As already mentioned P2W is for buying stronger gear or even breaking limits (Say no caps on tomes) but as it is now, I think those who throw it around are just trying to scare people.
As someone else pointed out as an example, if two people buy the game on the same day, and one buys the jump and the other does not .. then the person that bought it has already won all the content that the person that did not has to play through.

How is that NOT Pay To win? The person that bought it gets the stronger gear, higher levels, etc. that the other person does not.

You and I are not relevant to this example. But, lets compare that person to you.

They are spending RL money on a game for an in-game power increase. You did not. Does it really matter if that power increase did not quite bring them to your level?

Nope, because THEY ARE STILL PAYING.
