does an mmorpg need money

atm in every mmorpg i've played you needed money to survive. you needed money to buy mounts, clothes, ores, food, gadgets, pets,skills,...

does a mmorpg realy need this system, or can you make a game where you can earn the same items, skills,... with quests, pve, pvp where all money would be unnessesary, so you don't need to farm money for hours and hours. but instead you can do some pvp or dungeons for hours and hours instead. which looks alot more fun to me.

world of warcraft is getting close with the armors. but you still need tons of gold (money) to get your mount/flying mount etc
