they seem to be going the way LOTRO is with the F2P option, which is not a bad thing if you take a step back and look at it all around. while subbed you get x amount of TP a month to use in the turbine store on exclusive mounts, cosmetic gear,pets, crafting tools and recipies as well as some LI improvements and even expansions. Though it seems to lean more to pay to win...in my view it helps those who work for a living catch up faster with the fast pace gear/raid releases. take it however you see it though, i stay subbed to that game to save points to buy expansions and mounts as they come out, ill probly end up dropping that sub to sub this one if its done right in swtor.
