I've been playing since December and I've only reached level 43. Based on the OP's "guesstaments," exactly how long will it take me to finish the game if I go the alt route?

I agree with the OP's basic premise but fundamentally disagree with ' everything begins at end game'.

For me it's all about the journey and progression of one character and in this respect the laughably easy and short time needed to get to max level leads to a short term game.

The game starts at end game is just the meme left over from the grossly popular mmo that has been running for a decade that a lot of people ditched for this game. It's taking them time to adjust to the idea that t his game hasn't been around for a decade and that the actual game is the game.

Now, that will change in the coming years, but for now, 1-50 is the game.

I'm barely interested in leveling my main, considering I've had the game since launch and am only 34. rofl.

I am not a Star Wars fan. I came here with friends who were and they all moved to more populated servers. I personally am only playing TOR until I can play GW2 or TSW, both of which I know nothing about.
This game is about story and Star Wars. You don't care about story and you're not a SW fan. So why bother at all?It seems that SWTOR is simply not the right game for you.

As for me, I'm currently leveling my third character (LVL 48) and there are many more to come! I'm in this game for the story and I really enjoy it very much.

Wise words!
Those adherents of the very popular unnamed MMO should either adjust or return to what they know and not whine or hate in any forum. Wake up guys, this is Harrison Ford and not Chuck Norris!

But it seems we are destined to get lectured (ad nauseum) about how we should play and what gives us fun inside an MMO, by our friendly cordial "the game starts at 50" crowd. I believe the shrinks call it "projection".
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

This is just the legacy of people coming from wow and nothing more really, they have been to other games and sent those effects to those mmos too but it doesnt wash here, WoW itself is just a gear race and that is all, who has the biggest shiney and the most purples and the biggest item score on the server.

SWTOR is much more, gear isnt a huge biggie and bioware have done there best to make this the case and not a gear race, the storys are great and people are really enjoying the leveling process and even doing them multiple times and both sides whilst not feeling the need to spacebar everything and get to 50 asap.

All the people in this thread that say the "journey" & the "story" is what drives them are single player gamers and obviously not experienced MMO players. No experienced MMO guild concerned with PvE progress will ever want the player that wants "story" and "journey" in their raid team that's for sure, maybe as friends or family of a raider but that's about it. End-game is supposed to be the biggest part of the game in an MMO but that's not the real problem SWTOR is facing today imo, people are just getting bored of having no one to do "anything" with since a majority(definitely more than half) of the servers are very light pop.

That being said, PvE is so bad in this game that endGame doesn't really matter to me. I'll stick to pvp until D3..

Simply by your statement i can see that you are not a mmo old school. The journey in all mmos is one of the best things about them, even in wow but people mostly ignore it these days simply to do raiding thus the way bliz are giving out 80's like candy to enforce that feeling amongst there hardcore subscribers.

And to state that no serious guild would take a player that loves story and lore is so wrong its beyond discussing. Endgame is a part of the game, not the whole game just a part of it. But do enjoy D3 toodle pip.
