F2P players get lets say 1/5 of the game for free, they get 15 of the 24 skills there are, 18 of the who knows how many quests, access to some of the many armors/weapons there are in the game. So it would seem to me that they get quite alot for their $0.00 payment. I have been both a f2p and p2p member of runescape, and it seems to me that if you want to have all the extra pixels, flashy spells, new areas, ect. then pay your $5.00 and get it. If your content with the content you recieve paying $0.00 then accept it and play the game for fun.
