Is the game p2w?

Trade will be enabled in the game, meaning you can privately give items to anyone you want. Additionally, there will be The Exchange in the game, similar to an auction house, where all items can be sold at the desired price. Will someone who has a lot of money in the game be able to buy any item they want?

I would like it to be. It would have a longer lifespan if there were people in the game who both enjoyed themselves and wanted to earn income. For example, World of Warcraft, FIFA 25.

Oh, but you can equip armors and weapons that your guildmates give you, making you slightly or significantly stronger depending on your skill level.
But when you start, you only have access to one active and one passive skill, so there's that to consider.

However, the difference in power can be significant if you compare someone wearing high-quality armor with shields and all the enhancements to a Fremen basic starting outfit. Of course, there will be a gap in strength if you pit two players of the same skill level against each other, with one fully geared and the other in scraps.

In Conan Exiles, you could also wield a legendary weapon from level 1 and feel a massive difference in power. However, as players progressed, the feeling of increased strength became even more pronounced, making legendary weapons feel even more powerful.

Of course. If you have a lot of in game currency, You will be able to buy any tradable item. Pretty much how it works in every game.. especially ones with auction houses. If you can not spend your in game currency to buy items you want, then what exactly would be the purpose of an auction house?

Every game technically is pay to win if you have to spend even a penny. The better question is do I need a sugar mom/dad to enjoy the game?

P2W is different than gold selling.

No one will be able to buy any item they want, as they can only choose from what is available.

The game won't have as massive trade systems that you see in many MMORPG's for example. Availability of items will fluctuate.

Even though from my experience with conan there is a high emphasis on dlc's and the cash shop there was never really any p2w

Getting the option for an early start is considered "pay 2 win" but so far there has not been any confirmation on in game transaction that give you an advantage over other players.
The 5 day early access gave me a chill down the spine tho.

A game where the size of your base matters and you can pay to start building your base 5 days before everyone else? You tell me if paying for 120 hours of advancing without half the competition seems like an advantage.
