Legacy Perks in Game Update 1.3

I think you're missing the point - which is specifically that the 2 months of doing every daily on 8 characters (which is probably going to be a full day's work) is an unnecessary grind. There's no accomplishment in it, it's just how much time you dumped into doing dailies instead of leveling alts.

Even in this hypothetical "doing dailies on 8 characters" scenario you already have 8 50s, and thus have passed the period where legacy perks would be most beneficial.

I like leveling alts. Putting the perks in makes leveling alts nicer, IF you can afford it. How can you afford it? Playing level 50 characters is by far the most efficient way to make money. Therefore the dev logic here is that to make leveling alts more pleasant, you must spend your time not leveling alts. Please just reward us based on legacy level, or cut the costs down by at least an order of magnitude. And no more of this "customize your character!" ******** - paying 8x for the same perks instead of paying once to give your legacy the bonus is some of the most offensive mislabeling I've been exposed to in a game. It's a thinly veiled money sink, call it what it is.

With those kind of prices I find the whole thing to be a total waste of resources by BW that could have been deployed on more useful projects for the game.

This will certainly not encourage me to roll more alts and spend time leveling them or encourage me to extend my subscription

You could just still do the quests you know. Or...why not control how much you do, this way you don't out level anything? You don't need a button or whatever to slow/stop XP....you just need to control what you do.

I want to extend the time I play 1-49, not shorten it. I would pay for exp reduction character perks, I will not buy anything presently offered.

The content is not meant to be skipped, if that were the case they'd have never put it into the game.

To me Swtor is an interactive movie, you don't sit down to watch the Godfather then get up and walk away when Michael goes to the bathroom. Walking away from an entire planet or skipping an entire quest chain feels much the same.

I understand the quests can still be done while they are gray, I've done them while gray with my Sage and Assassin. The immersion factor disappears when Qyzen is able to solo 5 orange elites by himself, and the Assassin's Maul 1 shots everything.

It's the equivalent of watching a movie in fast forward, sure you'll see the entire movie but you won't be able to divulge in the movie as the director intended and it simply won't be as enjoyable.

The only way presently for me to be able to do all quest chains at level is to skip all the other content, warzones, flashpoints, space missions, and most heriocs. Right now if I wanted to enjoy all the leveling content with a particular class I'd have to make 3 characters to do it, which is fine, If I have to level 3 Operatives to 50 to enjoy the entire game I will do it but I'm going to run out of character slots really quickly.
