RuneScape will never downgrade to a free to play game. Realistically, Treasure Hunter isn't game impacting unless you're spending hundreds or thousands of dollars in keys for xp, even then we don't have the statistics on how many players are actually buying keys at those rates and even then; why should it matter how they spend their money?
DarkScape was F2P for access to all member-typical content so it shows they are willing to play with that model at least.

I don't see the correlation between new players and the assumption they'd invest in MTX. Considering how most games are nowadays, a majority of new generation players probably won't care. Look at WoW for example, you can literally buy your way to level 100, buy tokens for in-game gold, all while its $15 a month to play, on top of having to purchase WoW itself and its expansions. I don't see an outcry in their community.
WoW has no real equivalent to Treasure Hunter at all. There is WoW Coins which are like Bonds, and some cosmetic items maybe 1/10 as many as Solomon Store. The level booster is actually free, it's to encourage new players and give them access to high level content quickly.
