Good point.
It's not a good point, my aim was to say both sides of that argument are losing ones. Making a judgement based on how people spend money on their hobbies is as pointless as making a judgement based on how people spend time on their hobbies. It's their choice, and it didn't hurt anyone else anyway.
Also to clarify terminology (yet) again: "pay to win" means the _game_ (not other players) sells advantageous items or bonuses through a subscription or cash shop.

In the end it is just the result that matters in this case. "Pay to win" might not be directly usable as a terminology following the given definition, tho the allowing of external payments from official side (--> rules) creates a similar effect, ceasing with some players getting advantages through cash payments. And therefore we can simply call this p2w as well (or at least compare it with a true p2w system

You literally contradicted yourself in the span of two sentences.

GG. On a side note. Another serious issue right now is that things are impossible to craft as materials don't really drop at all except in end waves of rag, HM is near impossible to find. There is not really a healthy economy to speak of anyways, trading is at a standstill with mats. Shame they don't drop anymore.

I was mainly refering to the phrase "pay to win" rather then the terminology. Neither do I really care too much about people acquiring items for a currency other then the NordInvasion gold currency. I just rather see people play the actual game and knowing how their equipment works then the headless chickens running on a server and then still complain about their armours being too weak, dispite having their hands on the best possible items in-game. I just love making fun of people that spend an legitimate currency to get NordInvasion items. Now we can discus spending legitimate cash on other "pay to win" games and pointing out wheter that's bad or not, but that will push this thread off-topic
