So let me ask another dumb question: is it all possible to play this game casually? Like, less than 10 hours a week? It seems unlikely.

I mean, last week I worked a long, long week, and I've decided to go back to school and get another couple of degrees, and probably in my spare time I should be convincing girls to get naked, but somehow I just feel an overriding urge to beat the ever-living shit out of Jedis: this is pretty much the only emotion left to me after Episode II, that to eliminate the possibility of whiners like the nascent Lord Vader, we need more people dressed in black out cutting hippies in half. But somehow I don't imagine you can ever become enough of a badass to achieve these aims without dedicating your life to it. I wish there was some kind of weighting of time played vs. accomplishments: I'm willing to play a really risky character if that risk leads me to rewards in say, 10 hours versus 40. I need a formula like:

Badassedness = accomplishments / hours_played;

So that people doing adult daycare in a cantina end up being pussies their entire lives, but if I somehow pull off killing a dinosaur with a wet toothpick in my daily hour of play, then the power of those little symbiote bullshit thingies from the newer movies will flow through me.

Another dream dies stillborn. Sniff.

No. The only reason I'm even bothering with this is because I quit my job. Any strategy thatlets you advance fast is considered and "exploit" and they nerf it. And so far the rate at which it advance in power as you get experience is so high that there is almost no way you can take on more powerfull stuff until you are the appropriate level. They time / XP rationdown to a science. It's all very odd. It seem like in their drive to keep all the profession even, they wipe out anything interesting from all of them.

It does seem like I've already seen most of whats available. There doesn't seem to be much that makes you say "I can't wait till I can do/get X". It's all pretty bland.

Also, the devs said 2 more months until Jedio's start appearing.
