What you are sugesting is to change the whole design of the game.

I am not opposed to it, but this wont happen in a patch. If it does it will be in an expansion and a new planet/world.

I wouldn't mind dailies if more of an overall story was tied to it.

I mean, with a little creativity, you could make dailies starting from Dromund Kaas/Coruscant to Corellia all at level on the planet as an alternate means to levelling, letting you actually earn enough Planetary coms to be able to use the gear advertised on the planet while still actually on the planet for once.

And even better, Tie all the dailies to a story happening at the same time as the events the player encounters 1-50 (but same story for everyone on republic side and same for empire, ala Makeb), and you could have some real fun with an alternate story - plus it would give something to do instead of the same planetary quests over and over and over when you are grinding up more classes to 55.

If done right, and if infused with a continuous story - dailies could be a really fun alternative to the usual re-grind malaise.

I dont like dailies either. They get real boring real fast.

But like someone above me posted, they are optional.

The problem is that there isnt a whole lot to do if you like to play daily but dont want to do the dailies. Even FP's get old.

Which is why I havnt logged into the game hardly the last couple of weeks. I logged in to check out the new Czerka stuff. Did the new dailies, then went to Mekab to begin the daily grind... did a heavy sigh.. then logged off.

Just not interested in them anymore. And since I dont really like alts, I choose the option to just not play.

The question to myself is.. How long do I choose the option to just not play before I just cancel my sub.

That would be a step up, although I still don't condone the use of daily quests. Please post your idea on the suggestion box thread. Let's get some changes made!

This is exactly why the devs should take a VERY close look at what I'm suggesting. They don't want to lose more players and players don't want a diminished player base.

'shrugs' Dailies bring in money faster than anything else. I like them, because the more they unlock and the more money I get the more stuff I can do.

Meh, I have my doubts as to the usefulness so not going to bother.

But for me, I do like dailies. Never liked the original batch which were spread out all over on belsavis and Ilum, but the more compact daily areas like the Black Hole or the new Czerka Planet I actually am a fan of, because I like the use of them for quick cash.

I'd love to see daily hubs on each planet for that planet's level as an alternative to the planetary story lines. Even better to have a story behind the daily, but if I can't get that, sometimes you just want to get to 55 ASAP and a daily grind on the pre-50 planets would help with $$ and planetary coms for when you get there, and would actually encourage you to gear up on that planet while you still are there, rather than having to pick and choose 1 or 2 items before outlevelling the planet entirely - which is the norm once you grow past level 16.

I get you don't like it and its not for everyone, but don't speak for me in your hatred of dailies. What you should be calling for is more story at the lower ends - I totally support that. I want new adventures leveling up.

Blizzard didn't invent dailies.

Its fine to be against something, but what would replace them?

I'm fine with TOR dailies because they aren't really needed for anything, but they do allow me to get some quick credits when I need them, so I can just mostly ignore them.

And these major updates that you're waiting for? Makeb was one, as was Czerka. What are they? A huge pile of daily quests. The dungeons from the Czerka update are laughable. They had almost no story and were about as exciting as mowing the lawn.

So, what it comes down to is you and others of your mind set farming boring monotonous daily quests until the next "major update" which will consist of...guess what? More daily quests. I'm sorry man, your decent content is never coming unless we make it happen.

Please respond on the suggestion box thread I linked.
in ROTHC you got Makeb with a full planetary storyline on both sides, a new content system in seeker droids and Macrobinoculars and new Operation

In 2.3 You got Tauntaun questline, A new companion and 2 new flashpoints and Alot of FUN pvp, not forgeting a bounty contract event.

All of these were what I call GREAT CONTENT not decent and with 2.4 we are getting

Ranked Season 1
A New Planet Oricon with storyline
2 New Operations
Arenas

That sounds like substantial content to me.

If this is not what you call content then maybe this isn't hte game for you

Your clearly trying to turn this game into something that it's not. You need to come to terms that this is a themepark game and dailies are apart of it
