Don't get me wrong, a lot about this looks great, but I hope you enjoy having your discipline insulted by a coercive price model.

How's this? What's going on now is testing for alpha, and none of the stuff we're doing right now is going to translate into the free game. You're paying to play early, not for ingame advantages. The closest thing to an honest advantage you get is the 10% boost to resource gathering, but that's Pay2NotGrind, as you describe it, as all it does is lower the grind requirement.
I am just curious how it is you justify this being called pay to win? In the first point, it's kind of funny that you assign such a model given games like this and Minecraft don't have a winning category (See:

Secondly, the only thing you purchased is early access into a testing alpha, which is no different than the hundreds of other games like that, including Prison Architect, Planetary Annihilation, Rust, etc., the pay2notgrind ring, and a bunch of cosmetic items.
