An actual P2W wouldn't even have that possibility.
No, there likely won't come a time when a free player can beat out waterfk's team, but with enough time and grinding, they'll reach a point where it won't matter anyway, because the freebies everyone gets is enough on its own.
What IS actual P2W?
-Ranking events (Pero, Osawari).
-Gacha boosters for limited-time events that, as the name states, boost progression faster if you have them (Pero/Osawari again).
-Gacha-exclusive items that give the owner significant advantages and can only be gotten with cash (literally any MMO, ever).
-Impossibly long (or short) time windows that necessitate the use of recharges to complete (most western mobile games, Pussy Saga; Aigis would be this if not for revivals)
None of those are in FKG.
What's also not P2W are cosmetics. For example, there's an achievement in Overwatch for getting 50 unlockables for a character. There's 23 characters and 60-65 unlockables per character, and lootboxes only give four items at a time, including dupes. Obviously, it'll take some time or some extreme amount of luck to get the unlockables for one specific character. But because there's no competition, nor actual benefit over free players to getting unlockables, the only other factor is grinding and time.
