Every MMO is a business and you must see it as a business in the first place. Each and every business is created to 1) make profit and 2) provide customers with whatever it can provide them. No business can run for years on mere "thank you :)) " unless it is a non-profit organisation with investors backing it up but then we cannot call it a business anymore.
Now, Papaya LT will have its own currency that will most likely be called "LTC" (LaTale Currency; similarly to BackShot Currency "BSC" and Dekaron "DKC").
The issue does not lie in the fact they have "astros" but in how far will they take it. Will they milk players for money? Will they push for p2w as bad as OGP did? Only time will tell.
Personally, if the company proves to be good and gives a good care of my favorite game - I will gladly spend some money on it to help it run longer.
