Yeah, one of the issue that is apparent as i read through all these comments, is that the number 1 factor of discord is the unability to set a universal definition of what P2W is, everyone has it’s own.
But some people do have better arguments, considering how THIS game works about what could be considered a fair/unfair advantage.
Being able to litteraly generate almost infinite silver through token selling, in a game where currency is SO important, in terms of leveling speed, access to gear and the ridiculously expensive attributes, can hardly fall in the “fair” side of the spectrum.
And a max level player will play with and against players on their own level range, so, there is no big deal.
Indeed, same level, but you’ll have to compete, in PvP, during world bosses or trying to find party members against people that got far superior gears and attributes than you do. these very people will crush you in PVP, deny you almost all world boss loots (wich is limited) and be picked first to high-end content parties.
