wew, thanks for alot responses, I appreciate everyones point of view!

From my point of view, the game has changed a lot from the point of 1.0.
Staying low level makes u farm scrolls, and refines easier, grants u an awesome title, and its completly legitimate if you are f2p. Nobody can force you to do plot and level up, I myself did it here i am on S60 UK lvl 82 35k power, imagine my fun in the game. This video has targeted audience of people that go from server to server.
Here in the new video I've faced guy that is p2w with chiyo 10 puppets, and Pain tendo, still won even if he killed 2 of my ninjas with an ease. It all depends.
