oh yes, if you want to play the game it's definetly the best way to do it. the point now is why play the game.
i'm dropping my sub in 3 years because of no new ops and group content.
i levelled a toon recently, from 1-65 and it's ridicolously easy, even more than before, you don't need crafting, you don't need gear, you don't need levels even.
you can play 1-65 without having to group once.
60-65 is all crap instanced chapters. i stopped at chapter 10 on one toon and i've 20.
i absolutely hate imp/rep love since SoR. time to take a break, but it's not an mmo anymore and while paying monthly for a ridicolous chapter and new CC is worthless, subbing is still the best way to enjoy the game.
