The announcement it would be subscription based rather than F2P plus microtransactions killed it for me and a huge number of other people. Other than the built in Star Wars/KotOR fanbase that'll buy the game, I doubt they'll get very many subscribers.
I don't get this line of reasoning. Are there really that many people unwilling to pay a monthly fee? Millions upon millions already do it for WoW, so it's not a financial problem and it's not a stretch to believe that a sizable portion of WoW's subscribers are simply waiting for something better. The question is simply if the game will be good enough to pull away some of WoW's subscribers and keep them, which has nothing to do with their pricing model and everything to do with the quality of the experience and the community.
If a game is good people will pay for it. It's just wait-and-see at this point.
