So I have read all the posts about content or lack of it. I have to ask what did you think would happen to this game we all loved if they started to add the content you all have asked for? The content that has been asked for is in the form of quests and I have to tell you that the quest and loot system dose not belong in a Sandbox.
RotW was a sign of things to come, it’s a half assed quest based expansion to try and get a chunk of the WoW crowd. I bought it and was really upset that I wasted my money on that pile of crap.
I had stared to do the village and came to realize that was not what I wanted to become and here are a few reasons.
1. I enjoyed the crafting combat template I had and I was not a PVP player. To lose all the work I had put into that did not set well with me.
2. The loss of all that work to become a full time PVP character that would be all about the hunt did not appeal to me. I have nothing against the people that are into the pvp but it’s not why I loved the game enough to have 4 of my own accounts and 1 my wife and I shared.
I remember the times I spent a whole phase out at the village as a TKM helping others to get the Sith pirates they needed to finish the quest. My wife was a master Doc/TKM and we would spend the night after night out there taking on the Sith thugs to keep them off the other people so they could get the ones they needed.
Oh well that is all gone now and all I have is the fond memories of that game.
If you were to ask me what I think content is and should have been added it would have been more areas like the DWB, Vette and the Warren that all fit within the “time line”
All and all I loved the old game and really the only thing I wish that would have been changed and added had to do with player cities and housing.
For instance if a City Hall was dropped that the whole max area of a level 5 city be reserved and require the zoning rights to place a house or a harvester. Not that the structure would count to the city population but at lest the mayor would have more control and remove the exploit possibility.
All and all the only thing that has been done in the current game that I saw as a major improvement was the latest change that required the need to have zoning rights to transfer a structure. That’s it and everything else is a big nerf and a slap in the face.
I know it has been hashed over time and time again so no need to beat that horse.
All I can say is be careful what you wish for you just might get it. You all asked for more PVP content.. Hmm something comes to mind.. you all asked for more content in a game that needed no quests and now look at what it has become.

i see a LOT of posts like this on the official forums and to be honest it gets dull, I agree with a lot of it but come on, you think people havent heard this a thousand times in the last 6months ?
The game as it was was fundemantally flawed when inserting quests. It was a vicious circle as not everyone is willing to do what you do and stand around helping others, A game needs to have plenty of quests to work through for the new players and for levelling - enough to keep you busy for 3-6months, then it needs raid or instance dungeons at least 15-20 that are gonna take an hour to do for a strong party, and then it needs a decent lag free pvp zone (or like SWG player placed battle sites - perhaps only 1 or 2 per planet though to stop the lag)
So much of what we enjoyed de funk (nge) spent hours slicing in cnet chating selling spice training mounts etc imgine if they had placed priorites else where.......
Quests would have been welcome additions. They could have toned down rewards, or just made them different than crafted items (a great CA or AA? Some cool item?).
The DWB and Vette were great. Now imagine if they actually added another similar thing every couple months as promised? More space based stuff?
Quests do NOT lessen the sandbox envionment. What's a sandbox without toys?
They should have taken the path they set out to. The same one we ALL thought we were on.
