This is like giving PVE players only SM for Operations with the Weekly Operation Pass.

.. and the worst part is that Bioware did not even care mention this in the description of the item. Don't you think that's kind of ridiculous?

PVE: players can do all content if they buy the Weekly Pass.
PVP: players can NOT even buy any unlucks for Ranked Warzones -> u have to be a sub.

So what you're saying is that there's something that gives a distinct advantage to subscribers that non subscribers can't participate in?
Interesting.

I wonder why a profit-driven company would do that?

This exactly. If PvP competition is THAT important, people should have to sub for it. You get what you pay for, and guess what you get when you pay for nothing.

Except they aren't not paying for something, they are paying - for a weekly pass that is supposed to give them unrestricted PVP access for a week. This should include ranked IMO.

Exactly.

Yup, BW trying to steal more money from PvP'ers who'd rather not give them their undeserved ~$15/mo.

That's pretty low, BW.

So, you are heavily invested in the game to do some serious PVP, have the right gear, and do ranked WZ's... but can't bring yourself to sub?

You're shocked people who pay for the game have more access than you? < THAT'S what is shocking

The weekly pass costs money to buy, at least in theory.

I'd assume it's more likely that Bioware just didn't care about ranked WZ so that they forgot to put this in as opposed to any malice, because otherwise that'd be false advertising. The weekly pass even says you have full access to WZs. It didn't say 'full access to regular WZs only'.

Ranked is a luxury. They have access to PvP. Want access to better PvP? Sub. Easy enough.
