Really? When did they put that feature into the game?

Or is it that you choose to skip planetary quests?

Since I already know the answer to that question, I'll ask the logical follow-up. Why do you choose to skip planetary quests?
You know what I mean. When you do a planet quest almost 10 lvls higher than the trash, it makes the content really boring.

Also, even without double xp I can finish Alderaan at lvl 35, I don't know why ppl cry about this when lvling is already too easy.

It's all about "I need to get to lvl 50(55) ASAP." Afterwards you ask, "what'd you think of the story?" "What story?"
Query: Is there someone that you need killed master?

Exactly as I thought. Your response is confused.

If the content is "too easy", then strip off some gear and/or dismiss your companion. Then you can see the story with at least a bit of challenge.

By the way, even when they're yellow, the quests do not approach "challenging" - they never even approach threatening my character with a defeat. So the "difficulty" point is sort of moot, isn't it?

If you're interested in seeing the story, the challenge of the content is irrelevant. I mean, how hard is it to watch a good movie or read a good book? It's not like there's an 8 year old constantly trying to nut-kick you while you do those things, but you still enjoy them for story, right?

I'm all for this. Going to Taris at lvl 22 takes all the fun out of the game. Then I have to skip planetary quests and it's just like why bother?
I am seriously stunned and in utter disbelief. Did I just saw someone express regret at having to skip Republic Taris sidequests? Stars and comets, I would pay for being able to skip Pub Taris!

I normally do 2x XP on the starting characters to be able to skip boring quests (and the inane bonus missions of the Twelve Kills of SWTOR) that I have done multiple times, so I can see what appeals to me, and stuff

The simplest answer is always the best . I will never understand why people would not want double xp.

This has been addressed several times in the past. There's a difference between not understanding it and not acknowledging it.

There's always this option.

Though, for me, I may choose to not log in until Double-XP Week (I just told my secretary I'm taking that week off ... we already had Friday off anyway ... July 4 and all). I've been leveling up the last three classes I haven't played to 50 (to see their class stories), and I'm getting close to being done. Rather than slog my Marauder, Trooper, and Smuggler through Belsavis, Voss, and Corelia using feeble +25% XP buffs, I may just wait for DXP Week and wrap them all up then.

You'll find a fringe element exists in everything.
There's about a dozen or so people who feel that their sacred gaming experience is totally and utterly destroyed if the little number beside their character portrait increases faster than normal.
Fortunately, they're like one of those little yappy dogs... They make a lot of noise, but nobody takes them seriously.

Talk about overgeneralization. Plain said, both the idea and those who try to convey it.

It's akin to claiming that everyone who plays MMO's lives with their mommy, in the latter's basement and goes a whole year without taking a bath.
