I ended up at Six Paths Sennin and gotten GNW Sai frags with which I can't really do anything and I am P2P player. It's purely about luck. Some people get something good / what they are looking for, some people just don't get that lucky.

F2P are really falling behind

Uhh.. not really ;P 6 players on top 10 rankings from my server are full F2P.

Actually.. spending gets you very little progress unless you dump hundreds of dollars or more into refines. Arena is all about initiative... which is mostly just how old your server is. F2p on a 6 month old server can easily have more initiative than a 500$ per month spender on a 3 month old server.

The current arena system is pretty a giant middle finger to all players who faiiled to reach 6 paths before cross server, spender or not. Disable point loss for those that never reached 6 paths would make arena a much better place.

So i try arena and get -9 at Anbu... F2P are really falling behind-

Stopped reading right at that moment lol. There are more reason for your downfall than just "I can't climb rank cuz I'm f2p hurr durr

u do know those paying players make it able for u to play for free right?
widhout donators this game whouldn't exist for u Free to pplay guys

HAHAHA you're joking right? Tell me its just a joke coz its sounds * :P

I do agree somewhat actually.

Its one of those chicken and the egg. We need the p2w to fund the game so f2p can play. At the same time, p2w need the f2p in the game to make the numbers.

If there's no p2w, the game collapse because there's no income to the makers, they won't see a point making more content and pushing the game, its not a charity. Looking on the other side of the fence, if there's no f2p, the p2w will eventually get bored with decreasing numbers in the servers.

that's not how it works though, the game is making more then enough money in china taiwan etc as those are the original releases, global is just for milking money. its not like oasis games create NEW content for global, they are just translating and implementing stuff that's already created and besides by now the game should have broken even on its profit if not made more money, spending loads in global mean making the devs rich nothing else. also I heard that all the sprites and character models in this game are based on modals from another naruto game called ninja storm revolution or something like that (it came up in one thread about future characters), this is a browser game I mean how much can the development cost be anyway and that only applies to china when the game was first released, you know what I think the fan boys are just scared global will be shut down if the devs don't get enough money its sad really.

also when it comes to games like these the marketing and advertising cost way way more then the development itself, that's how most android and Facebook games work.

what server are you from? how many p2w are present in your server? (4 from your comment I think), your server doesn't represent the whole community, what you just said is 99% of servers and f2p are in top 10s and 20s because 99% of servers have no more then 25-30 total active accounts, the 1% servers are the first ones that players cant let go of because they put time and money into it and even those first servers have like 50-100 something players.

Im from the HK servers where majority are F2P ;P and just clear things up, I never claimed my server represent the whole community btw.

However, this version is just a franchise, which is run differently by a different management.

Like how all franchises work. You get to choose how you want to release your content (as long as its still possibly in line with China/Taiwan), how you want to earn your profits, but the big owner still gets a cut. So its doesn't matter how China/Taiwan, etc earns on their own, that's their cut. Oasis do not get their cut. Oasis is separate from them. Oasis earn their own, and possibly have to give part of their own cut to the original owners.

Just like maybe a fast food chain. You get the franchise to sell that product. How you want to run that restaurant is up to you. Wages to your staff, duty roster, etc is all up to you. As long as the recipe and menu is the same.

Horse *, my HK server got dominated by p2w Chinese. They created their own group and when Sage War opened they didn't even fight themselves despite being put in different groups. It's doggy. We boycott the server with little players left and the server didn't have Sage war for like 2 weeks. They just racked up win streaks without fighting each other in sage war to get better rewards.

Lol really? Never heared that one before xD Good thing its the opposite on my server :)

French version is closing cuz it's not making enough money, who's dumb now?

My server is 100% F2P XD

actually hebihime amber could be a lot more useful than GNW sakura since can be used as a good replacement for kimimaro in Hidan SA difficult mode in solo while GNW sakura usefulness fades off very quickly

I'm stuck at super kage for months cos i never got any match. after 10 min wait i just don't bother anymore.

I have asked them a few times if they could implement a way to minimise waiting windows while waiting for a match in arena. I never got a respond.

It would help so much. At least you can ask world chat to have a match.

French version is closing.. So? Like I care? who's dumb? maybe you? ;P
