What are you gonna do? You're playing the game, what do you expect to do besides play?

The game only gets worse when you're maxed.

Hey you! You build up quite a reputation. We need men like you to win this war! We need you to collect them ten boxes!

Yeah, no. The first time it's ok. Once you level an alt it becomes extremely dull.
lulz, moronic troll who sits on the forums all day thinking anyone who likes the game is a "biodrone". herp derp.

My favorite time sink is to grind dung... er, flashpoints

but wait... I can't do that, because it takes a whole night of gaming to find a group for anything, if I'm lucky and patient enough to sit around the fleet while doing absolutely nothing to help me effectively enjoy my game time.

You could....ahh yeah, I could go on and on but this is SWTOR, not a 1990's game (Ultima Online) that had fun stuff to do endgame.

BW appears to have only had story on their minds when making SWTOR, so we get to wait a few years for fun stuff to do, unfortunately....Not a lot to do endgame except, scripted pve Fps/Ops, wz's/Illum, oh wait they say we can reroll too.....

Wow, when I look at that last sentence that's a bit saddening, 5 measily things to do at 50??? and one of them is reroll, lol.
Are any of those related to speeding up the leveling process, or this just an opportunity to push your agenda no matter how unrelated?

As far as the OP with 2 hours for a level feeling too grindy......

That's still too easy example. He should try to level a character in Silkroad without using a bot. He would never reach max level and I never did neither even after playing that game for a few years. At later levels one level requires you to kill 7-8 mobs to gain 0.01% experience which means 70 000 - 80 000 mobs killed. And yes, that is in one spot without any quests helping the process.



After Silkroad, SWTOR would not feel a grind at all.

But occasionally it is fun to log into the game, play a round of SWTORFox and to send the companions back to work.
True man. I cba to log into game because it simply sucks. Yet I still lurk into forums from time to time and argue with people for the sake of it (at least until my sub runs off which I await eagerly).
