My thoughts on Paragon Title + Actual F2P

Hey Guys I am actually F2P. If you can call $1 community 4* crystal "spending" back in I think 2018 (mephisto update).
So I 100% Act 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7
I hadn't started Carina V2 and Carina V1 is 4 done. (ill get to this).
I did all of summer of pain.
I did not do Grandmasters Gauntlet.
I do not play in high war ally.
Ok now I have 1 R4 which is the R4 gem from Act 7.
I did not buy the 10k deal at the end.
My catalysts are
1 full t6b and like over 30k frags
36k t3a (the sq gives 9k so ill form 1)
If I do all V2 Carina challenges Ill have
2t6b + 1 from do all v2 = 3T6b
1t3a + 1 from do all v2 + the bit frags = I think around 2.5t3a which is like 18k or a bit more frags away from forming the 3rd.
Carina v1 should in theory give me enough to have the 3rd.
Now this is where I am at.
If you DIDN'T buy the offer and did both Carina 1 + 2 + explored Act 7 + did SoP you will ONLY have 2 R4s at max as an actual F2P.
Now the Carina Challenges
First off the 3 LoL challenges with 4*s isnt a skilled challenge. Its spend till you finish , enrage gonna hit no matter what.
3* cyclops vs Collector (I did this 1) and while skill is involved. You can't do this itemless if you are skilled. Still gotta revive.
V2 Carina's now. Theres a few of them that you just can't do if you don't got champs. Example is the thor , korg 1. If you dont got 1 of the 3 champs. You just can't do it and gotta wait for RNG to get it. Some of the abyss challenges aren't that bad. But actually having those champs AND ranked is whats needed. If you don't grind hard in arena which I know most hate. It is statistically impossible to have 3 R4s as a genuine F2P.
You already need 10k units for completion offer. A few k for each LoL challenge. Gotta do Abyss 3 times and the other challenges.
This title isn't for "Skilled Summoners who didn't want to purchase the materials" its still behind a paywall in my opinion.
These people that say are F2P but buys Collector cards doesnt feel the effect of actual f2p players that are forced to farm revives or units from arena to get this title.
So this is my thoughts and my opinion and others can disagree but its still my opinion

If the requirement was for just 2 then I’d shut up and stop complaining. But to say having 3 R4’s is for skilled summoners regardless of monetary investments is false precision.
Admits to spending money.
Saw this earlier on Discord. It doesnt factor the t3a from this sq i think and it doesnt factor any offers aside from the 10k deal. Keep in mind they said you needed some high tier alliance stuff too.
So while its a stretch, technically it is possible for f2p.
what is missing here though is that you can also get some shards from playing higher tier aw and aq too
I thought Brian was probably one of the biggest if not the biggest F2P & even he couldn't manage being at the top, that too in a relatively chill alliance
And his routine was very unhealthy for a game but the game is his job so it's understandable
How would an actual F2P sustain in the Prestige race without enough sig stones unless he bought various unit offers throughout the year
also they need to increase T3A gain Look at this , You need 108k less frags on T3A than T6B BUT the difference is 16k you will always be T3A frags short...
This is meant for the very very top top players now and for the rest to climb towards it. It is not supposed to be handed out on Day1 to thousands and thousands of players, like TB was.
It's just Kabam wording skill to excuse their Spring cleansing money grab Grand Plan.
The great thing about SOP was that it offered a straight line path to Thronebreaker. If they release the eternity of pain stuff and the milestones somehow do that, great, but I really doubt they’re handing out that much t6b and t3a. I did the gauntlet and 27/27 SOP. I’m nowhere near a r4, much less a second.
I'm personally more bothered by the way they have advertised it. Saying one thing, that was immediately be proved to be wrong, refused to elaborate, leave it to be like that.
So realistically you’re looking at a 40k (15k+15k+10k) unit total you would have needed to grind over the last nine months if you didn’t play any high tier alliance events. There’s varying degrees of those rewards so the range would be difficult to total and express regardless.
In short, it is/was possible to do it FTP, but incredibly difficult and required very specific play and foresight.
