The bolster system was good until everyone began gearing out and hitting 50. I can't stomach the PvP because of that. I'm only level 27.

Huttball is actually an awesome game. The problem is the classes are terribly balanced for it and you need to have people on your team who know what they are doing to make it fun.
I've had some truly epic huttball games when I got put with a good premade and the other team was also a good premade.
But for everyone one of those there are three where you're facing 8 level 40+ SIs and your team has 8 sub-30 agents, bounty hunters and sith warriors who can't even begin to compete with the ridiculous overpoweredness of high level SIs at huttball.

Even 50s can't compete with how overpowered SI is at 50.

I really do not think the stories can hold me for 8 runs through the same lands with the same side quests.
i intend to roll alts and just do the main story line quests, supplementing my leveling with space combat and warzones
space combat gives sick xp. too much imo
Hmmm I may have to try that when I start burning out.

Not to mention a nice chunk of cash.
The PVP daily is worth a ton of exp and cash too and it usually only takes 2 games to get a win. Although as we have described it isn't very fun a lot of the time.

Battlegrounds and almost-insta rez after death have killed PvP in MMO's, for the most part.

Yes, that's because of the false believe that if you make a game the way people want they will be happy.
No, they won't! The point of a game is to have exactly the opposite. Take away what people want and make them work for it.
This is just one instance of that. Downtime after a PvP death sucks. Remove that. Big mostly empty PvP zones suck. Make them tiny. Getting your butt handed to you by an enemy zerg sucks. Make all PvP small scale. Needing a dedicated healing (ability x) class for your group sucks. Give everyone self heals (ability x).
The result is bland and pointless battle ground PvP of today.
