I have a problem with this game. It has nothing to do with elder game, or class balance, or optimization, or development philosophy.
 
It's the alts. I just can't seem to stop making them.
 
I began the game on Pago, Dominion, as a medic. Got to level 25, became really frustrated with the dps, and started over as a Stalker. Then Engineer. Then Esper. Then a bit of Spellslinger. All of these characters are sitting between 18-30.
 
And then, the other day, I came to the realization that Pago Dominion is a ghost town. So I started over on Evindra Exile. Esper, Medic Stalker, Spellslinger all sitting between 8-15 now.
 
I've probably played through the starter zones of each side a dozen times, between starting new classes and rerolling because I'm unhappy with the characters appearance. 
 
I'm at the point where I'm afraid to invest any more time into the game for fear that it will just be wasted down the line.
 
Has anyone faced anything similar to this?

			Currently leveling an Aurin stalker because the class is currently OP thanks to the DPS buff.

Not really similar, but I'm working on my 3rd and 4th 50 at the moment while still playing 2 50's
 
I'm undecided on whether I want to try an esper or not, definitely not interested in spellslinger atm.
 
Mordesh has grown on me, if they make a chua warrior playable I will be all over that, Aurin medic I will be all over that as well.
 
I was in bad in WoW as well, I have very many level 90's :(

Make one character. Delete the rest. Play that character and make it your own.
 
If you ever feel the need to make an alt... look at your thumb.
If the desire to make an alt continues... take that thumb and insert it into your butthole.
For every moment the desire to make an alt continues, keep pushing that thumb deeper and deeper.
Eventually you'll either not make an alt or your hand will not fit completely up your butthole.
 
This is how Uncle Bobby stopped smoking.

			I know that disease. It feels horrible.The very first character I rolled was a Spellslinger and got him to level 50. Turns out, the Soldier path sucks.The second character I rolled was an Engineer and got her to level 50 too. Turns out that Scientist is a sweet path but I despise managing bots in adventures and dungeons.The third character I rolled was an Esper and he is currently level 14. Turns out that the capital city's teleports are difficult to build and maintain as a Settler. Buffs are super sweet though.I will probably reroll the Esper as an Explorer and get a scientist buddy so we got everything covered.

			I really should lvl an dominion lvl 50 killer robot.

Your problem is you're trying to hit a moving target. The changes they're making to the classes each drop are significant enough that it's better to focus for now on what you're enjoying vs trying to min/max. 
 
When the dust settles in 6 months then fire up the alt generator again.
 
EDIT: I really wish we could change paths. Soldier sucks completely once it's maxed it's pointless.	
----
			
I try not to follow the flavor-of-the-month bandwagon, as I know where that ends. I've been playing MMO's for about 10 years now (started w/ FFXI) and it's never gotten this bad.
I guess with how big of an investment you are making by taking a character to max level, I keep trying to make the 'perfect' character. I like aspects of medic in pvp, but I hate the solo leveling experience. I love engineer tank, but I can't play them in pvp. And so on.	
----
			
why does soldier suck at max ? what benefits apart for scientist for the summon do the others provide that aren't equally sucky.
 
Just curious. I have soldier and Explorer paths maxed. I love the ooc heal from the soldier path and I love that I can get through a zone at super speed if 
 
I choose to.. Or jump off a cliff and not die.

			maybe a little fresh air and sunshine??

I'm bitten by this same bug as well! Right now I'm leveling a Chua Spellslinger on Avatus to see how the Dominion population is over there... at this point I have two main servers, but because of the fact I'm on two of the quieter servers I've decided to branch out my alting to some servers I've heard are more populated. I realize this only makes my issue even worse. :T Eh, I'm still having fun though so I guess it's not really a problem in the grand scheme of things. I do empathize with you about it, though. I'd prefer to settle down and get past Whitevale and beyond on a single character hehe   :) I just can't shake the urge to alt and explore all my whims whenever I want. (sometimes I'm in the mood for melee, others I'm in the mood for range, sometimes I wanna build settler stuff, others I want to scan things...)
 
May we both find a class/race/path/server we like well enough to devote most of our time~

			I have the same issue, had a lot of trouble picking a class and spent my trial month getting 3 classes to 25 and leveling another medic on Dominion side to experience the other faction. But now that I am level 42 and stuck with a character, I felt comfortable enough playing with alts and characters/paths since I can reliably buy CREDD and not feel like my time is being wasted. And as a result indulge on my alt problem. It will probably get better once I reach 50 and get access to dailies

There is no cure for Altoholizm!
 
As your "king" give in to the dark side ... we have cookies. 0_0

			I have to have 1 of each class, but I can never bring myself to delete any, so they all eventually hit cap. I have 285 levels between all my toons.  -_-

CL,
 
Since you first posted your added 75 levels!!! 0_o
 
And I thought I was fast at leveling. 0_0

			Just get to end-game and start grinding elder gems and reputation, and the rest of the attunement process. Either you'll give up alts entirely because of the sheer amount of time required for the process, or you'll just play more alts. They're both fine, honestly.

As you can see from my signature, I also suffer from major case of Alt-itus...
 
Currently using my Esper as main PvP and Warrior for PvE :)	
----
			I really shouldn't have deleted my dominion engineer if I had know how OP engineers currently are.

Level one you like to 50.
 
Repeat process with next one.
