Hello,
And good-bye TOR! Although I put in just as much effort/time/dedication to reach max level (while enjoying leveling up, mind you trolls/fans) as the next, I have thus far seen no rewards for my time or effort. Granted, I am not expecting to be fully geared out in t2 pvp or even t1 or t2 pve (let's face it t2 pvp gear from bags seems to have come easier to (lucky) others), but the amount of pvp bags I have opened and the number of, and amount of credits I have spent on repairing, hard-mode flash points has been utterly fruitless thus far (compared to others).
Those who have been more fortunate will rush to defend against this post, but be warned to all those who are monitoring / contemplating the game, your end-game experience can (and most likely will) be very similar to mine. If you are 'lucky' you will have good gear soon after reaching level 50, the rest of you not so much. And for the majority (assumed) prepare to be in awe / surrounded by those superior to you (keep in mind: for the same amount of work, never forget that!).
So roll the dice! Buy the game, or continue to play level up to 50, then hope for the best or prepare to be the worst.
I hope the 'force' is stronger with you than it was with me.
For the record I truly did enjoy my time (up to 50) in the game.
The good news: once you play through the class quest of your choosing, you are pretty much done with the game, beyond 'gearing up' (save playing through a different story of another class).
