Op is correct, you do end up wondering what you are going to do when you log in. Personally im leveling a 3rd alt on wz's alone(only doing class quests). Leveling another char doing same quests over and over is an absolute drag.

If i had not found some enjoyment in wz's, and having a laugh there, i doubt i would be logging in much at all anymore. This game needs the things OP has listed.
CE and ... who the frack cares. Hope we all get a good game.

Did you consider the possibility that you cleared the content at an above average pace, and that the average subscriber is still not at 50 or has cleared all the content? If that were the case it is a possibility that the existing content is just right for the bulk of subscribers, who may feel overwhelmed by all the content before them. I feel his way at the moment. I just dinged 50 have two more planets to clear, and all the bonus content on Belsavis and Voss awaiting me, as well as several flashpoints. I haven't PVPed once and operations are currently off the table (mostly because I heard they lack story content). When they released the new flashpoint, I said to myself, "Already? I'm not even close to the endgame". I have played since early access at least a little bit most days and for prolonged periods of time on weekends (6+ hours).

MMOs cannot cater to everyone's schedule. Some people will clear the content faster than others. If you are clearing the content at an above average pace, as I suspect, then you could consider unsubscribing for a bit, taking some time with other games, and then returning when they add more content for you to clear.

At the very least consider the alternatives to your favored hypothesis (i.e., that the game hasn't produced enough content). Until Bioware releases some stats on the current status of their subscribers (i.e., how many have done all the flashpoints vs how many that haven't, how many that have completed their main story arc vs how many that haven't, etc.) at most we can conclude it hasn't produced enough content for you and that it has produced more than enough content for me. So far we only have fairly useless anecdotes about the game from people that are using the forums.

Seems like you're just done with MMo's in general. Did you try rolling a different faction alt?

^^^ THIS sums it up for myself and my wife. Game is fine. If you raced to endgame meh...I am enjoying content and just now getting into more endgame stuff. Go create an alt.

Either you are crazy or you haven't played wow for years.

I leveld quite a few chars in WoW and none of them followed the same path as the others, even if we're talking about same race.

Back in Vanilla I wanted my NE to have a horse, so I took her to Elwynn at level 1, arrived level 3 only by exploring though :P

Come on, take a lvl 1 and move it from it's planet. From Tython to Ord Mantell, from Korriban to Hutta.
Oh wait! You can't!!

I played for about 2-4 hours a day, 4-6 on week ends for the last few months and I have yet to reach 50.

Erm...

I did the same thing and reached lvl 50 in less than a month, without skipping convos (except for some aliens "watchyopanky!" stuff)

Did you PvP, Collect datacrons, level multiple alts partake in guild activities? Or did you rush to the end?

I am also wonder how people expect a (relatively) new mmo to have as much content as WoW in its 4.3.

My suggestion to you would be to stop playing, wait a few month, then come back and eat up the content. Why is that so hard to do?
