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...

With the change of hard nodes to 8 sims per day, my one stress as an F2P player has been relieved. Any single hard node farms can now be completed in 3-4 months. I might miss a 7* legendary toon the first time around, but I'll get it the second time.
I don't expect to be #1 in regular arena as F2P. I know some people do it as F2P and kudos to them, but that's never been my focus or my goal. I get top 100 (and sometimes top 50), and that's fine. I'm easily maintaining #1 in fleet arena as F2P, which keeps my crystal income and zeta mat farming flowing. None of the changes that have come out will make that hard for me to maintain. I'm going to slice mods for my pilots before my arena squad because my bigger source of crystal income matters to me more.
And keep in mind that many F2P players don't play to be competitive. They play to collect, and collecting for them might just mean "unlock every toon," not "7* and G12 every toon." Marquees let them unlock every new toon right away, and they can then slowly work on toons needed for legendaries.
I do feel for brand new players, though. The number of toons you need to do everything - arenas, all legendaries, all raids, all guild events - is daunting if you're starting from scratch.
