it's like the trolls ran out of things to complain about since bioware is rolling out the bug fixes day in and day out ... oh i guess i need to complain about random features like companions, or how i think there's too much snow on hoth, because too much snow hurts the mmo genre! someone hand me the handbook on how to make an mmo, oh wait there is none, the entire genre is less than a dozen years old. and u QQers sure arent the experts on the subject of "genre purity". get off your basement high horse and save people like me the time of having to sift through your tears for constructive criticism on these message boards

I hate the fact that as a sith sorc. I constantly have to cater to my companion or they have to cater to me. Either I am busy constantly healing and bubbling Khem Val as he tanks, one of the DPS companions or I am waiting on my healing companion to take care of me. It slows me down. If I want to use a different companion it is very difficult. I stopped using Khem Val and his gear became very very outdated. Once I whipped him out again, he was almost useless in the terms of how useful a companion should be. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy having something to lean on during more difficult battles, but at the same time I could account quite a few of my deaths due to the slow responsiveness of a companion falling back from combat, or throwing out heals correctly. When called to me, they stroll over as if there is no urgency. As my level has increased, my companion characters seem to get more frustrating. During boss character fights on the story line, I usually have to pop my bigger cool downs and such because my companions do not DPS enough, and need healing constantly. While I am not DPSing I slowly notice I fall behind in the fight and end up dying. Companions can be useful in rare situations, I think soloing would be very very difficult. I don't group because finding people are hard. Guilds seem to be difficult to find. The /who system needs work or has had my patience to figure it out. So grouping up is difficult for me when others are difficult to find, and very unreliable, just as the AI companions. Damn I'm sorry this is so long. lol

I levelled without my companion until the mid-thirties. At that point, fights began to get progressively more difficult, to the point that I was unable to finish them successfully alone. Of course, you should use your companion for class quests, some of them are much harder than average.

I don't understand people complaining about companions, in my opinion they add a lot to the SWTOR experience, not only they help you adavance in your class missions, but they also help you take on mobs that otherwise would be hard to take on if you went solo, you don't want to have your companion around? easy, dismiss him/her! and find somebody to team up with, companions are a great addition, I love that they can craft for me, go on missions, sell trash inv, etc..this is ridiculous, saying that a game will fail only because people failt to realize that by "dismissing" the AI they could enjoy the game just like everyone else, I truly hope all these WOW whinners go back to that awful cartoony excuse for an MMO.

I'm always leveling while sending my companion off to do crew skills... it's simple to level without a companion

Step 1. Dismiss pet. Step 2. Find a group.
