is it really that p2w? it seems like the best mmo ive ever played but fuck if i cant get it without paying cash i dont wanna get hooked

no its not ,

the pearl items are more a luxury , the moment they implemented that u can sell certain pearl items people started shouting pay 2 win pay 2 win because u can buy ingame stuff & sell it for silver
eventually it turned out the prices for pearl items in the market were pretty low (+- 30 euro costume is 24 mill silver , u can grind 15-17 mill silver / hour if u have some decent gear)

sweet deal, i may be mistaken but it says u can buy currency or w/e on bdo site?

Uhm u can buy pearls (its a currency u buy trough rl money)
The items u can buy with them are outfits & inventory space & more weight limit , pets that Pick up your loot these items give u a small advantage but its more an advantage that lazy ppl can use
U can perfectly spent 0 dollars / euro's & still be better then ppl who spent 1000 + besides that u can buy the "p2w" items (i call it like this because as u mentioned lot of ppl scream p2w) of the marketplace for ingame silver because they are not even expensive
10 euro pet costs 5 Mill silver & even a noob that plays 1 week can easy get 5 Mill altho it Will take awhile that u can buy it with silver because a lot of ppl camp the market for those items
