How bad is the P2W?

[Ceciliantas]

Is it really P2W where you will get hard-walled by some difficulty increase unless you either A. Grind for ridiculous amounts of time or B. Pay for power? Or is it really just P2P *Pay To Progress*?

This is a legit question, not trolling or anything, just really want to know the truth about it. Thank-you to all who answers.

it's definitely "pay for power"

pay for power and you need power to progress

lol if only it's just pay to win, lol. Every years new updates come out with power creep gears that invalidate ALL your progress. Yes, ALL. You need to farm a completely new set of gears every years, and your previous set that you spent $2000 to build is virtually as good as trash. Even if you manage to get to end game with all the best gears, pay or not, next year you will have to do everything all over again.

Technically this game is pay to progress, but since "progress" exponentially increase every years, f2p players will never be able to catch up to heavy payers even if they sell their soul. Like, even mobile gacha games is no where as money milking as this game.

There's really no difficulty increase. Frankly, the first few dungeons where you're getting used to the game is the hardest part. The further in the game you get, the lazier your character's kit becomes. Eventually, you just press a button to wipe every area and spend most of your time just moving to the next.

But yeah, this assumes you keep pumping ungodly hours into it or pay someone else for making that progress for you. If not, your wipes are harmless.
