I would not mind some more crafting/customization He did rebuild C-3PO from only a couple of original parts.

"take cover in place" is my primary bind on middle mouse click. That roll to cover is bound to ctrl-middle mouse click. Try this yourself. It should be default as far as i am considered. I have not rolled into anything by mistake for 40 levels or so.

Been level 50 for a bit now and still have not had any problem with losing gear to someones companion but I do see the complaints about all of the ninja looting. If their was a button just for that purpose it would cut down on the problem. Make it easy for people to behave well and many will.

The champion bags that come from the dailies and weeklies are not unique. The ones that come from the PvP vendor for commendations is unique and even says Unique on it's name. You can have an entire inventory of the quest bags but only one from the vendor. This means a player leveling up can only save enough for 6 bags for when they hit 50. (1 in the bank and 5 in commendations). They should remove the unique tag and allow pvpers to stockpile champ bags as they level if they want. They are still doing the pvp and they can't open then until they are 50 anyway. To they guy who said he bought 3 you are blowing smoke because I can confirm this as of last week.

On a pvp server you can pvp on 9/14 major planets you can visit. On a PvE server other then voluntary fighting you can only pvp on 2/14 as far as i know.

There are open pvp area on all servers on a couple of worlds but on a PvP server you can attack the other faction on every world from Nar Shaddaa onward. The only planets you can't kill any of the opposing faction are the 2 starter worlds and the capital world of the other faction which you can't go to as well as Taris/Balmora which you are not on at the same time in the games timeline on each faction. p.s. Nar Shadda pvp area is in the bonus quest area. The first place level wise you get to pvp is Tattoonie and every world after except for the one exception of Taris/Balmora so lv 25+ for open world pvp on pvp servers really.

I play by these rules but that does not magically make every player know and understand these ideas. There is no reason their can not be a simple change to the loot system for companion characters. We don't need the need or greed option we have now. I remember playing before it and we did alright. Still it's a great things to have now and there is no reason that we should have to create our own third option by asking in party before you need. I don't personally even need this but by g/f, who is new to game and this is her most played MMO, loves the idea and it would of prevented her from taking loot from players for her companion more then one time before I saw and explained it to her. Not everyone has been playing for a decade or even a year. Quit expecting everyone to act like a vet. There is no reason that this can't be automated so that it does not even need to be explained for the same reasons we now have the need/greed/pass options instead of /roll 1-100 or the like.

Nothing that has been said so far changes the need for a Need for Companion button.

Force Stasis Instant Range: 10m Subdues the target, stunning it while the ability is channeled and dealing 792 kinetic damage every second. Builds 1 focus per second.

Indeed server wide.

Don't worry about your low level characters all to much. I had leveled a character up from 34-44 and got more legacy experience then I did with my alt from 1-30. You gain about 1/3 of your normal experience as legacy experience so you gain it faster on a high level character then leveling up a low level on. You don't gain any legacy experience until you have one character who finishes a Chapter 1 and you pick you legacy name. ATM legacy does nothing other then give you an account wide last name. I'm expecting a few character customization(or creation) options and other things like this to start with. So by not having legacy unlocked you are missing a few levels of a number that does nothing atm and gains faster at high levels anyway. Not missing all to much p.s. Doing the prologue and chapter 1 on a alt was worth about 2 legacy levels. Doing just chapter 2 on my main was worth 4.

Is your armor broken?

Just because you don't like PUG's and don't expect much from your fellow players does not mean you can't have a system that makes it easier to not be an ninja looter. Another option would clear up a lot of the issues and just return us to dealing with the people who are abusing the system on purpose instead of dealing with people who just don't understand or don't agree with you on when to need. Plus it would be very convenient for everyone else instead of trying to decided if we can need it in chat every or if someone wants it for their character instead.

It seems like there might not be enough trolling in this thread to keep it alive.

I do the same thing. I know the etiquette but that does not mean it cannot be automated. I remember typing "roll 1-100" in games to decide who got loot and that worked at the time as well. Not every one is you and me though. While you and me might understand the fine points of looting my g/f did not and if I had not noticed what she was doing would not know better and would still be doing it like many other players. To her it was clear because this is how it is in every other MMO she had limited experience with. If you want to use it and bind it to your character you need it. If you want to sell it you greed it. If you don't want it you pass it. Wearing a item on a companion character binds the item to your character so you can only use it on that character but you don't use the item on that character it self. That seems like pretty clear ground for a new option. In fact by checking with the group you are in you are doing a new age version of the roll commands of old. You are creating an additional option of need for companion character anyway you just have to use chat to do it. That is what i tell everyone to do right now as well. Why not add it as part of the built in loot system instead of trusting that everyone understands that they have to ask before they need roll?
