Precisely! And like someone said, you can still do the weekly. Just takes a bit longer but if you want to do it fast then do it like the rest of us who subscribe.

In the end, for us subscribers, it's not fair if a F2P gets to do as much as for free either.

That is going to make it almost impossible to gain commedations for gear. I hope they reconsider that, not saying they have to make it a high number, but you would think you would want them to experience it frequently to decide if they want to unlock it. 3 Per week is lame if you ask me even for a F2P player.
Its not a matter of getting F2P Players to play WZ's... Its a matter of keeping the WZ's free of idiot 10 year olds in Warzones completely and absolutely doing nothing productive.

competition is so hard now on the MMO market

sadly it seems to have a negative effect on game quality
They will only have to pay if they want to be revived on field, they can return to med center even if they have more thạn 5 deaths.

3 wzs a week is pretty ridiculous, but the effect of keeping f2pers from flooding the wzs and destroying the fun and competition is pretty nice.

You have to monetize the game somewhere or the system will go broke. 3 is a nice, small sample. If someone wants more then they have to pay for it. If someone doesn't enjoy PvP the new system is already fine.

Your post shows me that you really don't understand montization of the free side of a dual access freemium model.

TL;DR..... life is not fair, and neither is MMO monitization.

The entire point of the restrictions is to get people to pay for the content if they like it. F2P is more like a trial than it is an actual free game. It is intended this way. You can pay for the content that you want to do or you can subscribe and get access to all of it.

Not a good policy for a game company to follow. F2P players (which is a misnomer in some respects) are still paying money. In some cases they may actually be paying more than the subscriber who never buys any cartel coins.

I'm saying right now, these Weekly passes are not going to go over well on the F2P players.
