Is F2P dying a slow death?

You don't need a meta team to be competitive in arena, their are plenty of counters to traya and if your in your shard chat you'll climb higher either way. For f2p the game for a lot has become a hobbies especially with strong reddit and discord server interactions and community so the game transcends being a game for a lot more than you think. As far as being p2win well of course but that doesnt mean its pay to compete, my fleet shard has quite a few ftp top 10 we swap daily they picked the right stuff to farm and didnt stray, and they like being competitive and working thru challenges with their fellow gamers then complain and give up. Also p2p just gets it faster sure but your mot far off f2p i had jtr the second go around because i stopped everything and went vets the day I missed her and voila had her next time. Most meta toons will.still be on the meta time frame the second time.they go around and not for nothing but fame something obscure you never know when it will come in.handy and just have fun stop.worrying about an evga few crystals a day from PO.
