Drop rate - is relatively low, and you got bunch of garbage unique equipments by the map bosses and tons of flame shards and dusts while everything in the trade house is valued by flame elementium. The drop rate increases dramatically in the late game, which makes the end game gears inflate in prices.
Crafting also requires tons of elementium, especially when you can revert those changes.
P2W: The pact companions are directly pay to get (you will get ~30 free draws but considering the rate 1.5%...)... Compared to POE where the gameplay is almost unaffected by payments (except the trading stash, but even so it's permanent stash), this is too much p2w. I spent about 1k on poe, but I wont spend a penny here unless they changed the pact system.
Considering this is a mobile game, this is too much grinding.
----------- Update 10/30 -----------
I used my credit card cash back on this, and paid for 100 usd.
I invested the currencies on pact companions. Now my damage is almost doubled (1.86m to 2.88m on panel, and mr.invincible 5.2m to 9.6m).
P2W fact. Wallets never lie!
The only paid aspect is pets, still not game breaking nor needed to remain relevant in game
