No, sure there are extra perks that would be nice to have without having to pay for, but not necessary to be able to play to win. Of course any game that offers extras for a price will always seem like a "pay2win" kind of a game. The people doing all the background work writing code, maintaining servers, customer service, etc.... are part of a business so it's not a surprise they would offer some enticements to perk the game in order to produce income. As long as no pandering to strictly paying players only I'm ok with there being these "extra enhancements". If the was a true "pay2win" there would be no free part, we would have to completely pay to sign up, to log in, etc.... As long as you know how to play the game, you can win without having to pay.
