I think people typically speak about what's ideal. 
 
If you want an easy, breezy experience and access to high-level raiding/tanking, then yeah it's going to cost a bit to play at that level. 
 
But that doesn't mean it's required. 
 
People will say "You need 100,000 plat to invest in a warrior". 
 
No you don't. Get out of here, elitist SCUM! (kicks guy into hole) 
 
Just play what you like, man. 
 
I mained a Rogue. I didn't twink him - I didn't start a Druid first. 
 
I actually DID my Epic, rather than pay for it like these silver spoon daddy's boys out there. 
 
You'll appreciate your accomplishments more too.
