So, I did Hammer Station and Athiss until I got to level 23. Now, I can go to Taris, do my class story line and move on.

Honestly, this is one of the main reason I can't wait for the LFG tool. I love doing FPs and being able to spam them for a few days so I don't have to repeat certain planets will be very cool.
You will bennifit from the 1.3 legacy perk to switch emphasis from regular questing to doing flash points option.

I don't really like that it's one or the other, but if there's some sort of toggle, I'd be completely fine with it.

For me it's the lack of leveling paths. I've already done all the side quests, why would I want to do them again?

Most people don't, that's why they don't want to re-roll. It's the same reason people are quitting in droves at endgame, its all just repetitive content with no larger goal. I don't want to do the same daily quests over and over every day.

Even WoW has daily quests on a rotation so it takes a couple weeks just to see them all so its slightly different all the time.
I tell you this: though neither he nor they yet know it, he is the greatest of all the Jedi. Jacen Solo is the living Jedi dream. Even without the Force, he is more dangerous than you can possibly imagine."

I've got several characters and one thing I did was first get them all to level 10....This way, the ones you aren't playing are accumulating rested XP(on a greater scale). I have taken my Smuggler, Jedi Knight, and Jedi Consular through Taris and have only done the bonus series on Consular, and all three had a little overlap on the non-class quests, but for the most part they went different routes. Of course, I tend to do the Space operations that give XP(if it only grants 5XP for the mission, I skip them) as well.... Throw in any flashpoints or warzones and I've been able to level through at least the first few planets after Coruscant on those three characters in pretty different manners. Nar Shaddaa was somewhat similar, but towards the end they did change things up a bit.

I find if you do space missions at least once per level you can have a relatively new experience the second and even third time around. But the key is rested XP. Heck, on tattooine the Smuggler went to the north side of Anchorhead quests(in the cantina) and the Consular took the south side. Both got through it doing I think only 3 or 4 of the same quests.


Granted Bonus Series is pretty much the same but you can do different side-quests that are around the bonus series quest givers...

I don't play all the 8 classes, because even with my main I can't get things done at end-game. I'm in a Standard server, in a big and relatively active guild, and I can't proceed in the end-game because people just don't want to do end-game Flashpoints so I could finish them and proceed to the Operations. And if I can't do these things with my main, why should I try to bring forth alts?

Another things are the Datacrons. Some of them just are so hard that the very idea of doing them with alts irritates me. Hours of misery.

So, I've abandoned my alts and do dailies with my main and hunt for pieces of lore now and then.
Think of this: If you will play a Jedi or a Sith, now you will never get to take your apprentice to fight with you in flashpoints, warzones or raids. You will never face together any of the big end-game bosses.

They're all very interesting to me. I can't help myself.

Is it just that the other 7 don't appeal to you? Or are you maybe stuck in the old MMO "my character is me" frame of mind? Again, I'm not trying to say you're wrong for your play style, I'm just curious as to what makes you not want to experience the other stories in the game as well.

Heck, to me, thanks to the different animations for mirror classes + light and darkside, I have 16 characters total, one of every AC in the game with one of each class being LD and one being DS. I'll eventually experience each story twice, though each one will be through a different perspective thanks to the LS/DS system. I did the same thing in KOTOR 1 and 2.

My biggest problem is sticking with one story at a time... at this rate, the LFG tool will be out before I ever even experience end game (though I am trying my best to finish up my Vanguard).
I will. then there will come the transfer and I will be forced to pay 8 transfer fees which is absurd. I'm sticking to one character until BW clears this out, which will never happen until 1.3 arrives.

The class story lines are fun to do, each one is different.

It's the other "generic" planet quests that get old after the first few times.
And you have to do about 6 "generic" quests for each class story quest or you fall behind in levels.

How many times have I done the Czerka lab quests on Tatooine?
Too many.
You do not stop playing games because you get old,
you get old because you stop playing games.

There's really not much difference between the story lines. Worse the planet quest lines are all static. By the time you're 15 you've saved a planet and millions of people. Rinse repeat until you're 50. Unfortunately nobody but you and a handful of npcs know. Also every planet you visit you save that planet from some nefarious plot using a planetary weapon/ancient relic of mass destruction. Really the amount of ultra-destructive super-weapons that exist in this universe is mindblowing. How is the empire/republic/pirates/unknown secrect club able to afford building all these? And how is the galaxy still intact?

Point is you could only save the galaxy from imminent destruction so many times before it gets stale.
