I wouldnt find Blade and Soul much different, as all Korean mmorpg especially are PTW.
Arena is actually pretty not p2w (outside of HM skills, which they're addressing IIRC in an upcoming patch). If you want to play BNS just for 1v1 PVP, it's not bad (miles above this game, for instance).

The PVE is enjoyable but definitely p2w if you don't no-life or get into a good guild willing to carry you to better gear from where you start out.
