You're giving yourself more credit than you deserve.
If WoW's virtual inflation was the reason why Blizzard bothered with making these changes, they wouldn't have raised the gold acquired through tokens fivefold since the end of WoD, but that somehow eluded your majestic perception.

You seem confused - they are not usingthe incorrect term, the are using the right term, and using it correctly. Its just that some people are so desperate to claim no game they love could possibly be P2W that they hide behind the term "winning". Language, esspecially colloquial usage, is always evolving. Additionally, phrases and colloquial terms should not be broken down into literal definitions of each word, as that rarely refelcts the intended definition.
The "always evolving" part of it is what makes the term useless since everyone uses it differently
I don't call it anything, the term has no meaning since everyone says it means something different.
Just like "toxic" has no meaning
Just like "casual" has no meaning

They have meaning...
Toxic means they were mean to me
Casual means they care or I care less about the game
So because of this everyone will always have a different meaning or level to the word so MMO Champion will be in a constant state of argumemt on what these and other words mean and why they are wrong
Shit we could consolidate the wow gen forum to 3 threads
What is casual/hardcore
What is Toxic
What is Pay to Win
The problem is the word advantage, it doesn't matter how much money I threw at wow atm. My main could not gain an advantage with that money. There isn't power it could buy. So is the game only P2W for some people? Id argue 'advantage' in the P2W definition refers to power that players would not otherwise be able to obtain unless they pay for it whether it be strict power or acquisition rates of something that directly relate to power IE monster summoning scrolls in gacha games.
lol and if the forums were consolidated into those three topics they would never end as people went back and forth on whose meaning is right.
The "what's casual" camp seems to be just two sides: Time vs Content difficulty. Am I a casual if I play wow 15 hours a day every day but only pet battle? What if I only play 6 hours a week but I get CE every tier?

We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.
Just a burned out hardcore raider turned casual.
I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

who cares? It keeps the sub prices down and lets the whales subsidize play for the rest of the population
They all have different meanings for different people and that's why things like "Blizzard needs to stop catering to the casuals" or "Blizzard needs to cut down on Toxicity" isn't such a cut and dry issue.
Hell to answer the hardcore vs casual it's either a complimentary or insulting term to say either they care more about the game than me or they care less about the game than me with context filling in the blanks
nothing like buying full Mythic Sylvanas gear (including the bow) to stomp those dailies right guys? Right gals? R I G H T ? ! ?
Problem is, that hunter in full BIS level gear will get stomped into the ground by the experienced PVPer in a real PVP situation. Relying on gear to bruteforce will not work. That dude gonna be screaming at his monitor and breaking his RGB Keyboard in half when he gets GY camped by a single Ret Paladin with a pocket healy
