I won't pay to win
If there is no grade gap, this will be a good game.

This is going to sound bias, but the P2W in Rivals isn't nearly as bad as it appears on the surface.
It's true that money will make your army stronger and those who open their wallets will breeze through the ranks with less "grinding".
However, so long as the majority of the players aren't these cash whales (and from my experience so far they definitely are not the majority). These P2W players can mostly be ignored. You'll chalk up a few losses to them, but matches are so quick and these whales so few that most of your matches will be balanced.
I haven't spent any money and I've gotten many hours of enjoyment so far.
I’ve gotten tons of play time in the last 3 days since I found the game and also spent money and I still don’t feel behind or ahead of anyone, I spent money because I would like to open as many crates as possible and build my collection up so I can enjoy as much of the game as possible right away.
