I deny this statement. First because there are plenty of people that compete without spending. And second because skill is not a deciding factor in any current PvP. Lack of skill can be, but when every interaction is against an AI there isn't a great deal of skill needed.
I’ve heard this a million times.. but the top players in the game spend lots of money to get all the latest toons (usually toons that are ‘broken op’) while CG slowly releases them later on for f2p players.. nerfing them along the way...
I’m f2p.. been playing for 3+ years.. I’m basically stuck in between rank 100 - 200 in squad arena. I win about the same amount as I lose. It’s become very boring, and stagnant.
GA, and GAC aren’t any more interesting for me.. it also very frustrating, because some of my “ability “ is measured by toons i focused on 2 years ago, when they were relevant. CG has, unfortunately, released a ton of new characters that constantly usurp the role of “best/must-have to compete” .. there’s no way to get these when they’re released without your credit card.
Since I elect NOT to ”pay to win”, or if you like: “pay to be competitive”, I rely on PVE content to find enjoyment in the game.. and sometimes stuff comes along that shows some imagination.. but less and less as time goes on ..
