I think there are too many "will" statements that disqualify people from fitting into the categories.
Kraken - I mostly agree with the definition. Attain all content as soon as it's available. No pay range because it depends on the content. There could be months when less then $500 is spent.
Whale - $200 - $500 monthly average with the tenancy to spend larger amounts when new content is wanted.
Shark - Willing to buy vaults periodically to keep advantages in the game. For example, buying vaults to get the newest or hard to get gear to update their core characters or buying shippacks to get a jump start on ships and unlock the zeta challenge early.
Dolphin - The value shopper. May go long periods without spending money, but if something of good value is available they will likely open their wallet. 125% bonus crystals for example.
Guppy - Willing to spend relative small amounts occasionally. Usually this would be to finish moving up a character to the next * level (Baze or Shoretrooper) or daily login crystal packs.
Plankton - The FTP that hangs out with all the other sealife and wants spend money but can't #studentloans. Usually ends up being (b)eaten by whales.
FTP - You've spent $0 on the game and have no intentions of purchasing crystals via real world cash. Small percentage hold this as a badge of honor and tell as many people that'll listen they don't spend anything! :smile:
Retired Spender - at one point was a spender, now living the FTP lifestyle.
