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’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.
Then you are doing something wrong, and that has nothing to do with $$.
Really ? How did you come to that conclusion? If all f2p have the same idea which is go for the current meta they should all reach the meta teams at the same time basically resulting in no progress. I saw this with JTR where I couldn’t break from 100-200 . I splashed like £300 on light reven and got to rank 2 yes rank 2 . I refused to buy darth revean so when I got him f2p I’m currently 50-100 and everyone around me also now has darth reven.
Because not all players and metas are alike. Many have been hinted at and could have been starting farms at various points in time based on the players willingness to follow speculation.
Also many players hoard crystals and have different levels of income of said crystals. So yes really, and no it is very unlikely that 2 players will end up at the same point in a meta at the same time. We all get there at different paces.
But being stuck in the 100-200 and winning as much as you lose is a player issue and has little to do with $$ and more to do with development and possibly understanding of the mechanics. If I had to guess I would start with mods and work from there.
If you and everyone else has him in the 50-100, you should be able to go higher, I dont think you have 50 malaks in the top of your shard, which could give you trouble, but still not lock you out. Also, we have a decent counter meta of GR, which is doing fairly well even with a 6* padma.
Again, all of this has nothing to do with f2p vs p2p.
