I'm not a programmer so I won't speculate on how hard this would be to program. I assume that it isn't trivial or they would have done it already.
There`s a difference between wanting a challenge and nitpicking. For instance, you could gimp your gear and/or skip planet quests in order to keep level low.. and heroics for that matter. Only class 5 missions per planet will have you severely underleveled quite nicely.

With reg xp, rested bonus,xp buffs and double xp weekends it starts to feel like leveling is pointless and everyone should just start at 55. Whats the point of leveling at all when there is less and less Challenge to it? It can be very frustrating to out-level what you are doing so fast, and it has to be annoying as heck for new people, out leveling the content, then much slower leveling come Monday.

Xp isn't the only reward in the game, it would be great if there was an option to not do double xp, or even to turn off your leveling all together, (Behsten/Slahtz anyone?).

FYI:
"Yes, we all know what Alt/f4 is" ,
"Not playing (no xp) doesn't solve the problem of wanting less xp,"
"I like to play on the weekend"
"My 55's are boring"
"If you don't understand why some people don't want to level so fast, then re-read this post"
"Yes I use to be a nube, so I do get why leveling fast can be important"
Go F2P/Preferred... Leveling might be more on-par with your wishes then (not during double xp weekends tho, but they still won't be as bad for you as they are now.)

I'm obviously not privy to all of the inner details, but it seems to little-'ol-me that this should be a fairly trivial request. Put a check box in preferences for "Enable 2XP" that is set by default.

I love 2XP, but even I am a bit bewildered why this has gone ignored for so long, over and over and over and over again.

You can always play without using a companion if you want more of a challenge.

If something that is a seemingly simple request goes unanswered for a very long time it most likely means that it's not as simple as people think.

Ay least I don't have my complaints in my signature.

Not sure where you have been for the past decade but the leveling process in MMOs in general hasn't exactly been "challenging" since the first (late 90's EQ, AC, UO, Lineage) and second (early 2000's FFXI, DAoC, Lineage 2, etc) generations of MMOs.

There is no MMO in the U.S. market right now (that I know of) which has a leveling pace that even remotely approaches the degree of grind associated with those above games. If you thought leveling in TOR is too easy and not challenging enough, you must have not played DDO or CoH/CoV during its final 2-3 years prior to its shut down.

It's such an insignificant portion of the community that wants this that it will never happen. Move on and stop b itching about it.

I wasn't involved in that, but it might have something to do with the fact that that is a freaking stupid reason to unsub.
Unsubscribed due to no new Operations.
I am happy that there will be a renewed focus on story, I love story, its why I picked this MMO. But I picked an MMO, not an episodic single player RPG that I have to pay a subscription to receive the episodes.

1) Have you tried leveling a character without their pet? ...or grouping?
2) Also, try leveling a character without the subscription benefits.
