Bioware, why are you forcing me into content I already did or content I don't enjoy?

the pvp system is sooooo boring. (in your opinion)

I am going to Diablo 3 until that bores me too. (see you back here after a week of that)

then I'm going to Guild Wars 2 until that bores me also. (see you back here after about 2 days of that)

So, come May 14th... this MMO ends for me. (bye)
Fixed.

It's definitely an option that is there for you, but you have chosen not to use it. Sounds like the problem is w/ you.

I've leveled 3 characters (2 BMs) to 50 w/ PvP only. It's perfectly viable.
I don't think people these days understand what "forced" is, they are confusing being forced to do something with "really, really, really, really wanting something right now, right this instant give it to me or I'll stamp my feet and hold my breath till I turn blue!"

You came to a game design with heavy amounts of PvE and expected to be able to PvP through it.
In short, you set your expectations beyond the scope of what the game was going to provide and now you're complaining that those expectations were not met.
Any amount of research prior to purchase would have led you to the conclusion that there was going to be MUCH more PvE focused content in this game than PvP.

I have nothing against PvP centric games nor ones that provide more PvP than PvE in terms of content at launch, updates and overall "love". This game however is not one of them.

So you can continue to muddle through doing PvP in a PvE>PvP game OR you can find another game that caters more to your playstyle.

Not ever game released is going to cater to every player. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact it's better that way as you tend to get higher quality gaming when a developer focuses on a couple things and does them very well versus trying to focus on 2 dozen things and doing none of them very well.

Have you never played an MMO before? Seriously... you must be new to gripe about this.

Did you ask these questions before:
"Why am I forced to travel around the world when all I want to do is Fight M.Bison? I already did the whole thing with Ryu. I don't want to do the same thing again with Chun Li."

"Why am I forced to climb up multiple levels in Donkey Kong? I already jumped one barrel and climbed one ladder. Why would I have do it again?"

I chose to level through PvP and have 3 lv50s to show for it. 2 of them Battlemasters, and I'm working on the third (much easier than the first 2 times). 2 of them have all 3 of their crew skills maxed (400/400/400).

I work a full-time job (that I'm posting from actually), and only really play for a few hours a day during the week. I play for more on the weekends.

Why is it that the OP couldn't do that for just 1 character, again?

Oddly enough, I have to do PVP that I do not care to do in order to get the Level 40 PVP armor, which IMO happens to be the best set in the game for the Trooper.

That is just how it goes. Deal with it.

Yeah, I recently rolled my 1st alt and I got to level 15 before I realized its the same boring quests I did before

I really enjoy the class quests, its those extra quests that get me...always go do this and go do that...go and get something from someone KNOWING that someone doesn't have it.

Too many "go and do this quest then turn it into another NPC" quests that just make you do another quests and dont even reward you for the one you do

Soon always means relative to the game's total life cycle. In the case of an MMO, where the life cycle tends to be suitably long, soon means just that. Relatively soon.

I felt the same way, only I didn't wait to roll an alt. On my first character during early access, I quickly realized it's going to be fetch missions outside of the class quest. I've only done class quests and PvP ever since. : )

I don't really know what to tell you if you don't enjoy PvP though, as a lot of people get burnt out quickly on playing 4 maps all the time. I personally don't mind it, though, and it helps that I love Huttball.

How about don't play MMO's then. Go play Guild Wars, it allows you to create instant max level characters to PvP with.
Utinni!
