Well, I can see this issue is just an indication of the downward spiral that probably will be the death of SWTOR. I don't think anyone seems to care that they Have and Have HAD THE BEST MMO on the market. The companion mechanic, the voice acting, the whole canon/lore of the genre. They just hope that they can get people to buy Cartel Coins with Money so they focus all of their efforts into making money as quickly as they can, rather than fix things that are so broken that it makes the game nearly unplayable as it was intended to be played. I nearly had to rage quit last night trying to play my shadow tank, since every time I spammed my double strike (button number 2 on mouse) or get a project off (button number 3), it would target my HK or my friends Qyzen once the target I was attacking died. Making it virtually IMPOSSIBLE to play through the simplest of mobs as I had to keep targeting my next target, rather than have an IMPORTANT GAME MECHANIC actually working properly. DO they simply not know how to code a "Friend" group? Strange as it is that in data structure programming, it actually is a function of the other function being a "FRIEND". Didn't realize that by spamming an attack, that it means I want to target my companions. The little magic button in called, "Auto Target Closest ENEMY!" for a reason, it is suppose to target Enemies! NOT Companions!

I think ALL levels of companion (bonus presence) cocktails should be available from the Fleet Cantina Vendor. I hate when I out level the one I am using and have to fly all over the galaxy to find the right one. P.S. The Cantina vendor on Tattooine doesn't even have one available.

I'm speaking solely in a PvE environment, where the autotarget usually works but, most times fails. It will often target a companion or the enemy pointer that at one time was next closest but, since a different enemy has jet packed in or jumped in, they are NEVER considered closest even though they are right in your face. this desspritly needs to be fixed. Have been complanning about it for over 2 years now.

At NO time, under ANY circumstance, should Autotarget closest target a Companion! Not EVER, EVER, EVER! Please fix this!

NO response informing me of anything going on with these skills... sad...

Please include the crystal item modable slot to the crafted Shield, Focus and Generators crafted by the Artifice. In the exact same way that you added the slot to Techblades that the armstech crafts. Any crafted item that eventually uses a crystal should have a crystal slot available. Otherwise, Sentinels and Gunslingers who START with 2 (two) modable items can stack 2 (two) lvl 10 +41 color crystals, while the others, like Sage/Shadow cannot. This is unfair. Either start everyone, including companions, with proper modable gear or take us back 2 years where things were more evenly balanced prior to the introduction of the Cartel Market.

IF there was actual PROFIT to be made by making DS choices on Republic side characters, nearly everyone would be DS. Just like in beta when there was always a profit to be had from a Slicing mission... everyone took Slicing. It's a simple game mechanic, make the choice you feel best suits the situation and the way you view/play your character and never mind the consequence or benefit to be had, as they are small either way.

After a long time of being faithful to my tank companion Qyzen, I decided to try using melee dps Nadia Grell. Have her geared and have been running some dailies. I have been trying to get use to and figure out her rotation and abilities. The 2 (two) issues I have so far are: Force Eruption [Cntrl+6] Reads: Standard and Weak are KNOCKED DOWN. She seems to knock them back instead. Fun to watch your enemies go flying but, would prefer the knockdown as stated as it keeps her from sending targets into other groups. Wild Energy [Cntrl+8] Reads: Deals Damage to nearby targets each second for 0 (ZERO) seconds. Is this a bug in the description or in the ability?

May I ask what professions you craft with? I have always found crafting to be quite useful.

I am getting pretty tired of tanking as a Vanguard to be away from a target, rotate my camera to see said target, Storm and then try and use Pulse Wave prior to using Ion Pulse. IF you are facing away from target when you storm, you STAY facing AWAY from the target. You must use Ion Pulse or Stock Strike to reorient you to the target prior to using Pulse Wave or you hit absolutely NOTHING. It's annoying! Why would I STORM to a target and then FACE AWAY from them?

Do you know if you were kicked by a F2P or a Sub?

I don't understand WHY I have to grind just to get to Basic (69's) and Elite (72's) gear, when the MODS SUCK! Stats: Cybertech LvL 66 Crafted MOD +48 Endurance +70 Willpower +26 Power Black Market Force-Healer MK-1 (69) MOD +47 Endurance +63 Willpower +52 Critical Okay, a little loss of 1 (one) Endurance and a fair amount of Critical gained but, a LOSS of 7 (SEVEN) Willpower. My Main Stat! Verpine Force-Healer MK-1 (72) MOD +52 Endurance +69 Willpower +57 Critical Seriously? Elite Gear mod 72 and still a LOSS of 1 (one) Willpower! Am I suppose to be grinding through elder-game content, just to pull the Armorings and Enhancements from the gear and KEEP my Crafted MOD 66's? These Stats NEED to change!

Ahh, noticed this is not so much an issue if your weapon is at the ready and in your hand, only if the rifle start on your back.

Honestly, I run the lvl 50 dailies still because I enjoy them. Noticed this morning that Ilum and Black Hole give only Classics while Section X gives 1 basic with each daily. Even if it was 25 or 50 to 1, it would be something or as the OP mentioned, legacy gear that you could mail to alts might be nice. Just asking for some use for them.

I must admit, I didn't read all of this thread but, I do know your pain. Especially in Chasing The Shadow in Black Hole. I can solo this with my 55 Sage, as Qyzen takes the brunt of it all and I just keep him healed. Tried to solo this once with my Van Tank with Elara and it was an epic fail. Even with another 50-55 with me, when 4 of the NPC gold stars are pulling/knockback, it is very annoying trying to accomplish much of anything with your character other than being a meat shield to absorb damage while others play their character and accomplish the objective.
