I usually play 2 - 3 hours perday. Finish 6 fs phase quest, but only got 3/24 Box. Play JTL more lately (Rebel Pilot 3/4/3/3) because fs grind is boring. Weapon xp grind takes forever. Grenade combat xp grind are very expensive, so we must do other thing to makebigmoneyin between. Dev, please make fs grind easier for casual players on next publish. I want to be a jedi too....
I have a lot of free time because i'm doing my own business at the moment. But i don't want to play the game like hardcore gamers do. The first reason i want to get quality time with my family, i have 6 months old baby girl and my wive usually complains if i played the game for long. The second reason the bandwith is still expensive in my country. It takes U$ 300 for unlimited ADSL per month.First i only subcribe 500 MB per month. Grinding force me to upgrade to 1 GB. I also need to save some for my work, email, browsing etc. SWG is my only online game that i played because i like starwars very much.

I work 5 days a week 6am-2:30pm and play maybe 3-4 hours when I get home, then sleep, get up and repeat. My off days I spend with family and get some play time in, maybe 5 hours or so a off day.
The thing is most people don't like to do the same stuff like grind 900k wep xp then trade it in for 30k FSxp, but most want to get it over with so going and doing something else is not an option, as when you go to do that something else your thinking "it's going to take me that much longer to grind if i do something else grrrr" so you go back to grinding.

Fulltime LAN/Security Admin
Girlfriend (soon to be engaged)
Family/friends
I put in anywhere from 40-60 hours a week with work and my girlfriend is around 24x7 every other week.
So, when I'm not at work or spending time with her, I get online so I'd have to say monthly around 20-30 hours in SWG. Been that way since launch and I'm just finishing my last FS tree and about to get my Ace title (Thanks Tiggs for fixing our missions!) and sitting on 80 badges. Been TKM/Master Doc for over a year now. So for me being a casual player means picking my professions and sticking with it. I figure it will take another couple of months to grind out the FS exp to hit Jedi Initiate. Meh, I got time.

thats the way it should be, rather than girlfriends and wifes wondering if we are nuts, let them play the game as well. didnt work with my brothers GF, shes too snooty to "play" games.
one thing i hate in this world, is snobbish behaviour.

I own my own business so im at the shop an average of 67 hours a week. I’m married and we have a little girl. If im lucky I get about 5 hours a week on this game. Im an avid star wars fan and have been since I saw the first movie (EP 4) at the age of 6. I’ve been playing since day one (That would be day two because no one could get on the first day). I tried the Profession grind but got about four done before they changed it. I complained about the lack of concern for the "casual" player and was told to not worry. A Dev actually said that I would like the next system because it was a mission based system". (can you believe I actually believed him)
I have a number of friends who think that this system is just not for them (the casual player). I’m not asking for a hand out, just some imagination that would exchange time consuming processes for thought provoking scenarios.

Employed full time. I play for 2-3 hours at a time, usually around 3 times per week, and some weekend days I can put in about 8 hours if we got nothing planned.
Some weeks I dont play at all, some weeks I have put in 30 hours+ (holidays etc).
I am on box 20, but have capped my experience for the next phase too. I AM DONE
