Is F2P dying a slow death?
Am I the only F2P/Dolphin who feels like after a dozen or so Marque events that the game is slowly being built towards whales, thus leaving us long-dedicated F2Ps out in the cold watching the game pic...

I’m F2P. The HSTR was behind a paywall. Gear 12 Pieces are behind a paywall.. the best Marquee toons are behind a paywall. & now 6• mods will behind a paywall. Each “paywall” expires after 5ish months to make room for the next paywall. Yet F2P can still be competitive. I’m top 5 in ships every day
This. You can pretty much kiss any chance of being at the forefront of a meta shift as ftp but if you don't try to chase the meta the whales follow you can do plenty well with the ftp toons available.

I play to be playing; not have had played. I enjoy the animations ("C'mere! I'm gonna use Thrawn's Fracture! Check it out!")
I'm pretty much a minnow (though I see myself more as a cuttlefish), and I have always been aware that the whales play a different game. That's fine. Good for them.
When my (almost-)FTP Troopers can take out a stronger squad, I feel a real sense of accomplishment. Without Zetas, even. Knowing that I earned (almost) every shard on the tables gives me a real sense of ownership.
YMMV, of course.
