The real story is why humanitarian aid is not being allowed by land. To me, this seems to violate my sense of fair play and lacks basic decency. And bombing civilian targets. The civilians are, on the majority, not responsible for the circumstances they now find themselves in and don't deserve death. The pier is a decoy to move visibility away from two US presidents that won't stop it.
It's definitely not pay to win because you can unlock all the gear you want, if you don't know how to use it you won't be winning much. Ironically, it's those who grind for the unlocks that develop the skills needed to win consistently. Therefore in my mind it's Play to Win and the transactional elements are just a side hustle to capitalise on those who like to spend money rather than develop skill.
