I am amazed at people who, no matter how much you give them for free, are still upset that they are not getting even more for free.
And sorry, but I do not know what games you play, but free to play almost always implies limitations of some kind. That is the whole business model behind free to play. Get people to pay.
The only difference between Ryzom and a lot of true F2P games is that Ryzom doesn't trick you into thousands of micro payments, which often accumulate to more than a monthly fee would cost, that give any paying customer subtle but obvious advantages. Ryzom is clearly stating the limits of free accounts and doesn't suggest a false equality between free and paying customers. And paying in Ryzom doesn't help you advance faster, or be better than others with less work.
And finally, you might want to check out the Concept section of the Wikipedia entry of Free-to-play, especially the very first sentence.
Cheers
