Huh? It couldn't be any more clear. Anyone with even the most tenuous grasp on reality is going to know the money has to come from somewhere. And even the most feeble-minded of these should be able to quickly deduce that there is probably some sort of pay-for-premium-access, pay-for-extras, and/or pay-for-reduced-time-expenditures scheme involved. If they choose to play such a game on the cheap, they should, if they have any sense at all, be fully aware that their fellow players who are coughing up the cash probably have some extra game content or alternative avenues for advancement available to them. That all seems quite fair to me.
Interestingly enough, in games like Achaea and Threshold (which has a different model, but which does provide more goodies for higher character registration levels), this is effectively what the paying player's "fellow athletes" have done. Granted, in both of these cases I think it is quite easy to demonstrate that the head start is nowhere near the 90m mark. But the fact that non-paying or low-paying players continue to support both of these games suggests that many of them probably do not accept your assertion that "consistent, fair, and challenging game-play is a secondary concern of the game owners."
Now, to bring things back on topic: yeah, people who insist on reviewing games that don't allow reviews on this website are bad and should be spanked. Or something.
