best f2p players?

Okay okay, I was going to stay away from this thread, but after giving it some thought I want to give some input on this. I graded my top 5 based on the following; PvP, Grinding/Leaderboards, and server influence. I also put a lot of emphasis on players that have been around for all three seasons, as if you weren't here for season one, you've missed a large portion of the realms history.
1. (Tie) This would be between Cayden and myself. While I get that Cayden has dominated PvP for the majority of season 2 and so far this season, there's a lot more that should be taken into account. Not to knock Cayden any, but he wasn't much of a PvP or leaderboard threat in season 1. I not only dominated season 1 in PvP, but also in leaderboards. I was #1 bal top by over double what second place had. Even Cayden copied our nation name from season 1 haha (Trident). Also, to add some backstory on this, SVAs in season 1 were not used. The meta was axe PvP and I don't think anyone actually used SVAs for anything. So throwing P2W in there is irrelevant. I even think Cayden had access to more SVAs than me in season 1. Then what a lot of people forget in season 2 is that I lead the town/nation that dominated the first few months of season (until I got staff). This was before merging with AngelWood.
3. RQCAPTAIN - RQ was never into PvP or necessarily a lot of grinding or anything like that, but if it wasn't for him, Earth wouldn't be where we are today. RQ was pretty much the first Earth staff and through season 1 and early season 2 he just kind of had to "make it up as he went". We didn't have rules posted for the first several months of season 2 and RQ & Jib were the only dedicated Earth staff. He was having to give suggestions, handle reports/tickets, and report bugs. I honestly thing without RQ Earth would not be the same in the slightest. This all goes without saying that Hydro (RQ's town in season 1) would consistently place 3rd-4th in monthly champions.
4. SkyDieGame - Throughout season 1 Sky's town was consistently placing 4-5th on season champions and he was doing it with just two people. Then to start season 2 it was always about the same. When they formed AngelWood, he would consistently lead AngelWood to 1st place in legends, lead the most powerful nation, and helped make Earth what it is now.
5. This is kind of a hard one for me. There's so many people that could go here, but I think I'm going to go with Ester070. Ester is probably the first free to play player who worked their way up and had a lot of money in season 1, and 2. He also worked his way up to having a fair sized SVA collection, and has shown that you can still win, without spending any money. Ester has also contributed to the server through QA and other aspects.
Honorable mentions go to Baitin, Hazy, Megq, GoldenLumberJack, Elbon, Sara, Jib, and CreamyPuffs (in no particular order).
I'm sure I'm missing some stuff on the list to mention, but that's what I came up with. It took me some time to think on it, but I didn't think it was really fair to not add a bunch of extra points to players who have been around since the beginning. Since it's the greatest players ever, equal emphasis should go on players who just played season 1 vs. season 2. Let me know what you think.
