Free players are necessary because they serve as food for the paid players. Free players make paid players feel strong which motivates them to spend more money. If all free players disappeared, the lowest tier spenders will become the new "free players". Being so weak they will lose the motivation to spend money which causes them to leave. Then the next tier of spenders will become the new weakest link and they'll begin to leave. Eventually only the highest spenders will remain. They'll no longer feel strong since this game is all relative. They'll get bored and eventually leave too. Whole system collapses.

The reason why free players might not leave the game to begin with is because they don't spend money on this game. They mostly play in a leisurely and carefree manner so they don't mind getting beat up by the spenders. Spenders on the other hand spend to win. If their spending is getting them nowhere, they will stop spending.

Free players are the foundation of this game.
