Worried about Embers

Super hyped about Ashes after seeing it on Asmon's yt, signed up but then noticed Embers, it says no P2W but after having a good look around I can't actually see what embers can buy you.

Obviously giving the game the benefit of the doubt for now but after being burnt with so many other games saying no p2w, then after some time it is p2w I think us newbies to the game need some reassurance about Embers.

Any post anywhere where it lays out exactly what can be bought with embers, and what the future plan for the ember system is?

What I don't like is the conversion rate, and being forced to do math to figure out the true cost of an item. It feels predatory.

The Shop is purely cosmetic. And I dont know how reassuring it will be to you but Steven was an avid Archage player and he has openly talked about how bad that game became after they added Rare materials to their cash shop. So the creator of this game has had first hand experience with the damage it does when adding P2W

From my understanding Embers will be used to buy cosmetics when the game is out. With that said, I do understand where you come from when you say you are wary about games claiming to have no p2w, just to turn around and become p2w. While many of us including me believe Steven and Intrepid when they say AoC is not going to have any p2w mechanics, its always wise to be wary of it, especially in the MMO field.
