How exactly do xp pots make anything pay to win? You guys keep saying that but its simply not true. Pay to win is when I can buy a sword or armor in a cash shop that's more powerful than the one you can get adventuring. Pay to win is when I can buy higher damage spells and clickable items that actually affect something in the game. Giving an XP boost is not pay to win, at beast its pay to get to the cool shit a little faster than you normally would have but its not some game breaking advantage by any stretch of the imagination. Seriously, "omg I maxxed my aa a week faster than I was going to normally". That's literally what you are calling pay to win. you need to re-evaluate your definition of winning.

Yours is a narrow definition used only by people trying to avoid the p2w label. Pay to win properly defined applies to everything with an in game effect (ie not cosmetics like skins) that can be bought using real life currency. It does not need to be the best and it is irrelevant whether or not you can get it other ways. The only relevant question is: can you skip or speed content using real life money in a multplayer game, tilting the playing field? If yes, pay to win.
