I'm sorry for your discontent, Korrack. I understand about the professions the most... I doubt the small change coming where you can differentiate yourself within your profession is going to be worth staying for... but maybe at least check that out first.
Don't worry about PVP, if you don't want to do it... just ignore those that get stiffys from it. I don't like PVP either, but there are still plenty of things to do, especially with all the expansion material. Heck, I don't even like quests... but I like the choice that maybe I want to goto the Ryatt trail and kill elite Gotals, or maybe I want to goto one of the mustafar facilities and fight some tough battle droids, etc etc etc. Even the elite imperial NPC's are quite a challenge. The other night I saw some elite level 87 stormies walking around Theed, and boy did they hand it to me.
Maybe you are referring to space crap, I don't like that either. hahaha seems like a lot I don't like, huh? It's true, but the stuff I do like takes precedence over all else and I love my toons and ALL the HARD work I've put into them. I have to admit one of my main passions is loot (That's why I'm a smuggler too - for instant junk dealing) and you said you are tired of the loot. That would be a big blow for me too, definitely.
What is it you do like most, though? What do you like killing? What are your favorite types of missions to do? Maybe just concentrate on what is the most fun for you for awhile, since that's what it's supposed to be about... fun.
That or try taking a bit of a break... during my 2.5 years playing time I have taken my fair share of breaks (even when the game was at it's greatest) and they work wonders. For me, it's like a new game when you come back.
I don't know man, just offering my 2 cents I guess.
