You've never played an MMO have you? Sorry but you are not just paying to play online. That really would be silly.
I paid for EQ,WoW, Galaxies and many others. Why? Because the amount of content and free updates was worth it. These are not games that you beat in 8 hours and are done with. With EQ for example(things have changed now) it could take you a year to max level and there was so much content in the game it would take you a week just to walk around every zone to see what it had to offer. WoW had free content patches all the time and they were constantly working to improve every aspect of the game and release weekly updates. How many 8 hour games do that?
People like to bring up free to play mmos but those do not exist. Sorry but I have yet to see a F2P mmo that offered free players access to every aspect of the game. Even Rift which is free to play now(I have 1329 hours in game as of today) requires you to buy things in order to access the auction house or play certain souls for your class.
