The list of (non) features Freemium players of SWTOR got is lenghty. Some of it are minor like the character creation ones, others are petty like limiting fast travel and instant ressurection and others, like not being able to equip purple items and limiting your companions skills just put you at a clear disadvantage.

However, the sum of all these un-features makes for a really watered experience. You need to be a hardcore Star Wars fan to endure playing without paying, but if you are that hardcore, won't you be paying anyway?

And while it's tiring to point it at this point, for the same entry price you can just play Guild Wars 2 for free and without feeling like your are a 2nd class citizen.

Just saying...
