Warframe is full of MT, but that game can be enjoyed completely without putting in a single dollar. I still think it’s be a better game if it was a $60 product without MTs. Again, that’s assuming enough people would have bought the $60 product to fund the amount of support it currently gets, which I don’t think would have happened at all.

I think Warframe does a fantastic job of balancing microtransactions without making players feel like it's unfair or otherwise pay to win. But it was always designed as a free to play game with very grindy mechanics. If the developers moved away from that model, I think the core mechanics of the game would also need to fundamentally change in a way that would make it feel like a different game entirely.
