If they can't pay $5, they're just an overhead loss to the business anyway.
If they can't pay $5, then they'll never pay for the game.
If everyone who didnt coin left the game your server would be much less populated than it already is Herby. Servers would be ghosttowns. Coiners need F2P players and F2P players need coiners, thats how it works. You pay for perks and advantages while the F2P players have to grind and work their asses off to stay slightly competative. If you want to throw your wallet at a game that relies on chance more than skill be my guest, id rather spend my money on a game that relies on skill to get ahead.
Maybe when Tynon get a support team that is actually worthy of that name, and fixes the plethora of bugs and problems ill consider sponsoring them, untill then, ill be an overhead loss

There are also examples of subscription based games that have gone f2p and have seen their turnover and profits skyrocket. Fact is f2p games generate much more income and thus are dependant on the f2p players, economically speaking.
There are also examples of subscription based games that have gone to micro-transaction based play, is what I think you meant to say.
No matter what side of the argument you are the game needs F2P players.
No, What i said is exactly what i meant. If youre curious to know which MMO im talking about ill send a pm
