SeagullWatcher have 70,362,198 EP and SED 240,503.
Teory he could get a max EP with all bonus Cards and get +200% (from most dammage and last hit) of
7.02 * 240,503 * 2 * 3 /100 = 101300 EP per hour.

Event last for 14 day so highest teoretc EP for him at event would be
14 days * 24 h/day * 101,300 EP/h = 34 M EP without using Pudding. To ge this he need max bonus all the time and to play 24h per day for 14 days.
70,362,198 - 34,036,754 = 36,325,442 from pudding.
Each pudding give max 50,649 EP. He spend at lest 718 puddings.
More likely he spend 800 puddings and each pudding just cost 1$ each.

On top of that he must have spend another 2-300 $ to get all the bonus Cards.

Maybe I misunderstand someting but to me it looks like he have just spend over 1000$ just on one event.

Yes, there are people who will go that far to win competitively. To the point that they'll practically bankrupt themselves just to have bragging rights. That's what companies involved in whale-hunting aim for, and it's increasingly common now.

64 percent of all F2P games' in-app purchases come from 0.2 percent of their players.

That's a fraction of a percent, guys.

These are people who are prepared to spend 7 thousand dollars a month to stay on top of the leaderboards.

Indeed, some people will just spend tons of money. That said, there is a daily bundle one can buy that gives you puddings cheaper. He might have stacked up on those since the game start, although that won't make it tons cheaper of course.

We'll be able to catch up later on. As long as the other events roll out well, we'll be able to stockpile enough items to keep pace with the big spenders.

being in top 10 myself I can tell you seagul spent atleast ~1.5k$ atleast at this point, probably more lol. Card revleals/Event tickets/Donation for kurito/Event puddings It does not come cheap. Look at peoples' SED, i've donated shitton of puddings and other shit to the squirel to level up my cards and my SED isn't even that big 200k+, anybody with similar sed donated ~100$ to kurito at this point or cheated on the event with alt accounts and farmed elimination awards. Some have done both lol.

That's some scary insight on in-app purchases there

The little 1/day pudding sets are a fair deal for a little boost. I started picking up the 10g/pudding and 100g/3 pudding deals a bit before the event started and mostly throughout it. Definitely given me more worth than all the 300g event tickets I handed over

Quite interesting info being shown here, both mathematical and statistical.

Most likely PPS has some high-payers, and I as a F2P player don't have anything against that. I mean, it's their choice, and they help to keep to game alive.
Also, at this point, their cash spendings don't really mean a problem for us F2P guys. It's not like games when your set of whatever (units, resources, cards, etc) goes straight against another player's, with the result of resources being taken from the player who lost (as happens in other games).
I do believe though, when the PVP-style event comes up, then those spenders could cause some uproar 'cause they'll likely become unbeatable. But still, that should affect only our rankings, and nothing more.
I actually think that PPS protects the F2P players quite fairly, compared to other games.

During this event, for example, what got most of us stuck on lower rankings wasn't exactly due to those cash-spenders being at the top ranks, it was the goddamm 8.7m guards issue. Cash-spending gave them the possibility of beat that wall and get better results, I agree, but it's somehow predictable to happen.

I agree with [MENTION=67]Skulkraken[/MENTION] when he says that we'll be able to catch up later on.

I am in full agreement with Danex that PPS treats F2P people fairly. Far more so than with most games.

I'm also in agreement with Skulkraken. We will catch up with the big spenders in about a month or two..depending on how each of us plays. The amount of time, lucky draws, etc. It will be very hard to be #1 in any rankings without spending money, but things will be far more competitive in later events.

The only issue I see is perhaps with PVP events like Danex mentioned, but there will only be like 20 people at most that will be truly 'unbeatable'...probably.

Now, for something totally off topic, but I suppose I'll toss out an educated guess....with the new Nutaku game that is going to be released, I foresee 'spending money' making a far bigger difference. For those who are willing to spend money like that on a game I would suggest holding on to your cash until then; however, I do deeply thank anyone who supports PPS..and any Nutaku game really. ♥

PvP are a paper-stone-sicser game with Moe-Babe-Sexy I hear. Each player start with 5 girls they have selected. Each turn players selecet a girl each if both players chousen have same type the girl with higest power win otherwise type desides winner. So with luck 5 N-girl can beat 5 SR-girls. Maybe each turn the girl that Looses is removed from game and game go on untill one player have no more girls to play.

In PvP players just need 5 SR-girls and it is not so hard to get 5 SR-girls to level 100.
Power only go up a few points for each level after 100 but that few points might matter a lot in PvP.
That might make Ex-Wild really usefull.

The way I see it is like this, nutaku is rich. But in all honesty who wouldn't want to spend thousands of dollars on your favorite game, the thing about nutakus game (and many alike) is that they are very competitive, it's about being the best and you will go through anything to be the best. I remember long time ago I used to play this game called habbo, and boy was I addicted, the first I would do I'm my mornings was to go on habbo and I would spend hours there, eventually I made some friends and they had credits and they were rich and I was really jealous, I promised my self I wouldn't buy crazy amount of credits, but it didn't take long before I decided I needed to show off to , so I brought $300 dollars worth of credits just to buy things, it was really stupid because I spent all of credits on stupid and pointless things, eventually I got bored and decided to quit, and promised myself I would never spend huge amounts of money on games again.....
Until recently
