Sorry for the OP, that sounds awful. I am not sure why people are arguing about this, when was the last time you looked at server status and saw even ONE full server? I wondered why they added so many flipping servers a week in, didn't think it would end well.
This happened to me way back when in SWG and I had to re roll. Fortunately I realized in a only a few days I was in trouble and hadn't invested alot of time/met alot of friends yet. At launch of swtor our server had crazy ques & my friend suggested we move. I said no, we dont want to be all alone when the rush dies down. As a new gamer he would definitely be in the same situation you are, doing the right thing then being bored silly.
OP, while I agree something should be done I doubt it will. You should heavily consider rerolling now before you get to far.
