F2P usually have a fun tutorial portion, then there is a sweet spot between the tutorial and when all of the pay mechanics are introduced and when you run up against the first serious "pay or wait" wall.
You get to enjoy an hour or few of a high budget production game with possibly interesting mechanics, and maybe keep playing if the grind is enjoyable enough.
I played the hell out of Firefall and DDO when they want F2P. I even spent a bunch of money on DDO, not as much as I would have spent if it were still subscription and I played for the same duration but still more than the zero they would have gotten if the F2P hadn't encouraged me to give it a try.
From what I've seen Warframe has fun mechanics and visuals. I tried to play but they reject my revocable email addresses in making an account.
