Vote for Legacy "straight-to-50" option

i could see like a 1% to 5% bonus being nice for each 50, but definitely not a 50% boost

Against.

The strongest part of the Old Republic is levellng and playing through the many stories that it holds. Those stories come to a rather blunt drop once you reach level 50 and just turn into the grind game.

Why would you ever want to implement a feature to skip the best part of the game so you can go do the worst part?

1000 times against.

I vote Against. Why should you skip to level 50? That is missing an amazing part of the game, LEVELING!

Many of you are clearly not reading the full OP, or if you are, you're not getting the part where you'd have to have Legacy Level 50 as a minimum requirement, which usually (but not always) means you're already done the whole "levelling" bit enough times on a few alts where now you're just mindlessly grinding and not really "enjoying" it. Of course this is only the case for some people, not all.

Anyway, the negatives have apparently won, so let this thread die now...

AGAINST. Leveling is a pain in the *** when you've done the quests several times over but with insta-ding there would be zero sense of achievement! (I am legacy 50 btw). Also anything BW add to legacy with a requirement they BYPASS with the Cartel Coins option! So some 13 yr old with daddys pin number "buys" level 50 on all his toons and i have clueless retard blundering into ops and wzs.... so yeah thats a HELL NO from me.

No, your full OP post doesn't justify it, that's all. It simply isn't a good idea.

I've played Monopoly a lot of times too. Should my friends and I skip everything and just do Rock-Scissors-Paper to determine who wins and give them all the Monopoly money? That would be as stupid as insta-50. Just cancel your subscription if you don't want to play.

I think a +7.5% boost to +XP per level 50 character would be a nice thing. But you would still have to level to 50 naturally... being able to skip to level 50 would be awful. I would be slightly tempted to skip, but if I did, I would miss out on something that's not quantifiable.

Characters are supposed to be developed slowly from level 1 --> 50 naturally, which is when you get to see a lot of different equipment on your character. During leveling is when I slowly decide what permanent set of (socketed) equipment I would like my character to wear.

It wasn't my idea. I saw it mentioned on another thread/s where I saw plenty of interest in it, thought it might have some benefits to veterans, and made a voting thread about it. Clearly this inspires staunch negatives and I see almost none of those who seemed to be interested. So, that's it. End of story, end of thread, far as I'm concerned.

For those that thought/think I have a vested interest (Glowrod: "If you don't like the game cancel your subscription"): This wasn't about me. I didn't even vote for or against. I am surprised at how intese the negatives are. I just don't see the big deal if such a thing were implemented. I just don't. The "you'd have newb 50s with lowbie gear running around queing for HMs ruining everything for everyone" is just an asinine stance. For starters, fresh 50s get the "welfare" gear (Tionese/Recruit) which is good enough for any HMs except LI. And the "skill" to play your class... well, I agree that there could be people that don't know their class queing for HMs, but I have a bit more faith in that either player's already know how the mechanics work or if they don't, they would be intimidated from queing in HMs until they've learned their class via dailies, for example...

All that said... just let this thread die, please.
