New weapons for money isn't even what Pay to Win is (Destiny)

Nevermind the fact that even in D1 you could match with people that had weapons from the expansions even if you didn't have them, the concept of pay to win is not getting new gear or weapons for money, it's getting an actual quantifiable advantage against players who didn't pay. If you play in Quickplay against someone who has the expansion when you don't their guns and armor are still balanced against your guns and armor. It's still a level playing field.

The actual examples of pay to win are stuff like the weapons you get in an expansion are actually more powerful than the previous guns. The worst pay to win games even let you buy stuff like damage buffs for money.
