Why not just 3 a week in which they can use WH gear; but can queue as much as they want in recruit, but htye can only be on a team with other free to players.

No. I want MORE paying PvPers - I want to make sure the experience doesn't suck for F2P players who try it one week. 3 warzones doesn't offer that because of reasons I've listed. After 3, I bet most F2P players will be frustrated by the experience...not encouraged to play more and surely unlikely to PAY for more.

There are better ways to do this IMO. A weekly allotment of 6-8 with a 3 per day cap, or limit it to 3 WINS per week...because 3 frustrating warzones where you're out-gunned and out-manned that end in a slaughter will most certainly NOT encourage players to buy more WZ's.
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

i agree with having more players
sadly those who where gaming dind't left due to the cost of the game
They left left due to other things
all the ppl rolling in f2p for pvp will fight against full wh augmented ppl......give them 3 or 5 or 15 free Wz's they will still be rolled

Maybe not. How many cartel coins for full augmented WH gear?

Agreed.

(Though limiting 3 wins per week would likely encourage F2Ps to intentionally lose, so they could keep playing warzones)

I highly doubt we'll see many F2P players willing spending money on passes week after week. Which means either they will subscribe, or they will simply leave the game. Which means less players playing warzones, which hurts the game as a whole.

Really, they should just be giving warzones away for free, or at least only charging players a one-time unlock fee. And then make money by putting "Increase Commendations Earned" buffs in the shop.

I dont think so.

I think a trial is designed to do this.

Rather than adopting an actual F2P for all of us, in which the company makes money off micro transactions. They have actually taken away so much content that F2P is not viable and despite EA's CEO claiming that subscription games are going to the wayside in a world of F2P games, they have come up with a way to force SWTOR to continue as a P2P game but with micro transactions that will, and you can quote me later, be a huge part of this games future.

Here is some stuff from EA's CEO
http://www.rantgaming.com/2012/07/23...usiness-model/

This guy loves money and getting you to part with it,is what the future holds.

If you think your going to stay P2P and only pay 15 dollars a month, think again. You will pay for the content you have been paying for since January and you will also be nickle and dimed to no end.
