I'm saying that there's more to F2P success than raw time commitment. I don't think that's a stretch.
To clarify: If I sat down and laid out all my tools, including all my game models and predictions for content and strategies for how to get ahead of AH trends and handed them over to someone, they could deploy them with good success and not that much time commitment. That's what I mean when I kinda imply that the knowledge is important; if you know what you're doing, really anyone can do it.
But not everyone has the interest or the background or the connections to the point where they can develop those tools. I owe some of my success to BFF players who had a better grasp of the game economy than I did and being able to follow their approach. I'd imagine some players in the group owe some of their success to the really detailed modeling insights that I've tried to provide.
Everyone's story and approach to the game is different. My only point is that success mostly comes from being able to develop and access good game knowledge, rather than the raw time commitment that I see a lot of people write off F2P success as.
