Stop the whining
Well, a company is a for-profit organization. It has to pay its employees, and it actually pays money to get a license for running a game, not to mention its servers costing money and running off on electricity that is not for-free. You are free to play games run by the Red Cross or NGOs for free - go and enjoy them. Can't find any? Well, then invest a couple million yourself and write it off as 100% loss allowing everyone to play for-free what you have paid for. Or you may agree to have your employer pay you nothing for your work, because he sees your work as a free-to-play thing, since it benefits him to view it this way. Stop expecting people to be complete morons just because you want to consume without paying for it. Free lunch still does not exist in nature. You paid for your PC. And you pay for electricity during your gaming hours. Why don't you complain about the PC retailer and the electricity company not giving you nice enough monthly events for free?
About events giving you a chance to get rewards that are *old*, you cannot have it both ways - either people starting now get cut off from all content that was available two years ago, or they get a good chance of getting it too. I have bought plenty of books last year, I see no danger to me by new people buying them this year - actually allowing them to do it makes the author get more money so he keeps on writing. I do not have to keep buying the same book over and over again. It is the same logic for this game - money spent in the past does not continue generating revenue; new spending does that. Therefore, new players are given an opportunity to spend. Old players can spend on things they have not had the opportunity to buy in the past for whatever reason or spend on new things. It is a good thing they can do this. You think certain prices in game are too high? Do not buy then. Those who do not see them as too high will buy. If nobody is buying an item, or way too few people buy it, its price will drop. It is the simple logic of demand and supply. Now, just as not everyone can afford to buy a yacht or a private jet in real life, not everybody can afford to buy all items in this game. Belt up and get over it. It is not the fault of people with money that they can spend where you cannot - make money and spend it as you see fit. Their money is theirs to spend.
You want a game that is totally free-to-play? Write one, or pay someone to write one, or buy the source code and distribute it for free. Nobody is really preventing you from doing this in any way. If you spend stupidly, it is not the seller's fault, your own stupidity is at fault, so grow some brains and use it.
