Up to Hoth, i've only abandoned 1 or 2. And that was because i thought that Nar Shaddaa wasn't worth of my time (was outleveling it by the time i got there, so i did only class quests in there)

I did most of them while leveling my first character with my brothers, but since then I've been soloing characters and I don't even bother trying. I pick up the quests simply so I don't see the icon on my minimap and confuse myself.

For me personally they aren't worth the time to try and find a group and go through them. Some of those quests can take quite awhile and I would prefer to just go about my business questing.

I can see the population issue coming up for a lot of players as well. I find it funny playing republic side now and going to a planet and there only being 3 people on it (at around 12 PST). That could cause a lot of issues for people on certain servers when it comes to finding groups for the heroics.

I do all of them, I just call out a LFG while Im questing every once in a while and do it when i can, no rushing and they get done.

I think the same thing happened in testing. At first people were all gung ho to do the heroics, then after a while people started giving up on it when they realized they could progress much easier by just doing solo quests or Warzones.

Exactly. Of course if your goal is to rush to the lvl cap then group quests are not a good idea as they take more time but when have they ever been if your goal is ziplining to max lvl?

All of them, there's no point. If it drops an orange, then I'll go back to solo it later if possible. If it's not, then never.

The point is having fun. This should be the only point that matter when you play a game.

Once we hit Alderaan, the friend I play with and I, dropped every one.

Prior to that we two-manned them.

Like Public Quests in Warhammer, it just seems like there are too many per "area", and thus instead of picking one, you simply ignore them all, as the lure of seeing the next planet outweighs the lure of wanting some badges and a blue.

On a side note:
I am almost to the point with this game of never playing solo, as there are too many "grey" mobs mixed in with the normal trash. Seeing as how my solo Jedi is DPS with a DPS companion, having to med after every fight with one, is wearing thin.

I am all for them at "quest points"... guarding what I need to click on, or even patting around, but all over the place from Tatooine on... well it is just getting harder and harder to justify logging on unless we are playing "our mains".

so in addition to 4-mans, it just seems the whole game is not very solo friendly for some class and companion combos.
SW:Tor will undoubtedly be another great BioWare game, but will it be a great MMO? We will have to wait until 30 days after release to answer that question... maybe 60 if the story is long enough.

I find the Fleet FPs much more fun, as they seem to have many more things going on.

My 4th alt is just completing chapter 1 and it's fair to say that between all of them I've abandoned almost every planetary 4-man. In fact, at this point, I'd be happy for an option to have the quest givers for them not even show up on my radar.

I'm not anti-grouping, but I am very much anti-waiting around not playing while trying to convince three players out of the twenty-odd on that planet at the time to do the quest.
I got my first 50 on Dec 18th.... There was me and 1 other person if I was lucky on the planet I was.... didnt do any of the 2 or 4 mans while lvling.
