Not quite sure what you're asking.

Level 50 characters get a daily quest to complete 4 warzones. If they win a warzone however, it counts double. So if a F2P player got two warzones per day, they have a chance at completing the daily every day.

It should be 2 warzones per day. That encourages F2P players to log in every day, and encourages them to win their matches since they can complete the daily with two wins. Then if they don't manage to win, they have the extra incentive to buy more access, but they still get the opportunity to complete the daily and weekly later in the week.
2 a day doesn't give much incentive for them to buy a Week Pass..... Bottom line is Bioware/EA has to make money one way or another....
F2P is like driving on a long stretch of highway with toll booths every 1/2 mile

You'd be surprised.

It's easy to lose 1 match out of 2, especially if you're new to the game. If you lose 1, then you have no way of completing the daily without buying the weekly pass. And if you consistently lose once every day, you won't even complete the weekly within the week.

So, a F2P has the choice of taking two weeks and two days to complete their quests, or they buy a pass or sub and complete those in half the time.

I think something like 10 would be a more reasonable number. At 3 I am willing to bet people will just leave rather than sub.

I think they are going at it in the wrong direction. I believe they should only be allowed 2-3 losses. Disbaning would count as a loss. If you win, you may continue to play. This would promote 'winning matters' unlike now.

Honestly, I would prefer they only give access to one HM, like BT or Esseles, but that wasn't part of the poll now was it? But if you give unlimited access to those HM's at least the queues will still pop, and everyone can play, and maybe people will think "hmmm, I should subscribe and get them all" Because if you want full access....subscribe.
yeah you said 1 thing. " There was no option to say zero. If you want full access, subscribe." I took that as you misunderstanding my post that said the same thing you were saying... I want ZERO F2P. sorry for the confusion.

#1 I am a subscriber, have been since having a sub was possible, and will continue to be one untill the game is dead.

#2 I did not I did not click 3 or say 3 is enough because I do not believe that anyone that is F2P should be in any group with a P2P player unless the P2P player is ok with it and specifically clicks a F2P warzone or FP or whatever. I do not want F2P and I think it is a BAD BAD move on the part of a greedy corporation. However the OP has a biased poll that reflects nothing of the true feelings of the community about the F2P model. No one I know wants F2P. As a seasoned MMO veteran it seems to me all introducing F2P does is tell MMO gamers its time to jump ship.

And you do not have to listen to me because I was in the military I only mentioned that to shed light on the fact that I am not going to just choose A or B when the option I clearly want is T. Clearly that post should have been directed at OP not you. It was the only relevant way I could describe how I feel the F2P cheerleaders are acting, just like politicians... there is no option for Zero because F2P is clearly coming and they will be in our WZs and FPs and such but that does not mean that I am going to talk constructively about the F2P model. I will not EVER group with anyone that is F2P knowingly and if I find out that a person is F2P i will remove them from guild, group, friendslist... whatever. I want nothing to do with the F2P model or anyone who does not subscribe EVER. That was my original point, sorry that I mistook your post as you quoting me when it clearly was not in hindsight.

i think 3 is low. I would prefer restrictions were more on fluff than content. E.x. no sprint, companon sells and makes stuff slower, no taxi´s, longer cooldown on quicktravel. Stuff like that. I dont think it´s too much with 1 FP and 2 WZ each day. I wouldn´t mind a restriction on the hardmodes they can do. Just the ilum hardmodes f.x. and let the rest of the hardmodes be locked.

If you are not subscribed, then you might be a new player, get out of my WZs please. 3 is enough. If you are serious about pvp in SWTOR then you should think about paying for more. It might be a good deal depending on prices. I do not do warzones, flashpoints and ops every damn day. If they make the features too affordable then I will just unsubscribe and play the story.
and the Force beat generic Swords and Magic any day. 8/26/14 That was my old signature but after RotHC, I went back to superheroes and swords and magic. Now waiting on Dragon Age and a SWTOR story expac for my Bioware fix 7/30/15 Returned for KotFE. Finally, a story expac.

Honestly man, from one soldier to another who has been to Iraq.....I honestly 100% think you might have some PTSD going on there, recalling events that are usualy kept to ourselves. Not even i go on ranting about my military experience to make a point or whatever it is your trying to say while including it. Everyones entitled to an opinion, you and him. But no on a serious note, try the clinic on base? Just to check, hell it'll look good on your retirement benefits, 80% disability maybe?

But regarding the F2P restrictions, it doesnt matter much to me, yea i do feel that EA should go back to the drawing board on this really, even DCUO and other P2P games that went F2P with P2P didnt restrict as much. I personally am subscribed and will be, but everyone nit picking at how they dont want F2P people here or there, honestly, the game needs more players as it is....lets not try to scare them off by being cold to them.
