Yes, I could level trough PvP.However, the Warzones don't award enough EP to be able to keep up with pure questing-EP, especially after lvl 2x. Also I miss a lot of talents and abilities, which puts me really in a disadvantage against higher levels.

So could someone please tell me why i'm forced to play content I don't enjoy at all? Why is the content I enjoy (PvP, Class Quests (( and flash points)) ) not awarding the same EP as questing?
This post wins todays Fur Lined Bathtub award for pathetic posting.

I am not sure what the OP expects, does he want a free level 50 character given to him just because he wants it NOW DAMNIT? Does he not understand that in video games and mmos one has to play through content of some sort to level up and if he wants to avoid certain content then it will take longer to level up? Is the OP really capable of posting any sort of argument that does not sound like an uninformed whine? Inquiring minds want to know.

So, come May 14th... this MMO ends for me.
So what are you going to do after 2 weeks of Diablo 3 (about how long it will take to get bored), and the time Guild Wars 2 Launches (since they don't even have a date yet)?

Why do people keep comparing this game with Diablo 3? They are not even close to the same type of game.
It's like comparing SWToR with Halo, MW3, Gears of War.

It seems to me that the challenge your speaking about is that this is a story..quest oriented game that includes some pvp...not a pvp game that has some token questing.....I'm not saying you are wrong orbthat you leave etc...however I do think that the heart of the issue your raising has at it's core e fact that this in eve or war hammer or any of the other pvp oriented mmos. I suspect that this game will never be thebright game forbwhat you desire.

Not if you know how to use what you've got. My level 10 Trooper cleaned up in huttball and we won so we got good XP. I think you will find that running 3 warzones per hour is pretty good xp. I know as your level gets higher the missions give a lot more but for lower levels the wz xp is good enough. Also 1.3 will help with the XP buffs for PvP.

Another idea is to run the class missions and the heroics on each planet. Heroics are quick, can be repeated daily, give good stuff and good xp. You can probably even run the green plus 2s from the previous planet solo.

And how many years has WoW been around to create all that content?

Not exactly a apples to apples comparison given the time factor.

So, I also believe there should be a way to curtail our way to 50 (presuming the existence of another lv 50 in the same Legacy) without having to redo content.
And just like everyone has told him, there are ways to do this.

You could level through space missions or PvP. I wouldn't recommend the space mission route, but I've done the PvP route 3 times and it is perfectly viable.

In the future, Legacy will boost your xp from doing whatever you like (PvP, PvE, etc).

Barring that, you can always quit if you just don't feel like doing ANYTHING to get to 50 again. I mean, I generally don't do things for entertainment that aren't... entertaining. I definitely don't pay to do so.

They aren't forcing you to do anything - including playing the game.
