There's a large part of me that wants to leave it all behind. It's a part of me that wants to drop Dancer, the little bit of Musician that I have, and even throw out my Mandoviol. This journey with newfriends froma Novice Entertainer swaying from side to side with absolutely no rhythm, to a Master Dancer of many months with a multitude ofunique experiences tucked away in memory, has been probably the most rewarding thing that has ever happened to Til Kismeta. Exotic dance partners, adventures in forward outposts, and a creative outlet like no other available in the game.
Things were going so well.But things change, andthere's so very little left....
What do you do when you no longer feel needed?
Fadeinto the night?

What has changed for you? I know for me it was when the people I had played with the longest including the people I knew IRL all left the game in frustration. Even today whenever I mention the game they ALL say the same things about what drove them away.
My friends that enjoyed combat and PvP hated the jedi system and the item-centric unbalanced combat system.
My friends that enjoyed role play and the social side (specifically the cantina enviroment) left because of holotaining and AFK buff bots.
Without those people to enjoy the game with, to talk about the game with... To share adventures, explore the game world and create stories with the game was just a really lagging adventure game that I had already beaten too many times.
I had one friend who said to me, "You know, lately I have been logging in and just sitting there looking at an empty friends list in an empty cantina (Theed on Tarquanis) without any thing to do."
The only thing I could think of to say to her was, "Come play on Bria with me!"
She made a new character there and within half an hour of doing the same basic dances all over again logged out and sent me a message saying, "I am gonna try CoH. This game sucks."

I don't do it to be needed, I've always done it for myself. Hope you can find that which makes you happy, because living to fill a need will only bring disappointment if that need gets met.

Only two things I can say. First /addignore is your friend 
. Second all games become repititious eventually. If there is no interest in the new content, like JTL, and you are just tired of the game then by all means move on and don't feel ashamed.
. Second all games become repititious eventually. If there is no interest in the new content, like JTL, and you are just tired of the game then by all means move on and don't feel ashamed. If you still love SWG and are just looking for a revitalized environment maybe change servers or find a new group of friends. I came here with agroup of friends and started down the PvE path. Two things happened I got bored of PvE and I tryed entertaining. I found that I still want to chat with my friends but I've also made a lot of new friends. My interest and that of the majority of my guild have drifted a little but we've known each other a long time and respect differences and help each other all the time. I've expanded not contracted my world here making it more interesting day by day.
So best of luck what ever your decision. Just remember it is supposed to be entertainment and escape for you, if it isn't and you see no way it can be there is nothing wrong with trying out something new.

I have had the same thoughts recently. I want to try another profession but can't do much with it because of all the skill points I have tied up with Master Dancer. I used to spend the majority of my time in the outpost cantinas healing and buffing. Now I spend maybe 10 - 15% of my time in a cantina. Most of my healing and buffing is for my guild. If it were not for their support I probably would have dropped my dancing ability long ago. I chose to become a dancer because I wanted to help. But now my help is not needed by the majority of players because they have a vending maching that they can use instead. I find the vending machine's constant howling and yelling to be so obnoxious I won't even go to that outpost unless I absolutely can't avoid it. So when I feel like giving up I either do and take my rifle and kill many many Imperial Storm Troopers in my black rage or I retreat to a more quiet cantina. On my server it's Theed. I may not get the opportunity to help but I can usually count on some good company.
It's always darkest right before it's pitch black.
