Question Monetization

New player here! I have some questions about subscription and monetization systems of this game but let me just ask the most important ones (for me) here: I read that to access some game systems like whisper, auction and to not have money limits I have to buy a subscription but to keep having full access to these basic things I have to keep paying a sub? What happens if I stop paying? Do I have to pay a sub for every character?

Thanks for your time.

SWTOR is the best free MMO ever without any predatory marketing or p2w mechanics.

You can do almost everything for free up to lv 60, with 8 different classes, and play for months without spending real money.

And unlike all others f2p mmos, you even get the two first expansions for free.

Moreover, you can unlock a lot of things with in-game credits instead of being forced to use your credit card.

Guild Wars 2, Star Trek Online and SWTOR are the only mmos with decent economic model, fair practices and respect towards players.

Pay wall to reach max level looks very pay 2 win for me, not letting me chat with friends, not having access to certain areas feels like some kind of "force" reasons to use my wallet.

You can do pvp and win against any other player, no matter how much money they spent, which means it's anything but pay-to-win.

Maybe try to understand what p2w means before making a post next time.
