Playing without plat even worth it?

[Congeniality]

I'm fairly new to the game and really enjoy it, I've completed some free plat offers and such but I'm level 45 Mage and I'm starting to wonder if playing without the ability to actually purchase plat will be worth it in the end? I see people in the forums who spend thousands of plat on their character and I know I'm not going to be able to do the same.... Has anyone reached the cap level without spending their own money on in game currency? And one more question for anyone who can answer please, what is farming and where is it? Thanks for your time and consideration!

I have been at the level cap for years and do NOT spend my money on plat. Here is a youtube channel that goes over farming stuff ! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCke...I6hggAUf7oW1Sw
