Real talk - do you have to spend USD to play a server like Europa?

I'll be on Europa karus side, but I'm starting from scratch so I don't think we'll really be playing with one another much xd

Tittle. Im talking about USD in both PUS or from an item seller, disregarding the 5 npoint issue because I have an account for him. I ask because I want to introduce my friend to this game, but of course a newcomer to the game isn't going to want to spend USD. I was thinking of switching servers to Europa and starting from scratch with him but I'm not sure of the Europa market and general situation to make an informed decision.

I know there are a million posts like this and I believe that it is possible to grind levels and gear even without prem, but my major question is: will someone's rate of farming as an individual ever be able to catch up to the rate at which better and better items are introduced into the game and "required" to PvP? (I ask about Europa or other older servers because he wouldn't want to buy prem to play on Midgard if he hasn't played the game before, of couse).

If you need a specific class, we'd probably be playing mages

Depends on what you consider "playing" to be honest. If pvp is the only thing you want to do, then no. If you want to introduce a friend to the game, then yes for sure. Especially right now as it seems the market for europa is getting really cheap (merchant-wise ingame). It feels weird to say this, but leveling up actually can be fun now, especially if you have friends to do it with. You can get to level 75 solo on quests alone, so XP is not that old grind it used to be. It actually is how leveling should be in a game, a little challenge with a lot of quests along the way, not mashing keys for hours on end only to develop self-induced epilepsy.
