Yeah i agree I got 2 50s and soon 2 more and i Still enjoy it. I skip some quest like standard quest fetch this and kill these often in alien langue, but other than that I do listen to all dialogues.

well i guess if there doing cutscenes and voice acting.they must of not researched the areas of mmos they researched good enough.sw tor is a example of how your average player appreciates cutscenes,they just want to smash there spacebars as hard as they can and race to the finish

That's really good actually. I'm glad there are players out there that enjoy the voice acting because they've added it to this game at a very high production cost. No one is denying that SWTOR has the better voice acting, I just personally don't think it's necessary, and it is not a feature I enjoy/need to have fun in a game.

I'm worried that moving into the future it's going to keep their production costs high for new content -- and the new content will be hit/miss with players like me that would rather just spacebar.

Clearly you didn't say that Guild Wars 2 had the graphics of a PS2 game
yes I said that afterwards and I do think gw2 has ps2 like graphics.

If it helps, I think swtor is only a little better than ps2 level graphics.

Not every event has a branching system to it, some events are just on a timer. Other events have a branching dynamic to it, but right now everyone and their dog is in the same place so events really don't have much chance to fail or to branch to a different direction. Later on in the game when the population is more spread out, then you will start to see the branching events. Doesn't take long for the populations to spread out, it took what, a couple of months with SWTOR. When people are starting their alts after having played through 80 levels with their first character, the chances of them seeing a really different zone and events as compared to their first time will be pretty high, even though there will be some events that have already done, but they will see lots of events they have not.
How do you measure the success of an MMO?

they already stated it wouldnt hurt content additions. Plus most people actually prefer the story element rather than spacebaring
