I'm on Shadow's Hand right now, on Coruscant and there are currently 122 people...and there is only one (1) instance. One. Singular.

Yet you're telling us that there are multiple instances for a planet with 22 people on it.

That' I'll have to see to believe.
I hate to say anything that supports the OP's post, lol, but I was on Taris once with like 3 people total in the shard with only about 60 people in the main shard. It was the wee hours of the morning and the 3 of us must have been playing for a long, long time so the shards had been full earlier but as the size dwindled, our shard remained as long as we were still logged in. I was pretty much done for the night anyway so I didn't re-log but I obviously could have just re-logged and gotten thrown in the main shard. They really should set up some sort of pop-up option to switch to the main shard when the shard pops get low like that. However, if your shard is low in pop and you aren't in the main shard, you should re-log (without totally backing out of the game so you don't have to get stuck with a que) or re-zone so you can end up in the main shard which is more populated.

The rest of the OP's post might as well be a copy and paste from the usual trolls so need to comment on the rest of it.

It is NOT more of an MMO. Absolutely 100% dead wrong. It needs quite a bit of work and support, especially at endgame, for your statement to be true.
No, I meant MMO. End game is fine, new planet and fp soon? what?

2. Fully voiceover. It just doesn't work. It's a game, not a film. Gameplay is a substance, not staring on monitor. You only made accepting quests more annoying by mashing space several times. I always choose second line and dark side when I have an option. But does it change anything? Besides some numbers in my character pane, access to some items and scars on my face, NO IT DOESN'T.

3. PvP. No brackets, you throw everyone in one tier. How lvl20 is supposed to compete with capped player with such a limited skill pool!? Open world pvp? I won't even comment that, you have already tons of topics regarding this matter. So far PvP in this game is the worst I've ever experienced.

4. Enviroment is poor, world feels desolated and immersion is extremally lacking.

I don't know how you gonna fix these issues or better question would be if you even attempt to do this, but something must be done.

1. Is it really that bad to just hop over worlds for some server stability? This is a lazy player issue, the jump to the next instance is not cumbersome.

2. Voice acting is only as entertaining as you give it the chance to be, if you're ready to move on, or just hit space bar the entire time then of course you're going to be as about as immersed as a guy with wet socks, just enough to tick you off but not give you the fun of swimming.

3. PVP is to each their own, but I've seen plenty of players contribute to the team without being horribly hindered by the lack of skills or talents. Brackets would be a good addition due to the imbalance that skills/talents provide, but the game certainly doesn't feel awful.

4. Your world complaint directly correlates to your participation in the story, and based on your choice for #2, I'm doubting you've participated much.

The developers have plenty in store for all of these facets of the game, as well as many more new things.

I have to agree with pretty much every point.

The game is still fresh and exciting and I am having fun, but I can see the points becoming larger issues as the game ages. Bio has time to remedy them though.
