They certainly do. The point is a F2P player can still over time collect a dominant set of jobs(characters) and abilities ( attacks, heals, buffs, debuffs) i qould recommend to anyone to download the game for free, get the 3 job starter pack for free, and play through the single player game. Probably 20 hours at least of free fun. There is a subreddit. (MobiusFF) where we ask and answer questions for experianced players as well as noobs. Hardest thing to get in the game are Supreme abilities...you draw abilities 6 at a time from different packs and events, its RNG and 0.8% chance for 1 of those 6 to be a supreme. I currently have 5 out of 12 supremes, and 3 out of the 5 supreme skins that are a 2% chance to draw. There are F2P players with more supremes than me, lucky folks, and there are whales that spend thousands that have all 12 supremes. Thing is we dont fight eachother...so a whale having whatever doesnt hurt me at all...and the entire single player game can be beat without any supremes. I played a year before i drew my 1st supreme...steady building up my deck of abilities...then drew 5 supremes in the last year. That part is all RNG, but the more you farm the more you can draw, and the game gives away summon tickets in events as you play through them weekly as well. They do a good job making sure the game is balanced and it can never turn into a " whale dxck measuring contest" . I have played for 2 years, and its the best game i have ever played on mobile. You also have a "magicite distiller" thats always running at the top of the screen, it fills up about every 12 hours so you can log in, grab 100 magicite, and log out...or you could collect it hourly if you wanted to...but its free currency either way.
