No, they don't, people play paying MMOs for 2 reason, apart from the quality of the game of course, and these are, better community than f2p games, and no pay-walls to have things others have, vanity or not.

The more threads the better, it just shows how disgusted people is about this cash-shop thing, may be SE will listen to us at once.

And if someone wants to "support" the game with extra money, they can ask SE for an account number to make donations.
