Well, I will be coming to Wildstar to check it out for f2p and have a few questions and since Class forums are ghost towns I'll bring the thread to General.
 
1)  Is this game worth even playing as f2p?
 
2)  My last 2 MMO's were Rift > SWTOR > Rift again for Nightmare Tide.  I Rogue'd in Rift, and Sentinel'd in swtor..  I enjoy the rogue, but since I've been playing it in Rift I'm looking for a different play style.  Is there any similarities with the SWTOR Sentinel and Warrior in this game or possibly another class.  
 
3)  I consider myself a PvP player who enjoys the PvE Raiding aspect of games as well.  Are there PvP and PvE gear.. I despise Rift for the fact they unified gear.  So hoping it's not the same for Wildstar!
 
4)  Is PvP Competitive?  Is there a healthy community? 
 
5)  How is class balance in PvP?
 
6)  Is crafting needed?  Not big on this part of any game but also don't want to be hindered since I'm a min/max player.
 
Welp, that's about it.  Thanks for any help given!

It is f2p.  Why wouldn't it be worth it?  Any f2p is worth giving it a try if you are interested.  Only thing you lose is time but then again it is a video game so you are always using time when you play.
 
From what I hear on the pvp front, it is pretty dead.  That is why the pvp server before f2p was dead. Maybe now it will get new life but in all honesty, I wouldn't hold my breath.  I think their focus for awhile will be making sure the f2p change gets all its bugs worked out and then focus on a cash shop.  Then pve content which leaves pvp at the bottom.
