Pay to Win

Again, go look at the restriction page before saying that these restrictions don't exist.

Payments should only be used to broaden the gaming experience without affecting the gameplay itself.

you could just reference to this: http://www.swtor.com/free/features
it clearly shows, that it is not intended for f2p players to really enjoy the endgame without paying a lot of unlocks, so you do attack their marketing strategy to let the f2p players enjoy all the class stories (which are a huge part of swtor) but not the endgame.
This is not p2w, this is p2play, so please rest that silly argument

Lol more like if they don't go free the whole game will tank in 2 years max anyways. After they siphon however much money they can off of the remaining 8 people who are still playing swtor.

And yet again words are put into my mouth. The game is good, but not good enough to warrant 15$ compared to other games out there, as i've said numerous times.

I'll break down why it needs to go free. It will go free eventually, but i'll tell you why it has to now. It boils down to a simple thing called "Elder Scrolls Online" I guarantee the game will sink further if they do not change their business process within 3 months of that release. Whats the one thing SWTOR needs above all else to survive?
No, not stupid pets. Growth. Free to play, and not a glorified trial, but actual free to play does what, get more people interested.
Once that happens, it will only need the cash shop, and cool looking armor to carry it, and it will still bank a profit. But more importantly, the world wouldn't collectively throw up when they hear the sheer mention of the word "EA".

Now of course you can have some sort of special "EA Supporter" package where you get a big EA logo stamped on your forehead and a number as a name for some 40$ sub, but the cash shop is all you need to make a profit.

Which is why they should rename "Free to Play" to "Glorified demo, please pay us money to be able to play the parts that make a MMO a MMO"

My only question is , How do you WIN , a MMO anyways?

Noone here claims that there are no restrictions for F2P and preferred players.

There are a lot of restrictions, some silly, some reasonable. The restrictions are in place to do two things:
1. allow F2P players to enjoy the class stories (which is absolutely possible without paying a cent)
2. give those players a reason to spend money in order to enjoy the whole endgame, where class stories are void.

The system works as intended and the cartel shop is offering no item, that will give you an advantage over other players, with two small exceptions, which might be arguable....
1. The permission to wear artifact equipment. This one can be paid for in credits, which revokes the "P2W"-argument
2. The expansion... you cannot access lvl 51+ content without paying this.

But you can access the whole game for free and that should be enough even for the most greedy person. Someone who is not willing to pay at all, also is not entitled to get it all.

it's not a demo
it's way more than a demo would ever offer
it's more than a lot of single player games even offer, 8 story lines with missions and side missions all of it for free

which is why the people who enjoyed that "Glorified demo" should pay so that the MMO we enjoy stays alive.

You lose once more. I played 2 characters to the end. I subscribed for playing new characters, plus no restrictions and supporting the game. I still haven't bought any Cartel Coins in 8 months of gaming (F2P and subscriber).
