How are you already 50? Did you skip over the cutscenes and conversations and everything else in the game?
Because I'm only 36, and I've been playing almost nonstop since I got into the early start (3 days after early game launch). I take my time listening to the conversations and try to make sensible choices for my character (even if they are of no value). I also try to do the appropriate flashpoint for my level between each world as well as the occasional Warzones and ship battles.
If you did not, then, then I ask you why? The voice acting is actually quite excellent, and the story (at least for my character) is quite enjoyable. You should give it or have given it a chance. :\
