What you are completely ignoring in your - I hesitate to call it that - argument is that your "strategy" to get there without spending money is to open a ridiculous free pack you have the most miniscule chance of pulling. Your argument is entirely hypothetical. It will take you many versions of the game and many accounts to open that particular free pack.
In between 96.2% and 99.5% of cases (depending on what you consider "a winner" for your free pack) you will be better off just buying silvers off the market with the 1k PP to improve your team and get a competitive advantage. THAT qualifies as "strategy", not your wannabe house of cards, which serves as much as foundation for an argument than if I were to say that I could make lots and lots of money if I had a trained pet raccoon that could converse fluently with strangers in four languages, including Mandarin, while wearing a top hat.

Man I think you are confused or something. First the only point I am making is the first thing you said - which you conceded and agreed with: that someone with 400K has a competitive advantage. The stuff about opening packs was a purely hypothetical scenario to make the point.
Yes, maybe in that given scenario, its 4% of people who have a competitive advantage, but thats still 4%, thus unbalance. Now add in all the people who buy PP and thus have a competitive advantage - that number now increases from 4% to whatever the figure is. Regardless, the point continues to be that X% of people have a competitive advantage, which you conceded and we agree on. that is the ONLY point I have been making yet people continue to drone on and on and never actually dispute that - in fact, you conceded it was accurate.
Secondly, this has nothing to do with my "strategy". Its not my strategy is a hypothetical scenario as explained above. No **** someone would be better off just buying silvers, but that is not the point - it never was. You need to get past that in your head. It doesnt matter what you would do, or what I would do, or what is the "best" approach - I was talking about a hypothetical situation to demonstrate the point which you conceded to about a person with X PP has a competitive advantage over someone with Y PP.
Third, your little bit about the raccoon (which I assume is some sort of attempt at humor?) makes no sense and has nothing to do with the argument, because in your scenario while its unlikely your great plan to get rich would see fruition, I could attempt the same plan as you and attempt to get rich as well - but the thing here is in your scenario, we both have racoons and we both have the same competitive advantage to magically train it in languages and speak to people.
So yeah, like I said I think you are confused and/or struggle to grasp/comprehend a simple argument (which you already conceded my point by the way) - therefore not sure what to tell you beyond that.
