Yes SE cares about their company image alot more then NCSOFT they will never go f2p. NCSOFT primary model is f2p too.
Unless there is some previously unheard of innovation, F2P basically hinges on balancing between having Cash Shop content that is desirable to purchase, but not game breaking for people who do not buy said content.

Depending on the game type, this can be difficult. Games like LoL & WoT pull it off quite well, but many (most?) F2P MMORPGs often go overboard with extremely potent cash shop items, lottery boxes, and ways to circumvent what would otherwise be impossibly bad RNG.
