This all depends on how F2P is setup. How MMOs have generally set it up yes F2P is kinda ridiculous.
How F2P can work well? League of Legends. That system is brilliant. Yes the system can't be cut and pasted into EQN but it can be done similarly.
Look up Extra Credit's videos, they explain what to do and not to do in F2P quite well.

LoL and moba games in general are designed to facilitate new champs coming out every month, in fact it's a key feature and the only thing that keeps the game interesting long term. Skins are just that, skins. I don't hate F2P, and I don't hate the idea of micro transactions, but the way they are implemented...especially in MMORPGs.
"Cosmetic" items usually turn out to not be purely cosmetic, and it creates situations where if you want to play the high end game, you have to buy stuff from the shop with real cash to get there. This in itself wouldn't be terrible if the amount required to invest was reasonable, ie around the purchase price of the game + subscriptions. But that's not enough for them, they want you to sub, and buy expansions and buy stuff from the store if you really want to experience all the game has to offer. This...I will not do.
