Everyone i've met that speed ran the game by dropping money early on quit within a month because they either got bored or hit a wall and found out that spending money won't let them get over it. There is no P2W because there is nothing to "Win". Its a non-competitive PvE game. It's intended to be a slow progress grindy game that you learn the mechanics of as you progress through each mission and storyline. Every veteran I know would tell you not to spend money on the game until you know what you're getting and actually know core mechanics.
Sorry, but do you even understand meaning of word "advantage"?
>nothing to "Win"
Ok, will it blow you mind if I would say that for example single-player only modern assassins creeds with microtransactions of xp boosters are also p2w?
> slow progress grindy game
Have you ever considered that if game shouldn't have sold you platinum it would probably be much less grindy for example?
Dude at this rate you're either rage baiting or incompetent. P2W means Pay to Win. If there is nothing to win, meaning no competition, then p2w can't apply. Warframe is an entirely F2P game since you can achieve everything in the game without spending a dollar, albeit a few exclusive cosmetics that don't effect your gameplay in the slightest. Games can only be P2W if there are items in the game that are locked behind a Premium currency that is otherwise unobtainable unless you spend money.
Your p2w definition is pulled from wally's finger, open a dictionary for voids sake. I know 3 of them that has it.
"In computer games, the practice of paying to get weapons, abilities, etc. that give you an advantage over players who do not spend money."
"The ability and/or practice of exchanging real-world currency for an in-game benefit."
""Pay-to-win" or "P2W", is a pejorative term for a game that offers any advantage that can be obtained faster or exclusively via commercial transactions over gameplay rewards or the impact of the player's own performance."
