There is no Pay2Win because what you think is the "F2P" part of the game is not a "Free2Play" but "Play2Test".
The original, and still actual, concept is to allow players to test the game for free up to 125.
I dont' think the dev want to promote playing the game without subscribing for several months.
It cost bandwith for no gain. A real "F2P" game always have a shop, there is no shop on Atys only a subscription.
If you want to test the game before subscribing, test it.
If you want to really play the game, pay each month.
If you want to play the game with the free part like if you were a paying subscriber, you are not on the right game.
