STOP the excuse making!

You like strawberry, but I like chocolate. Why do they force us to only have strawberry?

Roll Alts to enjoy an MMO.

Am I really reading that argument? That's the answer to the games issues?

Roll Alts?

Ok, so what endgame in any MMO isn't as repetitive as leveling up alts?

Well, with WoW.. you can make choices. Same planets same order same exact quests in TOR.

No, the answer is to not blow through content in two months and then complain about not having anything to do. That's for a new game, for new content patches, for new expansions, whatever. I've seen it happen every single time in WoW when there was a new patch or expansion, and we're seeing it here. Realize that the game you are playing isn't solely meant for those who burn through content faster than the vast majority of the population and stop burning yourself out.

If you're not 50 yet at this point that means you probably play an hour a day or leveling a ton of alts simulteanously.

So what if this is a new game. I played both FFXI and LOTRO from launch, and both games kept me busy for a lot longer than a month after launch. No way on earth unless you murdered yourself playing would you have reached max level on FFXI in four weeks. So comparing this game to other games that may have launched in the past is very misleading.

The leveling up process on games released a decade ago wasn't near as quick as it is on this game, so there was less of a need to have an extensive endgame upon launch. I don't know why this simple concept is so hard for people to understand, and why this comparision SWTOR defenders typically make is so inaccurate.

Simple truth is this game simply moves too quick. Reaching level 50 can be done in the span of a month easily, even for casuals - and that reality puts far more pressure on this game to have an extensive endgame to keep players busy than did the games of the past.

Bottom line:

This is a great game for players who like to roll alts.

This is a boring game for players who don't.

It really is that simple.

So instead of making these stupid comparisons to games released a decade ago in a completely different era when players expected completely different things - let's move past that nonsense and all chip in on ways Bioware can make this game more fun after 50 so everyone isn't either bored or rolling an alt.

All of this excuse-making gets us NO WHERE.

Or you didn't start in early access. Still, that's not the point, the game has only been out for two months now. No content was meant to last only two months, not in any MMO.
