Its not even "F2P" per se. You can not spend a cent, pack an expensive card, sell it for several hundred thousand PP, and while you are still "F2P" you now have the same competitive advantage as people who bought 200k PP.
When it comes to "competitive balance", buying PP is the short cut guaranteed route, but you can still achieve a massive competitive advantage without spending a cent. Thats part of the conversation as well. Its rare, less likely from an odds percentage, but its there for sure to varying degrees. I have not spent a penny on PP, but I have benefited from a massive competitive advantage simply because I packed a 25k PP gold catcher once, sold it, and proceeded to destroy my competition with the competitive advantage gained by spending those PP resulting in 121 wins and a WS. 25K isnt even that much. Imagine if I packed a 400k card or something.
So the conversation, in my opinion, is not solely about money. Its not as simple as "P2W" vs "F2P" because there are other variables as well. Money is just the easy/common factor of separation between the quality of teams.
