So expect warzones to pop much less.

We don't even know the prices yet. A weekly pass for pvp could be really cheap, maybe like 2 bucks or less? If all you do is pvp then going f2p will actually save you money and you'll still get the same quality of gaming in.

That's true. But no new player is going to get hooked on the pvp by playing 3 wz's a week. As you point out, it may save money for those who only pvp who will drop their subs completely. So, double fail with this plan.

And imho, if you arent already invested in this game via friends/guild/attachment to your character from levelling, then the pvp alone isnt worth very much at all when there are better games out there that dont charge anything at all for unlimited play.

There are more than 3 warzones, and with another added soon it could be 2 weeks before some players see them if they are unlucky to get the same ones over and over.

Bioware really needs to rethink their limit!
maybe thats the point that they cant do the daily? nor the weekly? just saying

That assumes they won't drop the cash on a license to see if they do like it. You're looking at a very narrow scenario. A person could just as likely before even queuing for their first warzone figure it's worth it to buy one license to see how it is. Like many have said, this could work out great for PvPers. You pay for what you want.

It all depends on how much will pvp pass cost. If it's like 2 bucks a week then 3 WZ per week is not a big deal.

I'm saying right now, these Weekly passes are not going to go over well on the F2P players.
who cares? they aren't paying. if they like it and then pay, then we care.

Probably should care. Do you realize how big of a flow it would be for this game to be free and people still were not wanting to play it?

Could probably draw in PvE'ers with the story for free, but for those of us who like to PvP, it would be beneficial if someone might be willing to be there for us to kill.

then i suggest you start combing the planets. 3 wz's on EACH character they have per week is more than generous considering what they'll be paying which is what again? Oh yeah, NOTHING. If they can't decide to buy the pvp license off of that, chances are they weren't going to anyway. I've been paying since day 1. I don't care if moochers are dissatisfied.
