About money, I still remember when they asked daddy SE some to make a continuation to CGI scene for raids and got warning that they shouldn't do it again. Or how Yoshi begged for new servers, heh, you can see the pattern here. But hey, they doing cheaper RP and crafting stuff, people are happy, so why SE should bother to invest more into game.
