Is the PvP Dead or Pay-to-Win?

PvP ignores all gear or stats, all are equal

You can start pvping once you finish the quest in Luterra. Equal footing, zero advantage if you have good gear.

Island especially the weekly ones where no one cares if you win or lose, you get the same rewards is "p2w". As in if you want to win nothing, you can outgear anyone and destroy them.

This is the PvP character setup screen you use for ranked and unranked arena, and a 3 other pvp game modes.

You unlock this screen at Lv.25 and have zero disadvantages when PvPing on a low level PvP alt.

As for GvG, some of it is p2w and some of it is silly game modes where gear does not matter, like Naruni (aka Mario Kart)

Is PvP dead like some are claiming? I don't think so. I hit the queue button and you enter battle within a few seconds. But at higher ranks you do start to see familiar players.
Thats the best answer I can give for this.

0 paytowin, but kinda dead, at least on SA we are the same bunch of dumbf*cks playing everyday, on the other way guild vs guild yes, p2w.

Irony, to think of a Non-P2W mode that is dead.

Arena PvP where there is leaderboard/rewards is equalized.

Gear is equalized in PvP and it's far from being dead. No p2w in PvP, it's only skill. Feels a bit like League of Legends to me, personally. Which is a good thing.

Alright I'll give it a go. and also thank you everyone else for your replies. I would like to do arena pvp more than the p2w world stuff.

Yep you can pretty much just do the main story quest till you unlock arena pvp and only play the game for the pvp only. You don't have to worry about gearing up or anything like that.
