This game has always been play to win but it was so fun that I played it regularly for 2 years. But do not waste your time with this game. Even if you are willing grind for months you can't come close to pay to win players. The rewards and resources given are so scarce that paying for them becomes the only option. There are countless types of currency in this game. Each item has its own currency you need to upgrade which as you might have guessed very very rare unless you are willing to pay.
