This may look like it is the case for you because you have been playing this game for a long time. You had the time to accumulate gems and exchange tickets.
A game is 100% F2P when "everyone" who pays $100 each month + has been playing as much as you has about the same win rate as you.
If you keep winning against other less experienced F2P it means nothing
A f2p game is simply one where all gameplay content is accessible to all players without necessarily spending.
It has nothing to do with how easily you can win against paying players.
Unfortunately the introduction of structure decks made most cards unaccessible x3.
Dream tickets have certainly helped a lot, but it won't be the same as before as long as they refuse to introduce rare dream tickets.
Creating new accounts every month allows you to play against weak players, improving your odds.
That a genius strategy there F2P guy.
In the mean time I will go on making F2P players cry using my meta decks.
3 copies of Molehu, Invoker, Magic Circle, Magician Navigation and Spirit master kind of rock.
Thanks for not limiting those cards Konami, the purchase was worth my cash.
Of course, farming for a very long time compensates the credit card advantage, but not everyone have enough free time.
Usually when I play against a F2P they either use an un-optimised meta deck or a non-meta deck, which is easy to win against, with an optimized meta deck.
More than half the F2P end up rage quitting once they see I have 2 copies of Molehu, Dark magic circle, etc..
Easy.
Well, there are also people like me which have semi-optimized decks and only go cash when there are good deals just like re-openable packs or the 3 pack+UR like now. And I can climb easily to KOG with my Blackwings, but just like someone said, not everyone has the time to grind on PvP
I created a new account 8 hour ago than decided biuld Flower Cardian I openened only 80 packs make this deck 100% complete, actually I'm at Dlv 15 and Platinum 1 rank
Well, if you are buying card packs, make sure to check the currency conversion rate.
If you pay in Euro you may be spending 45% more money to get the same amount of cards.
