I'm not sure if you (and others who make such posts) have actually thought this through. This would not only make f2p mad, it would actually kill the game for f2p.
Losing the (competitive) f2p player base will severely reduce the longevity of this game.
Ask yourself a question, why do you pay for stuff in this game? I'm guessing most would answer 'to get ahead'.
Well let's say f2p quit. Who are you ahead of? Only player base left are the whales and casual players. So everyone has everything the moment it's released or aren't even remotely competitive and likely don't even care about that aspect. Now are you going to hang around in this type of game?
