I didnt read everything in that huge wall of text but after reading a little, I noticed that your definition of pay2win is flawed. If paying a specific amount of money can give you an unfair advantage over others in a game then that game is a pay2win game. If a game offers it's players to make a simple payment that can increase the quality of your gaming experience and at the same time, decrease the quality of other players' gaming experience then it is a pay2win game.

Switching to a weapon that can kill anyone within a second or two is not a strategy, it's more of a noob move.

You know what pisses me off the most? People saying that the cash/gold weapons and the paid op weapons are equally powerful. That's pure BS. Every cash and gold weapon has limits. The zap gun has no auto aim unlike the proton gun which is a HUGE disadvantage, it has damage drop off, and takes 4-5 seconds to kill given that your accuracy is good. To use revolver and similar weapons, you need to get close to your opponent, avoid his attacks, move from cover to cover, wear proper combination of agility, accuracy and health enhancing gear. This requires a lot of skill and strategy onthe Iother hand Super OP paid weapons don't require any of this. To use those weapons all you need is a little bit of common sense. Yeah, you need only common sense to use such op weapons, not skills.

I have played using the ram and i have completed the salute our troops event on my friend's profile and during the whole event my kill to death ratio was 18:2 I only used spotter and only track down those who were using the stealth gadget with the the full cyber ninja equipment. (I have screenshots if you want proof)

And what's the point of playing the game if you are required (or I'd rather say forced) to use your best weapon and lots of gadgets just because of some noob with a paid OP weapon in is the same match with you. No one takes ffa matches seriously, I don't even take events seriously (because i know that the final prize is gonna be a sh*tty one) I play for only one reason, TO HAVE FUN but as i said before, you can not have fun while playing any match if one of those noobs with the ram (or any other similar weapon) is present in your match.

Battle ram will get nerfed like the cricket but that doesn't mean that the "weapon is not going to help you in the future." Until it gets nerfed it will remain the most powerful weapon in the game. </div Even the Battle Ram doesn't make the game Pay To Win, or at least it did until now. Sure, people keep using it but it doesn't mean that by buying that weapon you will instantly win. Someone who immediately buys the weapon is not going to be winning all his matches, people adapt. People adapt by studying the threat and then after a while proceeed to tackle that threat with a force which is equal or somewhat equal for the time being. So in this case, the Battle Ram seems OP for a time but slowly becomes insignificant after a while. Look at the Shockwave Launcher, it was OP during the Earth Day event, but now people don't seem to use it. This will happen with the Battle Ram as well. And if someone uses the Battle Ram it is not an unfair advantage. If they use the Thumper it is not an unfair advantage as people will adapt to it. Sure it will annoy some players but they will find out how to combat the threat or in this case the particular weapon or armour that is annoying them. Respawnables as you can see does not stay Pay To Win for long, because with each new game the player learns of a solution to deal with the said weapon or armour.
