Did I say the new gear was pay to win? I did not. Is it closer to pay to win than the emotes only that were sold at launch? Absolutely

But it isn't though. The gear is lower light than the gear you start with. It was clearly implemented as a cosmetic item. I'm sure they'll add more sets like this, but I really doubt they'll sell gear with actual stats. They wouldn't have introduced this set in the way they did if they intend on making this game pay to win. There have been cosmetic purchases for games for a while now, and I really see no problem with it. Especially when I can still earn the stuff in game... I swear people will find anything to complain about with regards to this game

The point is that is keeps getting closer and closer. I would call the SRL gear cosmetic. This gear is just another step further
-
This gear is no different than the srl gear. Except srl was worse, there were some things you could only get by paying. You can still get everything from the treasures without paying, just not right away.
-
This gear is different than SRL gear because it can be infused and be potentially end game quality. Surely you must see the difference and the direction
-
Some of the srl gear was also infusable. But how does that make it pay to win? You use gear that you had to earn in order to infuse. Making it the same power rating as what you already had. ???

This is a very simple topic. The majority of the community would rather pay for a DLC and earn the gear in it than go this shortcut/microtransaction route. That is the point.

You're literally just reskinning what you already had.
