If you are looking to just become a well gear players you should have no problems.īased on the Beta the biggest advantages for paying seem to be Legendary Crests which turn into Legendary Gems via running rifts. They'll claim it was because of 'player feedback' but it will really be how they intended to have it be all along: release it with a system that may target whales and impatient folk to spend big early on to try and maximize easy cash and then relax it a couple months later.I guess this depends on what you mean by competitive? If you are looking to be 'The Immortal' or get 'Server First's' it will likely be very challenging as a F2P only, but keep in mind even if there was no pay option to get some power that would mean you need to blast 18-20hrs a day for multiple days. I also expect Blizzard to adjust things soon with legendary crests and anything else people complain about. I am not saying this is for sure but rather I won't be surprised if it happens.

I could see an issue with the raids though where the paying aspect may eventually come into play and non paying folks will be locked out.

Again, I couldn't care less as long as I can actually still kill the things. If it takes me longer to kill things than someone that has spent a bunch of cash then so be it. I have no interest in pvp and I couldn't care less about leaderboards or being 'the best' because IMO, making it a priority to be 'the best' in a video game (and a mobile game at that) is pretty sad. Unless there is a huge change at 60 with the content after that, I don't see why I would feel the need to spend since I'm able to handle everything I have been up against. I'm at 57 right now and am still mostly enjoying it (starting to get a Lost Ark vibe though) and haven't felt any need to spend on anything.
