Three flashpoints a week? Outrageous. I run that on a new toon in the Esseles instantly. Three warzones a week? I burn them out in about two hours if that. Limiting inventory space and cargo hold space for cartel coins? Sheesh Bioware and EA, you might as well tell players "here is a butchered, neutered trial version of our game for you" and just get rid of the free-to-play notion.
Actually sounds like a decent amount for free the way you put it. If you are speding that much time in the game support it(buy coins or sub).

Its simple really. If you want to keep playing the game, keep subbing.

If your still a subscriber when the game goes F2P, nothing will change for you. The game goes on as it always has before.

I started playing wow again after taking a break I forgot how utterly annoying corpse runs are. SWTOR spoiled me :/ Also, occasionally I have gotten stuck in terrain in ghost form and was forced to go back to the grave yard and start all over.

This doesn't change a thing for us subscribers... Free to play as always been like this in other MMO games that make any amount of money... What the hell did you people expect?

I find the F2P restrictions just fine given that its supposed to be for CASUAL players. And whining about sprint at level 1 disabled? It use to be like level 13.

Whining about 5 rezzes with med probe? Is this your first MMO? Thats a huge luxury option that doesnt even need to be there. WTB naked corpse runs across huge continents please.

The Free to Play limitation are quite mild and as far as I can see all can be purchased. That's exactly how it should work. A Free player can play the game just fine with those restrictions. If you want the first class experience, pay for a sub or buy the licenses.

Free is free - it don't get any better than that, unless they start paying people to play. I'm not sure there is much one can complain about there, sorry.

You get what you play for boys and girls. The game, in some form, will be free.

You have some choices:

1. Play it free, and live with what is given to you for *nothing*.
2. Pay a bit for cartel coins to do some things you want to do, while not paying a monthly sub.
3. Pay for a monthly sub, and get to do all sorts of things.
4. Leave.

OP. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
That which does not kill you merely postpones the inevitable.

Well at least now people can't say having a sub is worthless.
