I just wasted my time watching that video. The video mentions stuff thats not in the western version (yet?). Then tops it off with buying gear off the auction house that isnt even being done yet for people that are starting late. Then to top it off, that gear isnt even tradeable in the western version. I'm legit trying to not defend the game and Im waiting to see how someone gets ahead in the game but nothing is even coming up that makes sense. This argument is just so tiring. Especially since pulling out your wallet in these hypothetical situations just rushes you to end game and then you're doing... what? What is the actual point in doing that in PVE?
PVP is fully equalized. PVE challenging content (ex: legion raids) is equalized. Spending money in the cash shop (e.g. blowing 50 grand on Gold to +20 your gear instead of keeping it at +15 like a normal person does provide you an advantage in things like island GVG content. Which is negated by the fact that the rewards are given for multiple placing on those islands (and other stuff) but I guess you'll feel really powerful on those islands once every few days?
The ability to buy gold does allow for quicker progression though at the later part of the game (he's not wrong there). This is because the gold cost of upgrading your gear, alongside buying engravings and gems is massive. Of course, what's not being mentioned is that this 'faster' progression is pretty meaningless in light of the equalized content for shit that matters (which provides the best gear that you want) alongside a million other things but that would defeat the narrative of ASIAN GAME BAD OBVIOUSLY P2W.
