Have people found a way to cheat?

I've played since early access and have one of each as well, however my highest level is 30. Lately I haven't played as much as usual since I've been sick. However, if I add all my level's together I'm way past max level that tells me that if I spent more time on one character and less on all those others I'd be max level long ago. I play several hours in the evening and more on my days off. I could get to 14 in about 3 hours, 4 max. So no, that's not cheating. I'm actually quite lazy and laid back. I could care less about getting to end game quickly. I just plan on enjoying my time and taking it at my own pace.

We need one more thread like this. 2 is not enough.

No shame in admitting that... I'll spill a secret myself: I'm more into Star Trek then Star Wars and there's a Star Trek Online game but it is horribly designed and not so fun to play which probably explains why it went to a free to play system recently. So compared to that, this game is way, way professional and way more fun... Also, Bioware knows how to make games.

And I spend my day off on Christmas playing this... And I switch between my characters on a weekly basis.

It can seem like cheating, when everyone is better than you.

But seriously, it's not a hard game, it just takes time. Some people have more time to spend and/or use their time more effectively.

Well there's your problem. You have one of each class. If you concentrated on one character, and played for 8-10 hours a day every day, you too could race ahead of everyone else. And then come to the forums to complain about how there's nobody to do anything with.

Just go at your own pace and have fun getting there. Unlike WoW, the fun in this game is getting to max level, not starting at max level.

no..!!!

I have a 50 Marauder a 33 assasin a 15 sniper and a 20 jedi guardian I started on the 14th have a full time Job, a girlfriend and never skipped a second of dialog or set foot in PVP its really not that slow to level.

made my assassin lvl 50 in just under 3 weeks.

no hacks, no gimmicks, no early access, no spacebar pressed, nothing lol

I admit I'm really slow at leveling (levels 1-10 in about 4 hours) but once I hit 15/16, I can usually only level 1-2 per day.

My defence: I'm enjoying the journey to end game

Don't think there is an end to the stories (Though depending on your class, each story is different)
