Yeah and players spend dollars to get Mythic, Legendary or Xathenos so on, they also get them quicker.
And according to your P2W definition both your example and mine seem wrong as this part normal players don’t have access is not satisfy: get them quicker doesn’t mean make it available.
As said, before I don’t deny that the Leaderboard is P2W but I don’t think so about the Guild Reward system. The main difference between them is the amount of gems required: for the Guild stuff, you can do it with the free gems of the week. For the Leaderboard, it seems difficult to compete with only free gems…
And I just remind that Raid Boss and Invasion are totally optional. It’s not the core mode of the game.
You should know this post from Sirrian which is not a 1 year and half old one…
About your quotation, I already comment about that. Maybe it’s time for them to focus on making money…
