From some players' perspective it may be. We've been programmed to look at MMOs as something you race through to reach the level cap and raid. And this is a game with 200+ hour class stories, without even exploring, doing world arcs or heroic quests or pvping or anything else. And I think that may be daunting to some.
Just speaking for myself, I'm a player who enjoys trying different classes out. Assuming my account ever gets fixed (I was hacked and had all 9 of my toons deleted...) I have 6 level-capped characters in LotRO. I'll do the same thing in TOR. However, it will take me (literally) a year to do it. Minimum. Because we're talking about 1600 hours of just class story. 66 days real time.
(good grief)
