...why is this such a big surprise?
No-one said it was a surprise. Most people just said it was what was putting them off playing all 8 class stories.
Jedi Master Kai'sinn. Not only evil hides in the shadows.
Jedi Master Tzathali. Korriban/Tython Exchange Program.
Major Dulne. Nothing will stop Havoc Squad, Sir.

Like they had done everything the game had to offer. Personally, my highest level character is only level 44 because I constantly switch around between the 8 class stories. They're all very interesting to me. I can't help myself.

Is it just that the other 7 don't appeal to you? Or are you maybe stuck in the old MMO "my character is me" frame of mind? Again, I'm not trying to say you're wrong for your play style, I'm just curious as to what makes you not want to experience the other stories in the game as well.

Heck, to me, thanks to the different animations for mirror classes + light and darkside, I have 16 characters total, one of every AC in the game with one of each class being LD and one being DS. I'll eventually experience each story twice, though each one will be through a different perspective thanks to the LS/DS system. I did the same thing in KOTOR 1 and 2.

My biggest problem is sticking with one story at a time... at this rate, the LFG tool will be out before I ever even experience end game (though I am trying my best to finish up my Vanguard).

I have 7 of 8 classes completed and 450 bonus presence for doing so. At some point, leveling gets redundant - even with new stories. They need a way to go back and watch your story (which will never happen unless they continue to get large amounts of development dollars... which will probably start to dry up from EA).

I have 4 50s, 1 47 done with the class story, and 2 32s. It's easy to mix up what side quests you do while leveling (sometimes I can skip whole planets if I integrate different bonus series) so that I don't repeat that many; most of the time I do them out of convenience only. One notable exception being the starter/capitol worlds, probably doesn't help that you have to run the whole time on those. Not sure why people who say it is repetitive are upset about choosing to do the same thing over and over when it's not forced on you. I also mixed up mirror ACs so that I play the opposite role for more variation in actual gameplay as well.

All video games are repetitive if you play them enough. If you choose to repeat the same thing over and over while leveling in this game, then (from my experience) you have no one to blame but yourself.

I have 2 level 50s, a lvl 40, a couple of level 30s and the rest of the classes are in the high teens. Class Story is great but after a while repeating all the other ones gets really tedious. You can skip them and PVP but then all the travel time going to and for from planets gets annoying. In a way, the class stories gave the game a lot more replayability but the linear nature of the rest of the questing really negates that.

Believe me, I'm working on it!

I've finished one story (Jedi Knight) and about 99% finished with Sith Warrior -- currently gearing up for the boss fight that I suspect is right around the corner. I'm also approaching the end of Chapter 2 with my Smuggler.

I figure it will take me another ten months, maybe less, to finish all the stories. But I'm also doubling up a few classes to replay them...I want to replay Jedi Knight as a Sentinel build, and I want to replay Sith Warrior with Dark Jaesa.

I am actually going through each of the story lines one by one, though i have thoroughly enjoyed the inquisitor and warrior story lines and have started two toons on a different server to do the light/darkside options for both. All in all, I'm balancing time between 13 toons.

Curious then, what do you currently do with your one character at 50?

Because it isn't worth grinding through all the other quests I've done already just to occasionally read new text (class story). It was great the first time because I hadn't seen all the "normal" non class quests before. Now I have.

So now it's like telling yourself "I have this book here I want to read, but I'm going to force myself to do jumping jacks for 20 minutes before reading each page"

Meanwhile you can just go on youtube, skip all the grinding of old content you did before, and just watch the entire class story there if that's what you're playing for...and you can do it without killing 10 space boars again.
