though I agree some predictions are stretched ,some factors that surrounds ranking daemons usually determine the competition, that is to be expected hence there are player predictions, I think atleast that much is a fact even if players get it wrong.

some players asked in the comments and people answered and its entirely their decision if they will try for it or not since items are very important specially for free players.though.. they should take the past cutoff into account + all the other factors mixed in (popularity,art,type,skill, luck etc.) if they really wanted to gauge how they might fare in the ranking battle

in your take of some players might be purposely overshooting prediction to intimidate other players, that might be true it could be their strategy, though one thing is true if you arent going to whale or dont have high stock of items + good amount of hp I think its better to save and try for another event
