Why non-stop alt leveling will fail.

I have yet to meet a majority of persons more interested in leveling an alt than that of the populace that's more interested in achieving max level (quickly) and playing end game. I have heard time and time, again and again by unbiased players, that they're not concered with a story line, it's the end game that's the beginning of the game.

PvP in all fairness, is not repetitive

I have heard a few times that end game is the only game. OP, you state that most MMO gamers feel this way.

Sorry but I must disagree with that statement. I don't know where you get your ideas about most gamers (from the forums?), but every single gamer I know wants a rich MMO experience from beginning to end and beyond.

Personally, story/lore is very important to me. The journey is the most fun for me. When I reach "the end," even in a game with excellent endgame content, I feel the wind go out of my sails. I prolong the journey as long as I can.

To that end, since leveling is ridiculously fast in swtor, I have:
1. a level 41 imp op dps
2. a level 14 imp op healer
3. a level 26 assassin
4., 5, 6. some low level sith and a bh

and on another server
7, 8, 9, 10. a few jedi padawans and a lowbie smuggler waiting for my attention.

I do agree this alt push by BW won't work for long for many people, but not because the endgame is the only game. It will fail because many people like to focus on a main character. I'm the same, actually. I love alts, but as a side amusement. I attach myself to my main as we embark on our several-year long journey (not month long journey to the endgame).

Cut leveling times and focus only on endgame... why bother with leveling at all? Why bother with an MMO at all??



For you TL/DR types: To have a game be successful longterm, it can't rely solely on alts to keep people occupied. However, beginning middle and endgame are equally important.

Fair post other than the above, the current state of PvP is extremely repetitive and IMO bordering on a disgrace.

Assuming your own personal experience can even be taken seriously as proof, you really think WoW has 10 million people playing now?

Your post is moot. OF COURSE there are not 1.7 million people playing everyday.

Now you see this is the type of thing i dont understand, pvp is repetative how exactly, that your playing on the same map and going up against the same mob and tactics.

Ow wait no you arnt, you maybe playing the same maps but your facing off against other players. I love my pvp as much as i love my FPS, i played BF2 right until BF3 came out, same maps for years.

Did it get repetative no, and why ? because i pvp and fps to go up against other people, to help the team win. If you think pvp is repetative then your taking the concept of player vs player in the wrong mindset.
