There are three primary factors affecting one's rank, besides RNG.

- How long one has been playing VC? A veteran with a collection of good cards from past events certainly has a lead.

- How much time one is willing to spend on VC? Ranking in VC may take a good amount of time. (read: time is money)

- How much money one is willing to spend on VC? (money may save time here.)

While people always talk about f2p, either be proud of reaching high rank as f2p or be jealous of not being able to rank as f2p, both parties are right. One may spend a lot of time on VC, either long duration in years or long hours in days or both, and reach a good rank without spending a dime. Free or not free, depending on how much money one's time is worth. XD
