It it not feasible to think that Legacy perks are anything like skills you get while leveling up normally, because the pace at which you level your Legacy leaves no room for excitement.

Think of it like having the exp to get to level 2 be 240k exp, and you only earn around 200 exp per quest and 2-5 exp per kill. You won't be thinking about the skills you'll be getting once you level, you'll be groaning at how long it is taking.
I see your point though I like to think that I am better than that, I think of it more as working towards your goal, it is much more satisfying if you had to work really hard than if you got it on a silver plate

If you make an alt with your only motivation being farming Legacy exp, you will start foaming at the mouth at how long it takes for you to level it up.

For your own sake, try not to put too much importance on your Legacy progress. Leveling Legacy has NOTHING to do with hard work. It's all about how much time you are choosing to sink.

Just because something takes long to achieve, doesn't mean it is hard.

The single part of the legacy system that bothers me is that we still have no idea what is going to be included or how its going to be included.

For instance i would really love to have a Tugrota or Cathra character, if these become availible later without a race change option it would really suck. I have both the classes i want to play at 50 and i love playing them, however i would kill to be either of those races instead of my typical human style races
Stricken - 50 Juggernaut
Sylindis
- 50 Operative

I won't be farming, I will be studying the system, striking to achieve (at least that's how I see it) and I really like to see bars go up, and shiny messages telling me how good I am (even got a program that tells me I'm awesome when I use it)

Since you really like to see bars go up, you will definitely be foaming at the mouth at how long it takes a Legacy bar to fill up.
