I would suggest some cream for the bed sores on your behind.

An exercise program that involves an hour of walking or at least being on your feet (blood clots in your legs are extremely dangerous) per day.

oh, and if you are still alive after an hour of brisk walking, roll an alt.
Stop exploding you cowards!

This is 2012 now. Most MMOs make leveling insanely easy. If you are going to make leveling that easy, you need to have more end game content at release to keep people busy at max level.
It didn't take months to get to L50 when WoW came out. Took me maybe 2 weeks, then I had nothing to do for a week or so because WoW had basically no endgame at all when it came out. I said the same thing about WoW that people say about SWTOR now.

Then I canceled before my free month was finished and went back to playing EQ1. Oh, and I was done with college working full time also, so it wasn't like I was playing 80+ hours a week to level either. WoW was just retarded easy after playing EQ1 for 5 years. TOR is just as easy, but it has a lot more endgame at release than WoW did.

And arguing that SWTOR should be released with as much as WoW has now is just silly. If that were the case, we would all still be playing EQ1 because there still isn't another MMO that even comes close to the sheer ridiculous number of raids that EQ1 has. Not to mention the enormous level and alternate advancement grind to even get to a point where any endgame raiding guild would want you in EQ1.

People complain about lack of content in every MMO I have played...go play through EQ's 16 expansions worth of raiding. It will probably take you at least a year of heavy playing. Sure the graphics aren't that great, but sadly, it's still a better MMO than 95% of the games made since.

The truth is, nobody wants to play a game like EQ1 that consumes a huge amount of time anymore. People just want their pvp playgrounds with easy to get purples. Well, now you have it...congrats.

And that right there is your mistake.

You have not considered the implication that SW:TOR is a story driven game. In its structure it resembles more a book or a movie than a repetitive grinding game like the ones you are used to.
At the end of a book you read 'the end', and at the end of a movie you have the hero shot followed by music swelling and credits starting to roll. In this game, at level 50, you have played through an incredible and hopefully satisfying story. If you have chosen to play it that way, that is. But at that point the story is over. You may return to it, like rereading a chapter in a book you enjoyed, and play your hero (or villain) again just to keep the memory alive. That is what the hard mode and nightmare flashpoints are for.

And there are 7 more books in the series, 15 more if you play through both advanced classes. Plus you get to see each story played out from a light side or darkside perspective since you have that option as well, not to mention trying to stay in the middle and all the other challenges that this game has and that you apparently ran past without even noticing in your conditioned journey to the 'end'.

If it took you two months to reach 'the end' with your first character, then there is 14 months more of content for you to play through. Or 30. Or 94 if you are planning on exploring the game exhaustively.
Surely long before that time the developers have added new things for your favourite first character to do. Maybe written a new book about him. Or added quite a few more chapters.

No, no there wasn't, it just took A LOT longer to hit level cap in wow, so when you finally hit level cap you had the illusion that this stuff was in at launch day 1.

It baffles me that there apparently are loads of "full-time" gamers, where do you get the time/money to play a computer game all day?

good points actually.

Although it actually takes an extremely longtime to get full battlemaster imo, im 50 valor and put in about 100 hours on pvp alone, im not even half way.

If your already outta stuff to do then its your own fault.
You seem to have lightning emanating from your fingertip's, could you please stop it?

Well speaking for myself. I would love to see mini game's, solo dungeons that take many many hours to complete , missions that grant off the wall rewards. And just daily FUN event's to do with our buds or solo. These would really improve the game a lot.

I really hope it's not just more and more of the same being added each month.

my guild is pretty much geared at both sides of the coin and we have literally NOTHING to do....?

bioware do you plan to add anything to keep us playing this MMO that has such potential and is wasted on voice acting that ends at 50...?

in MMO's end game is where the game starts for a large proportion of MMO players? since i have no reason to leave the fleet or nothing atall to do? what now? theres no exotic pet mounts to collect? no misc fun stuff? no gear other than what we have?

now what is my question?

i'de also like to suggest that that the raid content you provided takes less than 2 hours to complete on hard mode for both instances and a slight bit more for nightmare could i suggest a shorter lockout?

so can you atleast give me an incentive to play this game?

anything will do?
Get a life? You will see the game has plenty more content after that.

Also, you can always level some alts. Might also be a stretch, but maybe you could play the game cause its FUN to do so?

Oh noes i dont have a carrot to run after cause i ate them all already! QQ...

If you bothered to inform yourself about the game you would see theres more content on its way already on 1.2 and there more planned at least until 1.5 on each patch.
I know... QQ is soooo much easier innit?
