Why complaining about End Game is very justifiable.

why are you still trolling here? go away already.
they make different levels to cater to different crowds.
I like this easy, some don't. rewards are different.
go play single-player or put a sandbox in your room and build castles.

The thread talking about how other threads that moan and whine are somehow just as legitimate as the actually constructive ones. My former points stand.

I'm really sick of listening to these players that complain about "**** I WAS MAX LEVEL IN 15 MINUTES OF BUYING THE GAME AND NOW I'M BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!" This game, if played properly, should be a gradual progression to max level. If you skip all of the side quests and power level, you'll never be happy with TOR because you're main concern is to get to the end game as quick as possible. This game is less than a month old and everyone is ready to quit for this reason or that reason. Just because the game has gone Gold, doesn't mean that it's finished. It just means that it was good enough to release. Roll an alt and explore the planets, do the side quests, search for lore items, locate all of the Datacrons...there's always something fun to do!

Look at t this way:

someone cooks and prepares a nice 7 course meal for you. But instead of taking the time to enjoy each course, have a nice discourse with others at the table, you take one bite out of each course, scarf down your desert and begin screaming for more desert.

Most players are still finishing their soup and starting on the main course. You are lucky the chef was nice enough to put all 7 courses on the table before the dinner started.

maybe if you didn't power level to 50 so fast you would have something to do.

If I could have my way as a developer I would design the game so that you could not do ANY end game content without completing 95% of the leveling quests. You would have to unlock it by actually playing the game as intended.
I would put as many cut-scenes into every flashpoint and operation as i could with no way to skip them and eliminate the ability for players to zerk through content, even if they outleveled it.

I am really tired of all these players with ADD/FPS syndrome whining and crying because they chose to power their way to max level and ignore the journey. Then they turn around and complain because they have nothing to do.

So to answer your question: Yes you reap what you sow buddy. While you are waiting for the majority of the playerbase to catch up, you can go play battlefield 3 or rerolll. Maybe go read a book or go outside?

Seriously, the game is offically 22 days old. You chose to powerlevel. Nobody twisted your arm.

Do you have any data whatsoever to back this up? I (presumably like you) have played a ton of MMOs, and I generally assume that people who develop games know the behaviors/habits of people who play them and what they should add more of. If a large portion of players plowed through content and were only concerned about end game material, it seems likely that either A) leveling would be harder or B) developers would put all of their time and effort into new endgame stuff. In the last few years however games have changed to cater much more heavily to "casual" users, do you think that's happenstance?

AoC's biggest problem wasn't endgame, it never was, seriously. It was a poorly conceptualized combat system (would've been great if not for casters) and a deplorable system of PvP for a game that claimed to focus on it. PvE felt tacked on in AoC and was never honestly any good after level 20. Saddens me to say that as I love the setting and wanted to love the game.


I hate this argument.

Leveling is easy in SWTOR, no question, but not everyone who plays this (or any other) MMO is a raid grinder. The end gamey "more raids plz" crowd will never be satisfied with the volume of content set aside for them even when that becomes all that developers push out. The differing tiers of raid/dungeon difficulty seriously is a great middle ground in the attempt to provide content for different groups (for those jr. raiders etc who can't handle the later tier) rather than putting out 18 different level 50 dungeons and no new leveling/midgame content.

Honestly IMO the less raids the better, unless that is BW intends to make all current dungeon's/raids also scaleable for when they eventually raise level cap. The heavy focus on end game content (other than PvP) typically ends up being an utter waste when in at most a year or so, an expansion is released and no one ever does any of that old end game content anymore. It'd be nice if developers just stopped focusing on the old "layered levels of end game" content model and just tried to develop something new/different.

This is an excellent post.

world bosses were added in i believe 2-4months after release. molten core could not be completed due to serious game breaking bugs on garr.

however. i do like your math =D

that right there - words right outta my mouth. That being said - it does feel like it has slightly less end-game than other games i've played at release recently, but not by much. I have no problem with it, enjoying the story on both sides atm. Have gotten into the story alot, and with the voice acting i even feel more "connected" (? i guess is the right word) to even the side quests.

You are wrong so it is not justifiable.

This game was designed for you to play a different faction and class, hence the legacy system and individual class storyline.

End game is not playing one character and doing all the content you can.

Unless you played every class and faction combo to 50 you have not reached end game yet. I know it's hard for people to grasp this concept but people this is 2012 not 1999 or 2004.
