Indeed free players are not all in the low tier. If they adopt certain strategies and are PATIENT and willing to spend the time, they can indeed get a powerful deck without spending money, obviously it won't be nearly as easy, some people don't neccessarily want to be the strongest out of all players, some are satisfied to simply being the strongest in their level range or tier.

I myself know that (currently) I'm not anywhere near the strongest in the game simply from seeing my ToD ranking but it doesn't mean I can't beat the pants off 95% of the player near my level range, for the longest time I was a free player and built a powerful deck without spending more than a couple dollars, and as an FYI I did it without doing any bazaar trades,

I probably hold a  few game records (of which I will not currently discuss) but at the same time I understand that there are paying players and they are needed for the game to stay afloat. I neither mock such players nor expect the same in return.

Free players are not just "food" for paying players, such line of thinking is obnoxious and naive, and neither are all free players dumb with no sense of strategy, it is simply a choice on their part to to spend, sure a lot of free polayers are casual gamers, but it still doesn't make them "food", I was free for a long time and built up a wealth of knowledge that I helped to impart upon this wiki, I've spent a bit of money in the near term for a specific purpose which i will not repeat, but I still for the most part consider myself more as part of the "free player/minimal life time spender in the game" crowd.

I may not represent the mojority of your "average" free player but neither do i think my "group" is tiny compared to the the ACTIVE RoD community.

They had their 3 million download gem sale, but do not be fooled, that is DOANLOADs not active users. I would say far greater than 50% and maybe closer to 80% of those accounts are no longer active. i mean just look at the ToD rankings M is the lowest tier, what is the highest M rank you have seen? the highest I've seen is M rank 32194  the ranking ranges are incomplete for J, K and L rank, but it is probably safe to assume by M rank you are ranked at least rank 50-60k so that means there are (at least participating in the ToD,) only 90k~100k accounts.
