The push is there for sure , world bosses , operations on certain planets , if your not in a guild u miss out on gear , finding players is hard and lets not start on PVP random Que, and getting random players to stick around is even harder , grouping for flash points , better be ready for whining and crying from hardcore players and be ready to get the boot if you cant keep up ,random groups don't show mercy and sometimes guild members don't have that sympathy either , so the unless a SWTOR allow players to play they want and stop favoring only certain sigments of the game , you will not be able to reap the rewards no matter how long you been playing , cause you never co-op , and will be frustraded with the random que of waiting and the Whiners that feel they are above all
