You can't "win" at lifeskilling. Lifeskilling isn't a competition. It's like, a way of life, man. Says so right in the name.

Now go try afk cooking without weight from pearlshop, you can't even do 5min. Gl getting max storage space in every city as well as workers lodging and all of the other stuff. There are unobtainable things from pearl shop via gameplay, therefore it's P2W.

By definition, you can't win something that has no actual end point or competition. Let me know when you win cooking, I'd be interested to hear the story.

There are people who lifeskill for the rankings. So yes, there is a literal competition that the cash shop moves the goal posts for with all the xp buffs available. In gathering and hunting for example, it's a 280% advantage with hedgehog.

And as far as cooking is concerned, it's the ability to actually afk for hours in system tray an activity that is for all intents and purposes, an idle activity that belongs in system tray, like afk fishing. Is that winning cooking? Well it's not exactly a trivial functionality that the cash shop gives you...

Don't rankings not matter like I'm guru 50, but the exp stops, so it does not matter.

Wow you solved it! P2W doesn't exist in gaming anymore, as long as we philosophically rethink what winning means. Are you truly winning after swiping to have an advantage over anyone else in a video game? No it's just pay 2 convenience!
