Ok let me start of by saying that I dislike leveling, to the point that I never read the text from the quest. I started playing a couple of weeks ago, and so far I am enjoying the game, granted I my toons are only level 11 and level 9 and the story so far is really good. I know that SWTOR has not reinvented the wheel or come up with some ground breaking mechanic, but the fact that I am enjoying the leveling process at this moment says a lot about the game. I know that this game had massive sub cancellations but I was wondering what happened? is it that the game is a major grind at higher levels? not enough raids or instances? was it pvp? I was hoping someone would shed some light on this because at this point I am not seeing the problem (Granted my toons are very low levels).
My gaming experience:
WOW - Played since 2005 and cancelled my sub this month because I just did not enjoyed daily hell (do not like dailies period) and how I am forced into them for rep.
AOC - Playing it since 2010 and like it.
Rift - Have an annual pass but did not get the expansion because my toons are low levels.
I do not play much, about 6 hours a week tops. I know I will not get very far in any game being a casual but I still like to play casually.
