My complaint with AO is that while it is a very rich and huge world with tons of places, things to do, and loot, progression is/becomes VERY repetitive. Pre-Shadowlands leveling pretty much consisted of subway up to 13+, then Temple for 30-40 levels to 60 (mostly legionnaire runs), then 8x8 to 85-90, then Mort 'borgs until 115-120, then endless missions over and over again until 200.

Post-Shadowlands that has become random SL stuff until you're high enough to do Nascence Hecklers for 50 levels, then Chill Spiders in Elysium until you're 90+, then Ely Hecklers to 160-175 (yes, thats 70-85 levels of doing THE EXACT SAME THING), then Adonis Hecklers until 220.

I was going to say that the game is min-maxed to death, but I don't think it's the players' fault. It's the fact that there's really only one viable thing to do at any given level in order to progress in a reasonable amount of time. I'm glad you're having fun with it... I definitely spent a year or two of my life doing AO more than anything else, but I'm never going back to it unless they start to offer it completely for free. I MIGHT be persuaded to give it a look if that happened, but other than that, no.
