I think before answering this question (whether Gwent a pay-to-win Game or not) we should remind one important thing - the balance between spending time and paying money.
Look, what I mean.
We usually(in games) have 2 resources - real money and game money. So for people who have much free time(or spend much time by playing it) it is not a problem to earn a lot of game money and won't spend the real one. But for those who have not much time or don't want to spend a lot of it etc. more preferable way is to spend their real money and save some time.
Now we come to the point of balance. As far as I can understand per day we can get rewards only for 3 lvl ups and for 8 winning games.
So what d'you think whether it is enough or not for free-to-play card game?
You see people who spent more time and get higher lvls will play with others who can have much better cards.
Eg. one player play just 1 hour per day, get 3 lvl ups and 8 wins. 30 days later he'll be 90 lvl and get, well, let it be 90 kegs
Another play will go this way from 1 lvl to 90 for, well, 7 days(he will have A LOT OF FREE time) and get only 30(or less) kegs as a rewad.
Is it a right situation?
I think the situation is not right. Those people who spent more time should have more rewards. Want to get more rewards? Play more or spent real money. It's ok and I'm sure a lot of people will donate. Maybe not 50$ per month, but atleast 10-15$ per month - why not?
Nowdays the situation is - you enter the game - make 8 wins and get 3 lvl ups - the game is over for you for today, cause if you will go on playing next week or month you'll be higher lvl then people of your time, You will have to play against people who didn't hurry up, that's why they have more cards and better decks and you'll lose them again and again and the reason of your losing will be not your skill but cards and you may even stop playing GWENT cause the sistem of rewards is not fair.
People who play more should get more rewards, I think. Cause if in this game will play only those who always donate they will not have opponents or will wait for an opponent for atleast 20-30 minutes.
What do you think, guys?
