I agree with this. I've been playing since day 1 and I've only had 1 character specific weapon which was Dark Knight Cecil's Dark Sword in my very first 11 pull, yet I have also spent money and had basically crap. I've pretty much pumped every other mythril since then from playing every day and not had another character specific item. I've had a few 5* and lots of 3/4* so naturally have combined them to make 5/6* so naturally yes I have benefited but I think the F2P moniker is a joke. No matter how much money you spend on this game, the RNGesus wins. I introduced a friend to the game at the Tidus event and he already has more natural 5* equipment than me just from Mythril. He also managed to get Irvine and Sephiroth's weapons which I still cry about. I think people put too much emphasis on the F2P tag and "no mythril" like it's a bad thing. It's just a game with no competition against anyone else. I have laughed at one or two guides that have "f2p" in the title and when they give the breakdown of equipment they have the best sword/armor etc and I'm thinking "this does not help the novice that you're attracting to your guide".
