***Warning Wall-o-text incoming*** Another in agreement with the OP. It's been a long time since I've felt genuinely invested in a MMORPG. Everyone remembers the first time they jumped on an MMO and thought something similar to the expression of "Holy **** this is awesome!" Well for me it was the story, the social interaction and the immersion into an alternate reality (yes I play on a RP server and yes i'm skipping the sharded world situation for the sake of the thread topic). I want whatever game I play to take me out of my life for a while and entertain me in a way that I may not be able to otherwise. So what if I don't cram to 50? Or am the best at PvP? It's my immersion, my story, my fantasy and my intent to have it play out the way I see fit.... and as far as that goes I believe that BioWare greatly succeeded. They supplied the means for me to create my own story. Even George Lucas himself once said "Special effects without a story is a pretty boring thing". Just like everyone else I've played WoW, STO, EQ, UO, Rift, Aion, EVE (missed SWG sadly) and I have my own requirements for a game. If it doesn't fit what i'm looking for i'll pack my bags quietly and move on......no harm no foul. I will give respect to those who post legit concerns or ideas for improvement; but for those who rant and rave for no apparent reason.......actually no, don't get me started on them. Any attempt to reason with them before a certain part of their body finally drops and grows is pointless. Nothing will ever be the exact way you want it and at the same time also be the other way countless other people want it. It's obvious to everybody that this game has a strong focus on the RPG element of MMORPG. If that's not for you I implore you to find something that you will enjoy. That's the beauty of a capitalist society; there is always something new around the corner.
Just generally curious but what's a comfortable level to easily breeze through BT. For example i'm currently using a lvl 21 Operative. Mainly I just want to do it for kicks and to take my time going through it and not being rushed by group mates.
