But why don't they make the game to be like Guild Wars 2, Warface or Warframe? Remove all of the "Special", "Boost" things that you have to buy and just make the game that you can get any equipment and rank but you have to play and grind to get it or buy it to get it immediately or do certain special missions like Instances or Raids like in WoW to get it
You don't have to buy any of those things, though. Most of the cash shop items are cosmetic except for soem things, and you can earn experience boosts while playing the game.
SWTOR is not those other games, it is a subscription model game (most of the ones you listed are either totally free, or have a buy the game, play for free model) with the ability to play for free. As a subscriber, I have not felt that my game is negatively impacted by not buying boosts and master datacrons and the like, everything you get with the master datacron you can get through being a subscriber and grinding in game.
SWTOR has never been play to win, you can be very competitive without spending a single extra dime of your own money outside of subscription fees. What it actually ends up being in general, is pay to look pretty, or pay to progress faster, which is what you are asking for here.

Between the level 65 tokens and the master datacron you can't really progress any faster. So I don't see why you ask for faster. An instant level 70 is about as fast as it gets.
And this game isn't pay to win. It's pay to lose actually since a sub gives you access to endgame which rewards you for losing warzones and being carried by conquestors and bolster in last boss runs in the GF. That's the most rewarding content in the game and it will bring you BiS gear.
Any idiot can basically get BiS gear in this game and can completely bypass any challenging content.
There isn't much more they can do between giving you a level 70 character with BiS gear and where the game is at now. If you want it made easier I have to assume you're not doing the right things. Since pretty much 4.0 but especially now this has got to be the easiest MMO I've played with regards to endgame progression.
