It's a real shame about the predatory monetary model Diablo Immortal has because it's actually a fairly decent game, esp. for one developed for mobile devices. It's pretty much impossible to have a full and satisfying experience with it as it stands now without spending a fuck-tonne of money.

It depends on what you consider a "full and satisfying experience". I enjoy just playing through the storylines and all the updates at a steady pace and I don't care if I don't have all the best gear right now. So, I haven't felt the need to drop money on it. I'd probably feel differently if I was at all interested in the PvP aspect though.

How far can you get without spending? Can you handle end game content?

So the end game is multilayered and progressive. Honestly my biggest sticking points for moving to higher difficulties have all been finding groups for Helliquary bosses. Outside of that though I have been steadily upgrading and getting better gear. You aren't blocked from getting things if you don't pay it just takes longer. Currently I am well overgeared for everything I can/need to do. I'm not sure if my play times are just super off peak, or if the population in my current difficulty is just too low. That's my biggest frustration.
