My starting out experience with VC was sort of similar to yours, I guess. Oh, and I'm a filthy F2P too. xD

I've been playing since December 2013, before UR were introduced, but I took a 6-month hiatus between April and October of 2014. Sometimes I get embarrassed when people see my ID in correlation to my kindgom level, cause a lot of players in the generations after me have already surpassed my current level.

I originally picked up this game cause.... art. lolz. And I have a very soft spot for trading card games.

I still remember how newb I was at the aethestics of the game, I spent like 3 BP on a level 15 Mephistopheles. Thought that was hard. Mephisto wasn't my first SR, since the event was almost over when I had joined. My memory can't recall exactly which card, but I have a nagging feeling it was Cyborg. Honestly, I wouldn't put that past Nubee. xD

Being a FAWK, I've only ever ranked for like... 4 events in my whole life. Including this one. I only really started trying to rank at Sukuna-Bikona's event, because FAW EVERY STEP ON MAP ASDFJKL;. Back then I still had the good ol'-fashioned turtle team... which is pretty much completely useless nowadays. I changed my deck to a glass cannon one after Sukuna-Bikona, and oh golly I was able to slay FAW so much easier. But right after that, Nubee pulled the FAW-costs-1-BP bs on our behinds and I was completely devastated, cause, y'know, I was finally able to rank successfully. I think after a bit I've adjusted to the 1 BP FAW, but even after constant improvements to my team I still get rekt like crazy. I'm still plastered to this game cause 1. art, and 2. I need something to help keep myself busy.

Honestly, I can't imagine how hard it is for new players to get started on this game nowadays. But whatever. If you're a newbie and you're frustrated, just don't give up. You'll dig yourself out... eventually. May RNGesus be with you.

Long post is long.
