For your vendor stack problem, hold down shift, right click the item you want to buy a stack of, and drag the mouse (still holding shift+right click). Brings up a slider to pick the amount you want to buy.

Sounds just like Orgrimmar/Stormwind.

My Sith Warrior is 45. My Inquisitor is 25. I have a small handful of sub-level 5 alts/name holders. Playing a few hours most weeknights, a bit more on weekends. Both characters with real playtime are 400/400/400 in their tradeskills, though. Edit: Been subscribed since just before Christmas.

The "speak to whatshisface" quest sitting in my log from the Revanite chain on Drommund Kass. I finished the chain, got the title, but this step stays in my log, unable to be abandoned. I can even reset and re-run the whole chain up to this point all over again, there it hangs. And so far multiple tickets have only yielded a "Sorry bro, can't help you" canned response.

Bip and Bop are chihuahua min-pin mixes that vie for my lap space.

Shift-right click-drag will solve your stack splitting chat link issue.

I'm not sure I ever want to go back to World of Read-the-quest-text-for-story ever again, regardless of genre or company of release. Loving this game, myself.

The obvious solution is to create a game with just tanks and healers, and cap group size at two. Any more minimalist and there's no point in making it multi player.

Two things. One; apparently I am one of the very few who are aware the game has a LFG tool already. Unless you're all looking for a zero-interaction, queue-and-wait, port-me-to-the-fp tool. Two; If you picked up SWTOR looking for the next big online PVP e-sport, I think you've severely misjudged where Bioware has and will continue to place the bulk of their focus.

Most want an "I queue up and the game forms a group for me, ports me to the FP, and wipes my *** for me" tool, and have no idea that a lfg tool was in at release. They might have to open the tool, flag themselves/invite people manually, and (gasp!) talk to people with what's currently in game.

They could call it Autoattack. Or even better, let us space bar through combat so we can all hit 50 without experiencing any of the game!

It could be worse. We could be forced to "actually R&R" by the guy sending us on a long chain of pointless gossip conversations with various NPCs spread around the fleet. They could call the quest chain "Scuttlebutt".

This. It's perfectly possible to have all skills quick slotted and be effective. Does one really need the flare gun and holodancer on a quick bar?

The one that sells conductive flux and whatnot, I imagine.

Just a few bullets comparing this launch to The Other launch, having lived through both. I'm still a satisfied customer. You obviously are not. We are unlikely to see eye to eye, but I hope the negativity so enthusiastically embraced by yourself does not color your opinions on further entertainment choices you make. Otherwise, I fear you may never be content.
