Why don't you play all 8 class story lines?

I agree with you that redoing quests can be tedious at times, that aside, don't you find a bit of a challenge (and for me that equates to fun) learning how to play the other Classes/ACs? Learning the most efficient PVE and PVP rotations? Learning how to obtimise each class (there are differences)?

I played 4 classes to 50.

Trooper (commando), 2x bounty hunters (I'm a masochist, 1 pt 1 merc) and a juggernaut.

To begin, they broke my favorite class (both the commando and merc), but the reason I don't play all 8 classes is because the *********** "main" story arc for each world is so repetitive, and the class story makes up so little of your questing experience, that it's insanely boring.

Because I can watch them on youtube without all the same sidequests x8.

This.

Coupled with the fact that, after playing through three storylines, you realize that none of your decisions actually make any kind of impact on the world around you and the majority of the time don't even change the dialogue. When you see your character repeat the same rehashed answers over and over, you begin to realize how overrated the story in TOR really is.

it doesn't take very long to learn how to play a class.

yea. I was pretty disheartened when I finally realized my alts were saying the exact same things.

Because
1) Jedi Consular
2) VERY Generic quests over and over and ... over.
3) Only class quests/animations has some sort of variety and there isn't even lots of class quests
4) What's the point paying for short and boring storylines every month that includes only a few class quests in each planet?

i play only republic classes
got all 4 so far and lvling them
i will not touch imps cuz of no cross faction chat
when i play different faction, nobody can find me to call me for a run with my main

Because I can't stand the Empire side. I've had Smug/Trooper/Consular to 40+ and currently working on a Knight. I've tried several times to play an Imp character but can't even make it past Dromund Kaas. I think it's the NPCs. Does every character on Empire side have to be a generally terrible person? And the few times I ran Black Talon people chose the DS options just to be evil even if they made no sense. Just not for me.

For me, Id prefer to just do my class story to level
Doing every planet 8 times is a little over kill for me.
Just finishing up the Republic classes

I wish I could I really want to experience all the stories for myself more than once and I wish I could play my bounty hunter story again

but there is no way i am grinding 8+ characters through all those generic quests that don't tie in to the main character story or planet story. the ones that are the same quests over and over through the same enemies with the same pointless time sinks running back to the same areas. all the minor quests really make it hard to focus on and follow the story too, they should of went for quality not quantity and made the quest feel more like flash points. I just dont have the time to grind through mandatory generic content.

honestly I would play this game 50 times all the way through and experience every piece of dialog and story if:
- you got enough xp from class quests and main planet arc, other quests optional for rewards and minimal extra xp
- no cool down on quick travel
- turn in quest from your holo communicator
- exits at the end of "dungeon" type areas [like there is in flashpoints or just a exit back into open world]
- no restrictions on speeders anywhere
- usefull drops I hate how mmos seem to inflate the economies with useless items and you never get anything good it feels more like that in tor and everything I use is bought or crafted. loot drops aren't even gtn quality they just go straight to vendor for no credits.

- [and just for fun] no dragon age writers I am pointing my finger at you guys for some of the bad characters and dialog. for some reason some of the dialog and characters at quest hubs seem so "fantasy" and not like someone from the starwars universe. there needs to be a strong litmus test for writers knowledge of eu and starwars stories
