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.
You leveled through PVP? All the way? I don't mind PVP. Wish there was an alternative way to get to 50.

I like leveling in wow much more than I do in swtor right now. The reason for that is because I can choose where to level, there is more diversity there than swtor will ever have due to the nature of how the game was designed.

Great on paper bioware, but not in the real world.

Things you should do:
*Increase xp gained through warzones
*Add more planets or zones on the available planets
*Include an LFG tool to enable people leveling up in dungeons
*Add "leveling" gear to the game (hint: xp increse).

Forced? How about just don't play if you don't enjoy it?

No one is forcing you to do anything.

WoW is only diverse for what you are doing because it is on 8 years of content xpacs and patches. In the first year of WoW, there was 1 patch to follow to level (undead would level to 10 then head to Orcs so that was a little different)

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.

Nothing is ever forced onto you.

The linear leveling is one of my biggest complaints about TOR. While it is true that for the time being there is nothing that can be done about how linear the leveling is we can at least push for Bioware to change that for any future leveling content. Non-linear leveling is not something that is somehow impossible. It is simply that it is too late to change what they already have and would definitely be a test for them to do so in the future considering the overall design of the game. To be fair, WoW's leveling process became far more linear when TBC was launched. Vanilla WoW had great options to choose where you leveled so that the content could be very different from 1 to 60 from one character to the next. The expansions pretty much put a stop to that. Across three expansions thus far your only real leveling choices come at the beginning, end, or both.
