Forge Pass CAN be completed Free!
I am seeing a bunch of people leap to conclusions with the Forge Pass and making incorrect and innacurate conclusions:
You need 20 xp for the first level upgrade but thereafter its 10 xp PER level
So you get 20xp per day for dailies meaning you need 25 days to complete the pass.
You also DONT need to buy the Gold upgrade. Elite pass gets their faster, Gold even faster.
Please take care before jumping in and making declarative statements when you dont have the right facts/information
