Q1 - Free: How much of the percentage of players on Ayakashi are cash players?

A: I'd say around 15%. It is nearly impossible for free players to reach the 5000 rankings for heavily desired Daemon, and those who spend $$ spend for keeps. And based on the event cutoff (30k), I'd say we have around 35k~40k people playing this game.

Q2 - Free: Have you ever spended money on anything on this game?

A: Uhh, wouldn't those who spent on this game be considered as a Cash Player?

Q3 - Free: What's your luck with Bell/Rare Summon or events?

A: The first part, again, if you are a free player, then you couldn't have done Bell/Rare summons (unless you're a kit kat enthusiast or app grabber). With events, well, let's see. During my time as a free player, I've actually been non-item spending free player. As such, the events were difficult to compete in, yet extremely rewarding. Every 5 star has its own tale to tell with deep emotional attachments. I've especially enjoyed participating in EGs - I've set up groups for the event and tirelessly played with many people. It was through this experience that I managed to meet amazing people, who eventually became my guild mates.

Being a free player is an amazing experience. It teaches you to be patient, to be competitive and strategic. Spending money to get shiny cards... while that's satisfying in one sense, the experience does not measure up to obtaining the same card as a free player. I treasure my memories of being free - reaching 81 (and getting gangbanged), finishing Suzuka/Kiri with max skills (pre-tomomds era) and event achievements.

If you are currently a free player, I would strongly recommend you remain so until you can achieve the following goals:
 * Achieve level 81
 * Attain FH on Tower and Conquest
 * Attain 750 Daemon on Tower
 * Attain 100th Daemon on Conquest
 * Attain 9k Daemon + 3 mags in EG
 * Attain 70th Daemon on SG

Doing this will not only be immensely satisfying, it will also teach you about the game more. And if you decide to make that transition to a cash player, I guarantee that you'll be ahead of others who doesn't have this experience. And not to mention, you'll only be a free player once - make the experience count!
