Don't worry guys, the title is bait.
Honestly though, a lot of people seem to have this misconception that WarFrame is pay to win, it seems to be the only argument brought up a lot of the time, which begs the question.
Do those that spout this nonsense actually play the game? Or did they see other users say it and followed suit like a sheep?
If you are interested in learning the facts, WarFrame is not pay to win. WarFrame is unique, in that although you can pay real money for the premium currency and use that to buy guns and frames, you can get that currency for free at any point, not to mention everything bar a few cosmetics can gained ingame for free. It gives the impression that to a new player who has neither time nor energy to learn the game, that they will ultimately have to pay to, well, win. I have no issue with you or someone else to put some money in the game, it's free and it's a good game. But paying any money in this game does have some downfalls. It removes a portion of the grind depending on what you purchase, this is crucial as a lot of WarFrames way of acquiring guns and frames is to grind for materials or blueprints, and buying a frame may remove several days off of your overall play time.
Don't get me wrong though, if you want to spend money, go ahead. I'm just outlining how WarFrame does [u]not[/u] fall under the malpractice of pay to win.
If you want to have a sensible debate about this in down below go ahead, just be aware that spouting "muh pay to win" or "muh destiny is better" will probably be looked down on as being imbecilic.
G'day folks.

Lets get some debates going! But seriously don't say any shit like "muh destiny is better" like some already have, it's just stupid, try and find points to support or destroy mine and others points.
Edit: someone was adamant that because I didn't mention the grind that my point is invalid essentially. So here:
WarFrame has a grind, a large grind that is much higher than Destinys or most other games. This constitutes to its difficulty. But the grind isn't so much that you have to spend money. If you can't handle the grind without spending money I would recommend you uninstall the game as you clearly do not have the time nor energy to play the game.
Actually, I shouldn't need to mention the grind because those that read this should already be knowledgeable about the game and therefore the grind. If you don't know about these then you really shouldn't be commenting on this as you don't know much about the game or haven't played enough to form an educated opinion.
The grinds big, yes. Bigger than Destinys, bigger than Destiny 2. But not impossible. Try just putting a bit of work into the game.
Or maybe grinding games just aren't your forte. At which point you probably have a biased opinion

Warframe is a great game once you get into it. Its not the easiest of games to learn, but that's because there is so much to it. I have over 200 hours in it and I have 14 frames. 2 prime. Thats not even half way to get all frames. I still have weapons to get yet and now getting into collecting prime and riven mods. Pretty soon the new open world update drops for consoles and there will be even more things added. Weapons, mods, crafting and even fishing (weird). One thing Bungie can learn from DE is communication. Every month DE big honchos sit down with their community manager and talks about the good, bad and the ugly. They acknowledge their mess ups and also acknowledges their fans as being the most important thing to them next to their game. You don't have to like everything they are doing, but at least they give you explanations for why they are doing it, good or bad. As far as I'm concerned, DE gets my respect as a good developer with great fan community. Something Bungie needs to take notice.
