We've lived with years of NA/EU initial beta so it's finally our time to shine.

Lol, plus there are billions of potential gamers there, especially in China

They're releasing this stuff in regions where the pay-to-win model has the biggest chance of succeeding ?
At least, I'm going to assume this is a P2W affair based on the point "f2p is about weapons, armor and power-ups"

^ this, marketing choice, seems that for some reasons P2W stuff works better in the east

Because devoleped country people don't put up with nickle and diming severe P2W crap.

Yes! I just really hope it dosen't become like battlefield play-for-free.
What Battlefield play-for-free did; was in the beta/beginning session the game was PERFECT, and the guns you could buy where on-par with F2P guns!
But then they released and update that made payed guns these OP pieces of crap which take 1 shot to kill, and everyone hated the game.

Speaking of f2p/p2w scheme: I remember an interview with the developer of some Russian browser MMO (f2p of course). He said that 95% of the income comes from less than 5% of the users. So these 5% who keep the game profitable are its target audience, all the other players are there just to keep the privileged ones entertained. Who are these wealthy few? Children of the wealthy elite who get lots of money but want attention - the dev supposes.
The reason these games is not because there are millions of players who spend one dollar, but because there are few players who spend millions. So, f2p/p2w works so great in countries with drastic income differentiation.

People are actually playing this game right now, even before the official alpha has started..all thanks to modders :P
Looks pretty fun:-

Meanwhile MS continues to screw the official players by delaying the alpha access & limiting playing to only 3-4 hours per day..as announced in the official Vk.com account

Hello!
Maybe in a few days we will be able to start providing access to the alpha test the game. To test at maximum load, we have to artificially limit the time availability of game servers - get ready for a start we will let you play only 3-4 hours a day.
Yes, it's not very comfortable, but it is such a chore for alpha testers .

As I said...people all over the world are playing this now, meanwhile MS continues to screw the official testers & put limitations...the modding community is putting all their hard work to make sure everyone gets to play this & doesn't have to bother with any microtransactions & stuff like that.
