The fact that you can pay for something doesn't mean it can't be free. If you get a free XBox, do you expect to get all the accessories for free as well?
And you seem to be saying that free time is.. worthless. The fact that it doesn't translate directly into money doesn't mean you wouldn't be willing to spend money to make more of it. Some people have more money than time, and some people have more time than money. Why are the ones with more time on their hands supposed to be privileged?
KaVir, you're reducing me to quoting myself at this point. Not a good sign.

Define 'fully'. There are features on all online games that I won't immediately have access to. I know I won't get to try out remort races unless I invest a considerable amount of time levelling a character to max. To play an IRE game fully, you need what you have to have for every other MUD out there - a commodity to invest, be it time or money. That cash can be invested in your character by someone else in exchange for your money. Credits aren't free by definition, that doesn't mean you can't get them for things other than money from other players. And if we consider that PvP might not actually be your thing, then things are put into a whole different light.

Nobody said credits are free. They're perks - you don't need them to play the game and enjoy it. You need them if you want to compete at the highest levels of PvP, which is optional. PvP is actualy very fun at the medium and lower levels too. Even then, I reiterate, you CAN get them in the game. No, they're not free ultimately, but you can get them for IG currency from other players.
Not many players get all skills, because most skills are optional. The base-line is the three guild skills, which means that while they're going to take a while to master, aren't quite worth 3000 dollars. You can infact do pretty well with just one or two guild skills in some guilds.
