A F2P Suggestion for Those Seeking Paragon

I was thinking, since the majority of players attained this through spending , and given the recent 7.4 deals that were bugged (allowing players to purchase twice , this may have been a massive help to some, but the reality is that most players don’t have 20k units to fork over to be able to acquire the deal a 2nd time.
I personally did have 20k units, and got the deal once. Not entirely sure, if I’ll get it again (i’ll be at just enough for a 2nd r4) since the material is being added to side quests, EOP, july 4 and cyber monday etc.
Nevertheless, this post is for those that don’t have that kind of money or units to chuck away for the r4 mats.
My idea was, potentially a new arena that awarded more units or a revamp in the current alliance /single player milestone rewards to have more units available.
The arena can be made available for a limited time (such as until the end of EOP or something). This would give some players a chance to get some units by the next time the 7.4 deal drops , and if thats already coming up soon, then at least for july 4.
The 7.4 deal has great value, sure. But, not everyone has the units available, or some may prefer to save their units for July 4.
Let me know your thoughts.

At the very least if we’re going to see crazy unit price deals be repeated for these r4 mats then balance the playing field of which units can be maintained? Unless the purpose of the offer being rebuyable was to add FOMO and have more summoners spend for odins to be able to afford the deals

It's not a race and we will get it eventually. Don't be a victim of FOMO and let it live in your mind (outside the game also)
The game would die instantly. Never alienate your players and especially the ones who keep the game going.
Us FTP players need to understand that.
The game use to be fun, now its all about marketing tactics and finding ways to make people spend the most money.
The reason I mentioned this is because we’re seeing (due to a bug) back to back deals that cost 10k deals, so why not even the playing field for those that aren’t spenders or farm in arena for 10 hours+ a day?
What's to stop a spender from doing your arena and getting more units gaining even more of an advantage?
The thing that’s a bit cheeky is the claim that it was achievable for F2P players from the outset. Sure, it technically was if you’re an F2P player placing masters and in a Top 45+ AQ alliance consistently for the last 6 months but let’s be real, there’s probably less than 50 players who fall into that category.
Now, see this cash offers buy you the mats required that are 80% (no idea if this is correct, feels like 99% i digress) current most valuable resources that is a pre-requisite of a new progression title?
Now add this zero-sum game on arena, battlegrounds,allience war, where those resources are "free to play?"
I honoustly don't understand why people can defend this as a current working system?
And yes, my comment made perfect sense but your perspective is way too biased to accept it. People are spending when they normally wouldn't or more than they normally would to get this title. Why would a for profit company take that urge away purposefully?
