I completely agree, the storylines in this game is what makes this game unique compared to other MMO's, I began playing this game only because of the story, and I continue to play only because of the story, and if they don't build further with this, the game will 'die' out in a way, and become a boring empty game like most MMO's.
SWTOR is the only MMO that has this much and good story, and they should continue down the path they intended when they was planning this game, not buckle down and go the boring way like most other games.
