I find it interesting that BioWare claims it will not be "pay to win", but flashpoint access will be limited and operations will require a paid account. So, those who aren't paying are going to have less access to endgame gear than those with a paid account. And you can bet that the new operation is going to have better gear than anything else out there...

Regardless, I see them losing some of my money by going free to play. Right now, I pay for two accounts - one for me, and one for my daughter. Her character is only level 25, and she doesn't play flashpoints or operations...so there's no real reason for her to keep paying to play. I can see several multi-account households going that route.

Sounds like you'll need to pay for access to Endgame content (Ops, Warzones, Etc). Probably for neat-looking orange gear (not stats, looks). Possibly have to pay for access to Flashpoints too.

Reportedly the storyline stuff for all 8 classes will be free. As will level progression.

All subject to change and up to wild speculation and reading into things, of course.

Those are referred to by people as "Pay to win".
