So you think because I'm disappointed with the state of the game and expect more out of a genre that has had 15 years of learning from other MMO's that I'm unemployed living in my parents basement? That's hilarious. If all you can do is sling insults, why are you here? You're obviously not contributing anything constructive to the conversation.

IF so many people can clear all the content in less than a month that is saying that it is way to easy or there was not enough content to begin with.
I seen people hit max level on a wow expansion in the first week it was out.

I have to disagree with this a bit, each race had their own starting zones and to get to them you had to travel through higher level mob's. The only way to do that was on foot, they didn't give you the flight points like they do now. People should have some patience, this is not WoW. You have to keep telling yourself this.

Just step outside the WoW zone for a while maybe you will get a new perspective.
Well, the amount of hate on the forums is really disproportionate to how bad SWTOR is to the point that it seems more likely people are paying $15 to troll the forums

Subjective I suppose.

- PvE Questing
- PvP in WZ's
- Space Combat
- PvE grinding (killing mobs).
- Flashpoints


That's my definition of leveling options. I find it to be pretty good. As to the linear nature of the game, it doesn't have to be that way. I've skipped several planets (everything but my class quest), knowing that I'll spend more time on those planets with my alts.

Would it be nice to be able to go to planet X or Y instead of being forced to go to planet X, yes, but from my perspective, I prefer multiple ways to level and not multiple zones.

OP, boredom is a self-inflicted state of mind.

Different people enjoy different things, in differing amounts, and in different ways.

To complain that something does not meet your needs and by implication that it makes you bored is a victim mindset.

Other then socially fixed elements like earning an income and taxes, you choose what you do or do not do in life and therefore you control your enjoyment.

It is not Biowares fault you are bored. They are not forcing you to play this game. It is not a job, and they are not imposing taxes on you.

Find something you actually enjoy and that does not make you bored. Don't blame Bioware because their product does not meet your personal needs.

I would take story that I enjoyed playing though twice (Because frankly Imps and Rep have two completely different story lines) then multiple zones that I get absolutely no enjoyment out of.

And while I agree that I would like to be able to level up in different settings, I disagree about a game being worse off for being more linear.
For some people, the linearity won't be a problem, I agree. I'm an altoholic however. Many of my guildies are as well. You could see how this would be a problem for people that like to play and learn multiple classes? Altoholics aren't just some small sliver of the gaming community either.

To the others, I was defending WoW's ability to choose where you go, but definitely not the content of quests... (everyone knows that the content was horrible, no one was saying otherwise) For me to have to state that explicitly just shows me that you aren't trying to understand what I'm saying before trying to find a way to argue with it.

Where did I state you lived in your basement? Where did I state you didn't hold a full time job? Touchy a bit there, what I was referring to is the title of your thread mostly, it sounds pretty childish to me. So what conclusion do I draw from the title and then the tone of your post? You set up your post for failure by making a title called "i am bored" If you gathered anything from my post it was to say to you have some patience we are not even two months after release and you are comparing this to a game that has had 7 years to polish itself. MMO's have been around longer than 15 years btw. I am sure they have plans to add content to this game.

Exactly! Bioware made an absolutely flawless gaming experience and if you don't like it, the problem is obviously with you. How dare you state your support and hope for future success of the game, offer some reasonable criticism, then have the nerve (for shame!) to say you'll stick it out a while longer to give them time to make improvements!

The nerve of some people.

Start by leveling alts.
The problem with levelling alts is besides the individual class stories it is the same generic kill or fetch quests that are so tiresome to do yet again. Game has no replayability to it in my opinion. While the levelling curve in this game is retardely simple and the levelling speed is ultra fast it is still boring to go back do all the same quests again.

I got my first character to 50 in 2 days 8 hours of playtime. My second was a pure drag to level up as I was bumping into the same content I had just done and besides the class quests it was a borefest.

This whole thing people are banding about pointing at people for rushing to level cap is silly, If you have even the slightest amount of experience in MMO's or any gaming skill at all this game should never take more than 4 days played time tops to reach max level which is no time at all. It's far too easy to level up.

In my opinion, the actual problem of the mmo's is that..they're not persistent worlds.
As often happens, it's nice to go round the world map during leveling, but then? At level cap the "persistent world" becomes just a big waiting room for the usual stuff like warfronts/pve things.
Well, that's ok and obvious..you can't avoid a sort of grind. That's ok. But where's all the little thing that you do in a real persistent world?
In Star Wars ppl makes only war or destroy enemy starships? Well, if it's like that, I feel bad for the ppl of that world!
What I mean is..would be nice for us players to have many little things like item skin managing (something like dc universe for example) , restyling the room of my ship and similar stuff..
