You're basically taking without giving anything back. I won't call it stealing because it's not, but it's consuming resources without putting anything back into the system.

I'm sure that as long as they catch some unlucky prey in their trap who spends thousands of dollars just to get 1 character, they don't mind me playing for free

It's obvious you're trying to be disingenuous, but on the off chance you're being serious...

They designed the model with that in mind. A large majority are expected to not pay in because they're more interested in having a large player base (as F2P is usually multiplayer games) because a small percentage support the game through a cosmetic microtransaction model.

If this model is more successful than a typical buy to play model, they don't care how many people "get away for free." It helps them by building a more popular, successful platform. This makes their cosmetics more appealing to the playerbase that cares about this and are willing to pay for it.
