Just didnt have the replay value for me.
i just can't deal with load screens. I like the game a lot but the loading screens makes me not want to play it. I have not logged in since a week after 1.3 came out. Everytime i think about playing I think about all the loading screens and all the quest that require you go back and fourth between 2 planets. The loading screen and no LFG is my main problems with the game. I have a 50 trooper and 4 other characters between 31-40. Everytime i want to log in to this game i ended up just playing D3 or logging into WoW to check my mail and post a few thing to the AH...which reminds me I should post some stuff to AH since its the weekend.
What's up with the no LFG and LFR

To be fair, I have seen a marked improvement in some of the loading screens. For example: Loading into a warzone, the Fleet, or even Ilum take a fraction of the amount of time they used to. However, planets like Belsavis, Tatoinne, Alderaan, Voss, Nar Shadaa....you get the point...still take a long - long - time to load.

They should've gave us the option of skipping all the side quests once we already did them. They could've gave us the appropriate amount of xp to lvl just to progress our story.

Because if I wanted to play through every possible AI/Levelup/PvE permutation I would play a single player game.

Knowing this, it's plausible they encouraged alt-grinding in place of their lack of an end game. How do I know this is the case? They're making a concerted effort to plumb up the end game experience (read: they know alt-grinding isn't sufficient enough to sustain end game players despite telling us it is).

This, assuming your "quote" is true and accurate.
Found it, Mr. Doubting Thomas. And since it was clear back at PAX 2010 that the statement was made by Blaine Christine, kinda hard to say the so-called "lack of content" came before that (even though TOR has more content at 5 months old than any other MMO in history, just needs its difficulty raised). Here:

I especially love the part about branching stories and how companion characters can affect different branches. Oops! Guess they forgot to put that part in.
