Definately would like to see this too.

Would prefer it if they don't include stuff you can't complete any more in the count, like old events and the like, and just have them on an additive list. If I completed one event entry for example, make it 1/1 instead of 1/10. Really minor thing, but it's always nice to be able to "max the codex" for those of us that obscess about stuff like that, and it stops new people from wondering why they can't complete their missing entries.

And as mentioned earlier, a legacy wide codex would be fun since you get to collect entries on alts you might otherwise not care about. Guess that would be something that only interests a minority, but it would be a nice touch for the completionists out there.

Another one that popped into my head:

Buffs and Weapon drawing
I'd like to see buffs changed so that your weapon isn't draw. This doesn't happen on every class, but I find it odd (and annoying) that my Commando has to equip his blaster cannon to give a buff, but, say, a Consular doesn't have to ignite his/her lightsaber to do the same.

In a somewhat related thought, after clicking on an objective that gets destroyed, our weapons don't holster properly, and you're left running around with your weapon "flopping" along.

Few of little things from my list.

1. When you get your companion give us some idea what classes they can be to help us gear them up too, Jaesa is a good example, what spec is she? Can she be others?

2. Give us something that lets us some off our guilds. A hologram over their head, marking on armor, flag hung in my ship or something.

3. Give us a vague flashpoint que timer. Will let me know if it's worth going to do my black hole daileys or just start working on other planets I really didn't do anything on yet.

4. When we finish a flashpoint can we be dropped back where we where? On. Limited playing schedule the travel and world loading kills at least 4 or 5 mins for me to get back from fleet.

I had a Taxi improvement idea: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=523506

Also, something that REALLY bugs me is when it says "waiting on...", for loading screens, convo, finding players, etc.

Waiting on? What, do you work at a restaurant? ONLY WAITERS "WAIT ON..." ANYTHING. The rest of civilization "waits for..." things to happen.

Anyway, its a simple thing to fix. Just change one word. I suppose, at least, the game is consistent in the wording, even if consistently wrong.

Just a tip.

EDIT: I should clarify:

My understanding is that waiters and waitresses "wait on..." as the act of doing their job... waiting on a table means that they will take orders and eventually serve the table. Waiting for an order or waiting for a table is different. A waiter can wait for people at a table to order while waiting on that table as part of their duties.
Here's lookin' at you, Timmy.

I would love to see the shared Legacy resources :
Item Bank
Credits
Legacy Gear

Also the lightsaber handles are all modeled poorly. One cool thing is that wow did was cool weapons. I would like something distinguishing. Like a special handle showing your PVP rank symbol or Cleared content progression symbol.. One hilt cap for each title would be great.

Lastly .. Can we. Get some cool narly guns for bounty hunters.. My BIS merc (both pvp and pve) has super tiny peashooters.. They are embarrassing. To say the least..

I want my weps to look awesome. I cleared major hurdles to get them and everyone should know it!

Please dear god let us sit it chairs OMG neither I nor my guild are RPers BUT when I'm standing in game, mentaly I feel like I should be going somewhere or doing something .. Some times I am just chatting. Or having a guild meeting and I feel like my toon should be sitting. It relaxes my mind and reminds me that at this point in time I don't need to be grinding or rading or pvping or doing daileys.

Thanks!

Uhm... It's noted in your Codex what stats your companions use and you get a codex entry for them either right as they become part of your crew or soon before, and from that you can see how to gear them. Jaesa is the equivalent of a Jedi Shadow/Sith Assassin.

Here is an issue to your point.. Since Jaesa is an assasin.. Should you outfit her in + Def gear?
or should you put her in +power or should she focus on alacrity since she can cast? Also you are assuming that someone knows anything about an assasin. When I leveled my first toon a Jugg.. I didn't try any other toons info.. I knew what I wanted. I also did not know what Jaesas gear should be or how to best use her situationaly.. so you point is wrong.. and I agree with the person asking for more info from their companion aquisition.

I don't know if these have been mentioned before or not but my list is:

Crew Skills

The RNG of gathering crewskills is annoying. Having to spend up to 25 minutes of continuous load screens or logging in and out to get the missions you need is not fun nor rewarding at all.

Artifice needs some attention. Every other crew skill has a way to make money without having to do raids so you can RE drops to get patterns. Artifice is only useful for leveling, since everything you can get from it is easily replaced by dailies or pvp rewards unless you're in a raiding guild.

The yellow and orange crystals you get from treasure hunting are also annoying. Is there anyway they can be switched to archeology and have them be color crystal crits? I've had multiple times where I have queued up all my companions for lorridan crystals and only recieved 2 of them because everything else was yellow or orange crystals.

Daily Quests

The black hole daily where you destroy munitions crates is horrible. Having 80+ people trying to get to the 15 or so crates is frustrating, to say the least. No one wants to drive around for a half hour at times looking for crates or have to camp a spawn location.

I have done a lot of daily quests in this game. With the server mergers it gets frustrating to do them when you're competing with 60+ people on occaision. I also don't like grouping with others to do dailies because they slow me down, a lot usually. I would rather spend my time having fun than grinding out dailies. I can do all the dailies by myself in about an hour and a half. With other people it's substantially longer. GW2 has introduced the idea of no tagging for mobs (at least thats where I first heard of it) if you participate in killing the mob you get xp and personal item drops. This would encourage people to work together who are in the same area with out being hassled to group up for that one specific quest and it makes it so same faction griefing is a lot harder. As it stands, I actually do not like seeing other players around because I know they are going to inconvenience me when Im grinding out dailies.
Is that your blood?
Some of it yeah

One of the features I'd like to have is a combo-box on the Crew Skills system that would allow me to change the character I wanted to send companions on missions without the need to logout, login 8 times ! I wouldn't mind, if the loading times didn't take ages ! As they do, I'd like to be able to send all my companions to work and still be queued for WZs, FPs in 1 char, not taking 25 mins just to send every companion on every char.
