You lose about 25% experience from being f2p and you dont get sprint/mounts as soon as a subbed person would if you dont mind walking its not that bad

It's perfectly doable, you will notice though that unless you do some pvp, dungeons or other group content, you'll lag behind on XP and that will cause you some trouble.
I don't think this matters nearly as much as you think it does.

I have no trouble with it.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.

You might want to sub for double xp week if you are planning on playing a fair amount.

It feels very slow, but it is acceptable. Whenever I know I'll be leveling characters I tend to sub for that month. Doubly so when it is a double xp week like this upcoming one.

If you plan on doing all of the group content as you go, then it will be fine. If you want to strictly do the class stories and only what can be soloed, you will probably fall behind pretty quickly. I suggest subbing until you finish the stories, then simply unsubbing if you have no intentions of playing the end game.

I'm fairly sure if you just do planet and class quest content, you can get through the game without too much trouble. If you do a bonus series here and there, it'll help out, but you won't need to do all of them.
If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.

Aside from questing being a little slower, enjoying the story and just 'seeing' the game is definitely doable with preferred status. I considered coming back just to leveling something I hadn't before, and I was going to do it without paying a penny. Many players just play to level the classes and thats it. The negatives are there, sure, but if you are only interested in seeing the leveling then by all means go and do it! You won't regret it.

its not to bad if you just wanna quest, but if you try doing more than just every quest on each planet you can start noticing the glaring strictions. like me personally wish there wasn't a restriction on how many warzones you can do per week especially with the warzone event going on till the 7/22 but as others have said if you just wanna see the story of a class as a preferred status player its not to hard you'll have to do more of the side quests on each planet so

I'd say sub for a month to level, you get your money's worth for sure and get access to the level 50+ content as well.

Do you know if you have to get a char up to 50+ while subbed to keep access to it once unsubbed? Originally Posted by Katchii

You don't. If you sub once you unlock all the Makeb stuff, which includes 50-55.
