kinda ridiculous how much shit is restricted to subscribers, but the most annoying thing is baseline exp is reduced for preferred/f2p.

I played one day of F2P then just paid the $15, figure it's not worth dealing with all the limitations if I know I'm going to be playing it at least for a month. So far just going real slow on my trooper, hit level 10 last night, doing quests, etc. I'll give Bioware credit, they at least are making me pay attention to these quests due to the presentation instead of just giving me a wall of text to read.
That's kind of the hook that brought me back. I already had about 7-55s spread out, but whenever they release new content like dungeons or events like Rakghoul, they are the best set-up men in the business about making you give a fuck about what you're spending time on. Always a fairly lengthy intro story subplot with nothing to actually read if you don't want (just watch it passively or spacebar) and then finish it.
It may turn out to be lackluster at the end, but I always find I'm pretty engaged in it while going through the story. You may only want to do it once/twice, but that once/twice for the story part is plenty. These other games like WildStar made my eyes bleed with their vomited text trying to get to the end of the game and I find myself wishing I could just insta-50 to the end to save me the boring details of some pregnant bitch stuck in a cryotube.
Man, I've enjoyed playing my Sage, but ffs the story is bad. I always thought people were just exaggerating how bad it was.

It's not all that bad when you go completely Dark Side. But yeah, second worst story in the game (IMO).
To be completely honest, most of the Republic side storyquests suck. The only one I even liked were Smuggler (somewhat) and Trooper. The rest of them whined incessantly about right and wrong and that kind of nonsense.
Then I went over to the Dark Side and man, here we go. Most of my 7 maxed toons but two are all Sith.

Republic quests were always funny to me. While Imp side has a few bonus quests that start as "kill x enemies", then typically transition to something like "destroy x widgets" or something. Republic, with very few exceptions, always transitions into a second phase of "kill x enemies". It's a running joke with my wife and I when we play Republic toons, we talk about the Republic genocide quests.
My two max toons from launch that I raided with are both Imps. Infinitely better stories that Consular, which is the only Pub toon I have tried.
Considering i bought the game at release and was subscribed for many months i do believe asking for normal baseline exp and the ability to hide my helm is not exactly overreaching.
My highest level toon is 41/44 or soemthing. A Bounty Hunter (I forget which flavor) and the story was good. I have a 20 somthing Jedi Knight and I remember the story being lame. I have a 30-40 something Op (not the sniper) and I remember the story being cool.
I remember no details though.

Jedi Knight picks up at the end of Chapter one. I think that is after Tattoine and Alderaan.

This, it's pretty much what you would expect (Star Wars Hero!) I liked it for what it was. Not to say it is better or worse than some of the other lines but it was well done and I felt it was satisfying.
This is still the best looking piece of headgear I've ever seen in an MMO.

Whoever thought this up should get his own corner office at Bioware.
