This game is play to win.

Then the game has been pay to win since its release. Getting more characters than someone else is a paid advantage. Why is that not pay 2 win but the retainers are?

I'd instruct you to read the thread yourself and find a real definition of pay2win before spouting inane crap but it would fall on deaf ears in this case anyway. Good day to you sir.

this game has been pay2win since it went pay2play

since anyone not paying can't play everyone is paying to be better then everyone not.
