I've been a free player from Hinamatsuri Rebellion until Swimsuit Conquest before finally caving in WWW. Before spending, I was a heavy advocate for free players, and I posted quite often regarding the discrepancy between free and cash players... so I'll try to answer question from both ends.

Q1 - Cash: What do you expect from being a cash player? A: More enjoyment out of the game (in a different sense), thrill of competition and of course, shiny cards. Of course, being a free player has its charm as well - Five star daemons obtained during my Free period are far more memorable and were more... satisfying, I guess? Especially making the rankings.

Q2 - Cash: Do you (aim/obtain) the top rankings? A: Well, in WWW/HMD I made the 1500 total rankings. I made top 5000 for FH, top 800 for SH for WWW, top 800 for FH and top 3000 for SH during HMD. But I wasn't really aiming for it - I was more focused getting both Supreme Wandering Ghosts. I did not participate in Soul Gem event and I did not need to buy SWs to obtain Sky Piercer/Lu Bu + 3 Magatamas respectively from EG, nor the Guild Event.

Q3 - Cash: Do you get 5* from rare summons as soon as they are released? A: I've only spent on two 60 packs of remedies and on that Android Exclusive donation pack. I personally think that rare summons are a waste of resources - while Daemons drawn from RS tend to have better efficiency, but their skills cannot be maxed. So no.

Q4 - Cash: Have you ever made regrettable decisions? A: Hmm, well, I regret not making the top 800 for WWW for TR and not maxing out Miranda/MLRS. I actually would've been happier achieving top 800 for the entire WWW than achieving 1500 on both WWW/HMD. And yes, I regret participating in HMD. Although EoT and Kaguya are pretty dang awesome...

My overall experience being a cash player is very satisfying. I am comfortable having spent the amount I have, with very few regrets. It's incredibly satisfying to attack strong teams with strong leaders - something which I never dared to do when I was free. Moreso when I manage to counter the same Cashers.
