Naoki Yoshida's Comment in Regard to Jump Potions/Boost Potions

[Neophyte]

The purchase of something, using RL currency, to obtain some form of advantage over someone who is not making such a purchase. That something could be an in game currency of some sort, or something else for use in game.

Retainers are "Rent to Win" because they confer an advantage over someone who does not have them. This jump potion is Pay to Win because it confers an advantage over someone else starting and not buying it.

I'm sure you have specific examples of more egregious Pay to Win in mind, but those examples do not diminish the Pay to Win nature of the jump potion revealed in the first post here.

That's basically saying that all sport are pay-to-win, 'cause when you're rich you can buy better equipment or have better training grounds.
Well, some of them would be, if there were no rules against doping or regulations on specifications of sport gear... but see, it depends on what you can use your money for.
If I would generalize in this example as you do, this would mean that even the possibility to have a better hotel than your opponents (so you are more relaxed) before a sport contest would make that contest pay to win.

"Games that let you buy better gear or allow you to make better items then everyone else at a faster rate and then makes the game largely unbalanced even for people who have skill in the game without paying."
