Pay to win! Wooooo!

Seriously, meh. It's fine in Mass Effect as it is not competitive, but this is one of the many reasons why I haven't played Ultimate Team

how is P2W if you can have exactly the same outcome grinding.... the essence of P2W is that only if you spit cash you can access to the highest/best content or final stage of a game.... his is not the case.....

that is not the essence of pay-to-win.  that essence of pay-to-win is you can pay money to gain competitve advantage.  this includes exclusive access to in-game items as well as simply faster access to in-game items than grinding.  in short -- if the balance of the game is thrown off so that those willing to pay money have any competitive advantage then the game is pay-to-win.
