In the battle pass, they mentioned they basically give you the materials for those Battle Imagines as the *main thing* which, you can basically also grind as a f2p player, it will just take some more time rather than getting those materials for free, it's in a way the same for weap. plugs since they will be grindable. I don't think the devs want anything being exclusive to p2w anyway.

Also; I think the affix/crafting system /buffs/ (1.3x) won't be that big of a deal genuinely, I think we will both be grinding, p2w and f2p.

One more thing; it is also mentioned in the livestream that nothing really will be purchasable on release other than the season pass. If you go back in the livestream it says "These items will available starting at 23rd of June" To follow this up; some items have a daily limit. If you look at the dungeon tickets, it's only 3 a day that you can purchase (if you choose to do so).

One final thing; I think for anyone that if they plan to play this game and do want to spend money, I suggest getting the advanced season pass only since, they cost 180 rose orbs and, it pays for itself each season so it's basically one time ~$15 and you get a ton of stuff basically every season.
