TBH anyone who calls Diablo anything an RPG and not a Hack & Slash really does not understand the term RPG.

It's all about definition.

RPG's: Role Playing Games, meaning you have to act out a role for the game to classify as one and that means making choices. Diablo games do not give you the choice to do anything but slaughter your enemies. The fact that you can choose different ways / classes might be grounds to call it like an RPG but it's really not enough. Tho it is enough to be grounds for debate I suppose.

P2W however, is a clear definition. If you can get ahead of someone else by spending real money then it's P2W, simple. With this term there is absolutely no grey area. A game either is or is not P2W. FKG is and anyone who says it is not is simply wrong.
