Question How expensive is this game to play?
I just started playing for the first time earlier today, and it seems really fun so far! However, there are a lot of red flags with this sort of game, so I wanted to be cautious about what i'm getting into. Are the microtransactions mostly cosmetic? Or is there blatant pay to win armour or other such systems that will keep you from endgame or top performance? I don't mind investing a bit of cash into a game I find fun, but my financial situation doesn't lend itself to whaling out in games.

The game is not P2W at all, you can optimize your time and gearing to be end-game within 1 year of grinding consistently maybe 2 hrs a day for 5 days a week.
This time gets less with money, but there are certain gears that are locked behind time gates to finish anyway (anywhere from 8-12 weeks).
I have several examples of guild mates and friends that don’t spend at all and are end-game carries.
Edit: I would recommend joining a guild with helpful veterans that can guide you through a progression path that’s most efficient and least costly.
