I understand your frustration, believe me, I hit fifty this past monday. I took a while because I swore to myself when I bought this game I was going to enjoy the leveling experience because I love Star Wars more than any other IP and I really wanted the chance to enjoy myself in the Star Wars universe, and I did. I had a blast leveling and exploring. Now, at 50, I have begun the pvp grind. I'm taking care of this now rather than doing pve first because the more behind you fall in pvp, the harder it is to ever make up the difference. After my first week I have all Champ off pieces, no set pieces, but damn, back on monday-wednesday, I got my *** rolled back and forth all day. I couldn't hit a BM for more than 1k with a crit (I'm an Assassin). Now that I have some gear, 2k more health and expertise, I'm started to do pretty well. Any pvp game is gonna be a grind but you and I aren't so far behind we can't catch up. I'm mostly worried about lack of options. Three Warzones and one bad attempt at RvR? Illum could be changed to be loads of fun. I'd also like to see more open world pvp options because it's my favorite kind. If this game doesn't get more interesting over the next months, I'm gonna level some alts for the storyline, and when Planetside 2 releases, there I will go.
