Thread: Leveling by PvP?

It's been confirmed that PvP will grant experience in this game. While it hasn't been confirmed how efficient this will be as a method of leveling, does anyone see PvP as a method they would want to get to end game content?

Personally, my first character is looking to be a Sith Warrior, but it's quite possible I'll be leveling either an Inquisitor or an agent as a steady alt (I realize they say that alts aren't mandatory to find something to do, but I'm an altoholic in MMO's...) and will be considering this method for leveling if doable for that character.

Anyone else's thoughts on this?

If PvPing is actually a decent method to level, I would probably PvP mostly. Or I would alternate between questing and PvP, then neither of them will get dull. Usually questing is always better than PvP for leveling in most games, so I am not sure yet.

It's been confirmed that there WILL be experience granted by PvP, also, quests will reward far more experience than 'creature grinding'. They have also said that if you enter flashpoints (dungeons in TOR) with higher level characters, you will suffer a pretty severe xp penalty, so from what I gathered, the best way to level will be to do all quests, while doing a little PvP on the side to cure any monotony, while doing flashpoints as they become available to your level bracket.

I believe it will be similar to wow. You will get a tiny amount of exp, although, I doubt it will be enough to level up in a realistic time frame.

Bioware have spent so much time in making the questing experience rich and immersive, therefore they will probably try and lean you towards that for levelling.

Also if you primarily did pvp, you would probably miss out on quests to unlock new companions as Bioware has stated that you will be able to get extra companions if you're adventurous and look around the galaxy for hidden quests.

Not saying I won't do some in the middle of questing, but I'm with Jav, I doubt it would be advantageous to pvp your whole way, as you are sure to miss out on a lot. Pvp is a monotany buster, not a means to an end.
