I think the point is not that doing "great" things is impossible, but more that it's more difficult if you don't pay. And also, you say talent wins in the end... but if two equally talented people meet up, and one has paid $100 and one has not, I think we all know who is going to win in a combat situation.
Of course the game is not all combat, we are aware. But it is still a factor of the game. That is why PK is allowed in Achaea. You can make a fabulous character and not donate a cent. Of course, you could do that anywhere, and be on equal footing instead of being at a disadvantage.
As to why people keep coming back, no one is saying that Achaea sucks... or well, at least *I* am not. Obviously they like the game. Doesn't mean it's entirely balanced or fair though.
