Warframe being a third-person shooter is a sandbox in a sense where you are given tools such as weapons (even creating your own custom ones), warframes, etc to be able to mod them the way you like to suit your own playstyle. There are always things to do, but generally it is up to the player to find or set a goal for themselves. Of course, given the sandbox nature of this game you can choose whichever frames and weapons you want to use for missions and the like, though keep in mind there are some things that make certain mission types easier or more bearable. Quite many frames/weapons are viable and it also depends on how you mod them (just make sure you level them up to 30 before selling anything).
It may feel like a hard thing to get into for new players because of the learning curve but just take things slow and don't be afraid to ask questions for a lot of things. It will really help you out in the end and the community will be more than happy to help you learn things as you go! You can get an idea of whether the game is for you or not after a while.
Keep in mind that the main appeal of the game is the grind, fashion, and the ability to do whatever you want really, whether that is collecting, decking yourself out with some of the best mods, hanging out with friends, dojo/clan building, fashion, etc. Players with less than 125 hours won't really have hit the tip of the iceberg that has things opened up to them such as completing the Second Dream quest and various other quests or things that have opened up new possibilities for them. This game isn't for everyone and a lot of people who aren't patient will probably either call this game "pay to win" or just end up quitting or put up with the grind and wait times
Later on, when you get into the game you can start making the premium currency called Platinum by selling stuff to other players which is used for slots (slots aren't capped so you can buy as much as you wish), reactors/catalysts, cosmetics, and more but there are various alert or invasion missions that popup in that you can get a lot of these things for free. Though, it isn't advised to buy any full Warframes or Weapons in the Market with Platinum because you can farm them ingame via various ways (or get their blueprints from the Market or Clan for credits) or buy currently vaulted prime warframes from other players. Achieving Mastery Rank 2 will allow you to trade at a dojo if you're in a clan that has a trading post or Maroo's Bazaar on Mars, though it is heavily advised to learn the baseline prices for things by using https://warframe.market/ (you can also use this to sell your items), but do take note that the prices listed on there are considered the BASELINE prices which are prices that are NOT set in stone, which means you can choose to set a price higher than the current offerings on the market (which is sometimes advised to do, since you can take advantage of people who sell cheap then you will eventually sell yours for a higher price than theirs)
So with that being said Warframe is NOT pay to win and is more pay to skip or achieve faster or look fashionable, but even IF you do buy things with platinum such as Warframes or weapons from the Market, you still need the mods to be able to actually make those useful and as a new player YOU WON'T HAVE THOSE right away. Pretty much all of the mods necessary for a lot of things can be easily farmed ingame. DLCs are completely optional and are more like Starter Packs than anything really with pretty much everything in them being able to be farmed ingame easily
Of course, early on you WILL WANT to learn parkour movement, so later on down the road you won't have to learn it like most people who try to do the Mastery 8 or 11 tests which have some parkour to it. You can learn how to do it by reading this: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Maneuvers#Sprinting
Anyways, here is a basic progression chart for the game and which bosses drop which normal warframe parts and more. You will need to complete various junctions to be able to access new planets now and some story quests, as a new / returning player you will want to do this first along with getting mods to get you up to speed:

(Due to an update the following frames have changed locations boss wise with Excalibur being from Lech Kril on Mars, Trinity from Ambulas on Pluto, and Frost from Lech Kril & Captain Vor on Ceres)

Why when you buy a blueprint weapon or tenno you don't get it with double mod capacity like it happens when you buy it with platinum?! It's really unfair and you are just prommoting even more the fact that who spends more money in the game get's everything, better and also the fact that certain items and acctions it's only possible with € injection. Now tell me, when i read in your official page that warframe is a not a pay to win game? At least make it fair for the ones who've rather to spend platinum in skin than in weapons, warframes, rush's and so on...
This really makes me play less and less this type of games.
MONEY!!! MONEY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!"
I found this, explain yourself people. lol
As I said, pay to save time, but using Platinum doesn't actually make a player any better at the game. They still need to rank up their MR to get the best stuff, they still need to put in time and effort for the grind (unless they spend an ungodly amount of money buying Resources as well) - but it gives no ultimate advantage - just potentially saves a lot of time.
Also, nice bait.
You can double the mod capacity of anything you build by installing a catalyst or reactor. You get those from ingame alerts and invasion rewards, login rewards, holidays, and special events.
I find there are different definitions of what Pay 2 Win means. One is that if you can pay to advance in any way, it is Pay 2 Win. The other is if you can ONLY advance by paying, then it is Pay 2 Win. So it depends on which definition you prescribe to.
Well it seems to be p2w because you do advance, i do not say that you cannot farm to get the stuff, but the option to buy your way thru it exsist, which can give you and time advantage which in a way does make it pay to win.
Alright. You buy a weapon with platinum and I craft the same weapon. You get 2 capacity per level while I get only 1 until one Invasion mission reward is Orokin Catalyst and I can double the capacity of my weapon as well.
Your weapon isn't stronger than mine with Orokin Catalyst. Capacity is needed so that you can put more and stronger mods into the weapon. Without mods you are not stronger than me.
"certain items and acctions it's only possible with € injection. "
What the hell is this person talking about? What items and actions are only possible with real money? Colors, skins, melee holsters? Those do NOT have impact on the gameplay and do not make you stronger. They make you look good.
"At least make it fair for the ones who've rather to spend platinum in skin than in weapons, warframes, rush's and so on..."
The game is exactly that. Oh dear... you can get all weapons, warframes and companions for FREE. Anything that can change the tide of battle is farmable. Some may be event exclusive until DE finds a good place to put those weapons or consumables where we can farm them.
I have used money only on skins and I have farmed all warframes and weapons on my free time.
Same in most f2p games, but my point being is that you get an advantage and you even mention it, but it takes you more time but during that time i can get my mods and being ready to ♥♥♥♥ you up in shorter time then you have, which what it seems from what i read from you gives me an tactial advantage because i saved time.
Plus buying something will only speed up your progression, but theres nothing at the end of the starchart that really justifies rushing through.
Advantage as of you can complete it all faster than someone who does not pay for it.
But if not, you have to agree its kind off p2w not completely but a tad. also i'm asing because it seems to be a little pay to win but noone wana admit it and call it p2s instead :C
You can't buy mods. There are only Dragon Mod Packs that give 5 random mods. The game has about 900 mods so are you going to push your luck and buy tons of those?
This is PvE game. So what if somebody on your team had bought Trinity (Healer, support). Is that a bad thing when your team has a healer or a player different weapons? Their purchases has no negative impact on you. Only benefits.
