Game Front just did something of a review (there is so many bugs, reviewers are having problems even playing it enough to be able to do the actual review).

But they were really spot on with their opinions. It was a very good review of the problems X Rebirth is having.

"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."

So your definition is off. And yes, it is a long way off until release. But since it is clearly stated on their website, that is what I will go off of. Until they officially change it. Skill does have something to do with it, but it does not change that paying real cash will give you an advantage over someone that has played the same amount of time.

You give no facts. How am I wrong? Just because they do not allow you buy an uber weapon that no one can get in game, does not exclude it from being pay to win. Hardly any game does that, so if that is the only way it is pay to win, then your definition is way off.

It is very clearly stated on their website. Again, you give no facts and just sound like a fanboy.

"But the cardinal rule regarding in-game purchases is: Players who spend money purchasing in-game credits will have no advantage over players who spend time!"

Yes, he says you can buy credits. They are trying to say that you will have no advantage over someone that plays more hours than you do. So my point still stands. If two people play the same amount of time, one can spend real money and get an advantage. He would pay to win.

I like the game and plan on buying it, but it is pay to win. If two people play the same amount of time and one of those people buys credits with real money, that person has the advantage. That is the very idea of pay to win. You get an advantage over someone else by paying real money. Now, is it as bad as a game that you can buy a weapon that only real world money can buy and that is much stronger than anything else in the game? No it is not. But hardly any game goes that far. 

The only way it would not be pay to win would be if everything you bought was cosmetic only (like GW2 or WOW). That is not the case. You can buy in game money that can buy you anything you want.
