I have been playing on my server since day one as a entirely F2P player (not even a medal) and here are my thoughts.
This game is extremely focused on paying players, and as a F2P you will struggle to keep up. If you play from the start of a server, and maximize everything you can you can stay relevant for a bit. But if that server ends up having a lot of whales in it, then your relevancy will end quicker.
The game also has a lot of illusions of chance. For example fixed pulls needed for certain characters, rewards in trial breakthrough being fixed no matter what cards you pick. I can't speak for everybody, but for me this makes me paranoid. If somethings are fixed, are other things fixed? It really makes me think twice on how to spend my coupons. A lot (and I mean a lot) of the weekly events need coupons or ingots to do, and as a F2P you are really limited in what you can participate in.
There is more I can talk about, but it really boils down to this:
TLDR:
If you don't mind being behind just because you are a F2P, and never being able to be top tier in rankings, it is a alright game. This post was last edited by Dragonfire14 at 2016-9-30 09:34
