What does this have to do with BC launch or anyone already playing? Jimmy and Bob obviously both just started playing. Who is having the advantage? That is the point.
Obviously, someone playing for years and has tons of preparation will have an even bigger advantage compared to Jimmy and Bob, but Jimmy still bought an in-game advantage with real money compared to Bob. Your whole logic is complete nonsense.
It's like saying you can't pay to win in one of those shitty mobile games, since there already exists that one guy who unlocked everything already.
