how come a sub is treated as a f2p ?????
I am a continuously subscriber more than 2 years, yet I got all this time to play SWTOR as a preff or maybe a f2p and that is not fair at all toward a fair paying customer! ...

What data are you basing this off ?
I am based on long long time observations and upon countless starparse results. After 3.0 was in place and I got my gear decent, I was barely doing dps at the lvl that others were doing before the update... and the difference is huge. If you go sholder by sholder with the same class m8 at the same time agains identical foes and he finishes first every time...when a same class player with less gear deals more damage then you over and over and I see the numbers in raid parse... Most relevant I tested (more than once) by doing side-by-side parse on same dummy at almost same gear with a friend, just spamming the simplest of hits both and got that 20% difference... I have been asking around every1 I've meet how much do they parse and what is their apm... first I imagined that may be some kind of country rating involved and I got placed like into a 3-th world country like, not as a real EU citizen. I just wonder how many more clients may be in the same situation, but did not noticed....
What relevance does all this have on FTP and Preferred though , I know they get less XP but doing less damage ?
If you can produce clear stats with identical gear and level and boosts etc this will help to get this looked at.
Here are fresh images showing one of my chars stats and parse results >
I can barely deal 5.3 k with this char that is my best dps, while others are in the 6 - 6.3k range. My sentinel char only touches 5k, briefly. Shadow passes a bit over 4.7 at full 220 gear. The apm reveal the fact that the program diminishes the return, for is consistent all the time as lower that what others deal..even if I just spam one single strike I get below amp. I have tried full alacrity augments build and the apm got where should have been, but the overall dropped. I tried full crit build, all 14 augments + 2 cristals and the result was also lower than what I have now. I tried all kind and did parse after each gear change to see what the effect was, nothing made no difference, I am always way way behind all other players. My commando is also dps low and my agent char is most pathetic, is totally worthless.
By the chart numbers that shows at the end of a wz my chars seem to be competitive thow, for I can not afford to run wz with starparse on for details and confirmation, because the lag that would anyway alter the results, but in fact this is no wonder, for the pvp part of the game is a different game and there I probably register correct.
I emphasize that I am not trolling. I realize more than too well that this report is similar to an ax plunged direct into the game's vain, but is not my intention at all to crumble the game so the competition can raise. Other than one friend I restrained myself to tell any1 about my torment, because I do not want to offer ppl one more reason to leave the game, for I play almost every day and is in my interest to have more ppl on the server, not less, but I got really upset and resorted to this last attempt. So pls do not throw this back at me to point fingers that I have that or have not done that or missed that, for I am not guilty here of nothing. The ecart is just too great. 20% less is huge. I just can not keep up with the others and nothing on my side is to blame. I consider myself the injured party in this matter, so pls do not try to turn all this against me somehow, even if this may be in fact your job!

I have never heard of such a bug, doing less damage than others is usually caused by bad players, so it is understandable that he questioned your statement.
This may be a bug, but it has nothing to do with being a sub or not, a friend of mine was raiding as a preferred player for several months and did more DPS than many of the others.
While there is a bug that has the current endgame gear require an artifact authorisation, if this was the case here you would not have the full stats of that gear.
