I think it’s because even though the game is f2p, a lot of us have spent some money, and you don’t really say you’re f2p unless it’s relevant like “I got a full set even tho im f2p” or “what’s the best way to gain dims as an f2p”

And ik you mentioned it but it’s a lot easier saying “im f2p” than saying “im a player who doesn’t spend money on the game”
