Question for top ranked FTP players

My supposition is that the only way for a FTP (a true FTP, not a "I spent money but now I don't" one) to get rank 1 on a server is to have the level pause like there was at level 60 then level 70. This must have allowed FTP's to get caught up to the PTP's.

Otherwise I don't see how an FTP player can get to #1 competing with people that are leveling and gearing much more rapidly than others.

Would you top ranked FTP players agree or disagree with this? Did the level pauses assist you?

I spent 37 started release day, the pauses help Vs whales but then honestly you can(read could) catch up on gear and levels pretty quick, it's the shards that are slow so being ahead or at least on top of the meta is more important. I was on top of the phasma lead meta and that is what really brought me up high in the rankings and I build upon that.
