caught up to previous whales/space time top 2-3 after they stopped like 1 year ago.As for losing to naruto it has to do with naruto being a broken char. ...lose to naruto with more power and having high ini so....called cancer for a reason.As for ini, it is RNG...purify+stack pos1?

In other words,f2p can catch up to most whales if he quits/stops recharging within a year....only problem that would hinder it is, ninjas/ini which you have to be lucky or recharge a bit to get...couple of froggies +ninja assists should can boost ini fast compared to old days...using refines,charms or tools. After awhile you need like 20k coupons/ingots to power up a little on one item...if they made rebates bad...people will quit/or stop spending...causing f2p be shafted more. Happy whales =better events for f2p.So just take it easy when whales kill you...and just compete with fellow f2p...otherwise it will be an uphill and a sad battel. Most successful p2w games give more advantage to spenders and almost no f2p can have some chars without spending....this game is not that bad. Every f2p can have what whales can have with time...time maybe long but reducing the time means less profits+less spenders leading to making things even worse....that's why they balance things. Only suggestion would be making low recharge rebates good like 10k is great 20k is good and 30k is ok....but might lead to less profits.For a company profits+investors+paying customers are everything...f2p gets something but not the main priority since they don't pay. And no amount of argument...or even forum mods can't change the way a big company thinking....lookup oasis and 10cents mission,vision and strategic plans...they won't change it for low level support(community and forum members...not even for the programmer...sure the programmer has a more say than forum members/mods).

Amen...like naruto said.

True true...people flexing money and acting immature is annoying. Ofc just because someone spends money doesn't mean they lack the skill...well making money takes skill too:P But most of the toxicity comes from f2p acting like people owe them everything and they should be handed the same things as people spending thousands of dollars xD .....had f2p crying about not being able to get edo hashirama within 6 months after GNW treasure came...because he saw some whale got it by spending like 200k ingots day 1...like brah you want to get edo hashirama that fast without spending money.lol At the end of the day, freemium browser games always have catered towards paying players...well there should be something to trigger f2p be spenders;otherwise all will be f2p :P There are games you can play+comete with equal footing,but most of them require you to have a good computer and buy a physical copy. Ofc someone with a good computer +internet can wreck you even with the same amount of skill.And if you think spenders have it easy...think again...there are some walking banks with 200k-400k power over most whales stomping people in events.. nothing can be done but to smile and walk away.

Moving onto real problems: 6 paths naruto cancer...eek.

medal trial maybe?I think shop had one.
