Length MSQ from all the expansions - it is getting insane

[Kenarashi]

Let's not pretend the SWTOR is anything great...

Though it has some nice aspects....it's problems are numerous, and long lasting.

I am not saying it is a great game. I am saying that leveling was great because of voice acting.

SWTOR was also the most expensive game ever made when it was launched, and it went f2p shortly after due to a lack of return on investment from subscriptions.

Because other aspect were bs, like they used horrible engine, there were tons bugs, they didn't think about post game content.
I am not saying that old republic is great, i am saying it has a great voice acting.
GW2 or ESO also has voice acting, both of them are popular.

SWTOR has great voice acting because they blew the whole wad on voice acting. The game suffered because they didn't have the money for it.
GW2 has a very minimal story compared to others, so it didn't cost as much.
Voice acting costs a ton.

You should definitely get option to story skip on alts, once one of your character finishes story. But I doubt that's ever happening, there's some nice money for SE in selling story skips.

And I'm for more voice acting. It's not-a-cheap AAA with main focus on story, there are no excuses for having only some 1/3 of story voice acted, especially when much less profitable games like GW2 have voice acted everything including player (5 races * 2 genders = 10 VAs just for player character) and even just random NPCs randomly chatting in overworld.

This is fair though, it could be more alt friendly. Adding the ability to MSQ skip to the point your main is at has value.

Yes... and when you kids become completely reliant on everything being audio and forget how to read, I will be able to leave sticky notes everywhere knowing the information on them is more secure than anything in your digital world... :P

When you are talking about A realm reborn you have to remember that they were still rebuilding the game after the disaster that was 1.0. Heavensward was when this game started growing and the dev team wants to have regular content updates which makes patching some of the problems in the early parts of the game difficult, they considerably shortened the time it took to do the post 2.0 story line a few years ago but there is still some story that they had to fit in there. I personally gave up the game about a year ago and closed my account due to nerve problems and finding a group to do content with at the time, but I grew to miss the community, so I came back on a new account and do understand your frustration.

I had that early on when I started 2 years ago, I did the entire ARR story and I was in the quests in between ARR and HW which is about 120-130 quests with no rewards at all, nothing of value, and I told myself nah I'm not doing this and I just skipped all of it to the end with a boost and level boost

It just takes way too long and if you arent interested that much in the story, its an absolute slog

considering the things i've seen you say on here i'm not at all surprised you skipped most of the actual game..... roflmao...

Unsure why this is an insult when more people than you'd think pay for skips lol. Some people just genuinely don't care about the story and want to get to end-game savage or newbies skip to catch up to where their friends are because they don't want to wait. There's more to this game than just the story ultimately, all it does it roadblock the content some actually want to do.
