What do you do when the game gets boring.
With my combat char, I did all the theme parks, swapped factions, did quests, and finally when the ultimate bordem set in I created another account (this one) and started crafting. I know that the bordem will subside at some point, but in the mean time what does everyone else do, crafting wise, when they get bored. I would love some suggestions, thoughts, comments, or well anything to find some fun in the game again.
Thanks,

I've found the best thing to do is get small groups together and set challenges for yourselves, have an intraguild war, capture the flag, scavenger hunts etc. The people who participate usually have a good time with it.

cool idea. i went and played KOTOR 2 when it was released. i havent played SWG for 2 weeks or so. when i came back i LOVED IT MORE THEN EVER!!!"""
that's exactly what i did when KOTOR2 came out for the xbox.
and 2 weeks ago i was getting bored again, so i took a break, and went through and played KOTOR2 as a super-dark jedi instead of super-light jedi.
Always amazed at people that think the game gets boring. There's content all around, it's just not thrown at you like some games.
Having said that, I would like more content for the crafting communities. I think I'd have a party if Artisans could make signs!

Want non-stop activity? Start a guild. 
Other than that, I really like to find things that involve a lot of people and do those. No, it doesn't deliver immediate satisfaction, but it does make a lot of friends.
Even hunting meats or hides becomes a community activity and making those communities is the bulk of the fun I find.
You've got to use the tools of this game to make the experience. One of the strengths and weaknesses of SWG is that people are expected to learn by exploring everything. I think highlights of things to do in the game should be more evident on a regular basis for all levels of play. Something like that might help out the people that have done everything.

This is why I loved being a combo combat / crafter pre-CU. Too bad the CL system ruined that.
Yup. Particularly with the MBE. It irritates me that I can never reach CL80 as a MBE. When an agro is based upon my level, there is nothing I can do to lower agro potential enough to go after the crazy hard DNA samples.
