F2P - 3 Warzones Per Week LOL

Ummm kind of the point of F2P. Free to play doesn't mean you get "everything". You get a little and if you want more then you pay to play. How else are you expecting them to profit from F2P? You do realize they are still looking to profit right? Too many people complainned that 15 dollars a month was too much to afford. Very likely the F2P players could end up spending more than that a month to enjoy what paying subscribers get. F2P maybe the method MMORPG's are going but the reality of it is F2P opens the doors for companys to charge a fee for virtually anything and everything.

Player: "I am a PvPer...I don't do flash points or operations so why should I have to pay for those as part of my month sub?"

BW: "Ok sir we can offer you F2P where you don't have to pay for access to parts of the game you don't want to play."

Player: "Sweet all I want to do is PvP!"

BW: "You can PvP as a F2P player but you are limited to 3 warzones a week."

Player: "What? That's BS why such a low limit?"

BW: "Well you can buy an unlimited weekly PvP pass for only 5 dollars."

Player: "Oh really, ok thats not so bad. Thanks for the info."

BW: *Leans over to talk to operator next to him. "Just got another sucker. $5 dollars a week to play unlimited warzones only LOL." "Comes to $20 a month and they can't even do additonal Flash points or Operations."

BW#2: "Yea but a monthly sub is only $15 dollars why spend more for just PvP access?"

BW: "Why indeed...the old saying theres a sucker born every minute."

While I think three warzones is low I was thinking 3 a day but I mean they are not paying a monthly subscription, if they like the game they will pay for it. They are doing this to boost revenue its that simple. I like warzones and will keep paying, if someone does not have the time to play every single day and want to play for free having limitations to what they can and cannot do is not unreasonable.

3 Warzones a week might be intentional so that F2P players don't realize immediately that PVP in SWTOR suffers from:

1. Premade Problems
2. Gear Gap
3. Class Imbalance
4. Resolve issues

I mean if you lose 3 a week they might not be as apparent as if you lose 30.

There is usually something sinister going on with EA....

My argument to that is...3 warzones can go soooooo poorly that a limit THAT low, is silly. Disconnects, unbalanced teams, vs. pre-mades, with morons...players need a few runs just to have an idea of what they're even expected to do...imagine <50 WZ's after F2P...they'll be a complete disaster!!! 3 per week is too low.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force
My referral code: here What you get: here (1 FREE transfer 7-day FREE sub FREE Jumpstart and Preferred Bundles)

Isn't that the point of F2P? Try and lure them in and hopefully get them hooked so they pay to advance?

Three a week may be a little low but if it was 14+ like some people are asking for I would cancel my sub, as I primarily pvp and only play about 20 games a week, why would I pay for such a small difference?

The only issue with just 3 warzone a week and on top of that not being able to wear purple gear is that we probable see then more people not even wearing the recruit gear in level 50 warzones... why bother, when you it is amlost certain that you want get it for free (not enough valour when hitting 50) and you can play just 3 warzones per week anyway.

I don't know what game you are playing, I can easily get my 9 wins in for the weekly in about a dozen or on a bad week a little more solo q games.
