If you didn't know Star Wars Battlefront II's skill and progression system is completely loot box based, so the game has essentially become pay to win despite already being a full priced game.

EA was formerly accused of selling 1/2 of a game with Star Wars Battlefront (2015) since the DLC which contained more maps was $50 (if you purchased the season pass) and one of the largest complaints about the base $60 game was there wasn't enough maps, so people were saying EA was trying to sell people a game for $110.00.

EA made a big show at E3 2017 about how there wouldn't be tons of expensive DLC you would have to buy for Star Wars Battlefront II and the DLC will be free this time, but this is apparently in exchange for the game being made pay to win instead.

Since Overwatch popularized loot boxes in AAA games as a means of continuous profit from a game, lots of publishers try to fit in loot boxes (that you can buy with real money of course) in any way they can, although they usually keep it restricted to cosmetic items.

I don't think Star Wars Battlefront II being pay to win is going to stop it from being a massive success, because of the fact that it's a Star Wars game, but the fear of pay to win loot boxes isn't restricted to Star Wars Battlefront II alone, the fear is that if (or more likely when) Star Wars Battlefront II is a massive sales success, EA will standardize pay to win loot boxes like Overwatch standardized cosmetic loot boxes, and every publisher will start putting pay to win loot boxes into their game because EA got away with it.

The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him. They're all complacent sheeple. Passion fights, but reason wins.
