I always thought the levelling pace was too fast in the game from the beginning but I can understand why they would speed it up several years down the road since I wouldn't have ever bothered with the non force classes if I had to spend as much time on them as on my main. Coming to this game from LOTRO my biggest gripe was that there weren't multiple levelling zones for a given level range so it's always the same every single time. Sure, there is the bonus quest series but it's not quite the same.
