Before, the "cash shop" advantage was better cards. Okay, what are better cards for? They are used to make a team that can defeat/overkill FAWs. However, free players can use event cards to make a team that can defest FAWs. In this aspect, there is no inherent point advantage, in terms of ranking, for someone with a Hellgate over someone with a Bianca/Snow White. Of course luck is involoved, but 1) Box summon teams can also get AOE'd 2) Earning points in usually not as affected by luck as other aspects, you can usually control it.

Now, the cash shop advantage is more swords/shoes which has a direct impact on the amount of point earned, so cashers will in the future come to dominate ranking.
