Returning players will tell you that the server stability is worse now than it was in earlier stages of release.

Sorry It is completely legitimate to anyone reading this post.... oh wait..

Rather than just saying it happens and im a fanboi/biodrone for not knowing, why not post where it happens to you so if someone looks at the post... they can hopefully fix it for you. That way it would be a constructive legitimate thread in at least some respect even if we will never know what and where the OP meant unless he responds.
If by "someone" you mean a Dev, I stopped holding my breath.

They still haven't fixed my companion's lightsaber so it turns off before being put on her belt when she is first summoned.

Careful! The fanboys will jump in saying this isn't a gamebreaking bug and tell you you're being ridiculous for even mentioning it.

No, what he said is constructive, it said what the issue was :P thats perfectly fine. you see he stated the issue rather than just some vague stuff about it.

So just because I have not experienced a certain issue means I haven't played this game? Not to be mean but really that has got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read. And no I have not had this happened to me. Now yes I have had an issue one time (notice only ONE TIME) with not being able to kill a mob due to lag but never what you described but oh wait I must not be playing the game.

Edit: sorry that coudl be seen as offensive.

It used to happen on some daily quests in Belsavis for quiet a while and took longer to fix than it should have. Other than there I have only had it as a gunslinger when attacking mobs that had no path to me.

I wish OP would have presented this issue better, but to be honest, he shouldn't have to. If you haven't experienced any of the blatant instability issues, you're 1. extremely lucky, 2. unobservant, or 3. not correctly understanding what you're experiencing.

The best ways to see these problems firsthand:
PvE: spend an extended amount of time fighting on Alderaan. Alderaan is a very unstable planet server-side. You will eventually find mobs that aren't where they appear to be, resulting in the error messages others have posted as well as inexplicable FPS jumps in certain places.

PvP: play one Huttball WZ. The worst character model location discrepancies in any game I've ever played as well as random, inexplicable lag spikes. The lag spikes are worse now than they have ever been.

Do not be afraid to comment on what I say I don't take offense to what people say I usually use it as criticism which is what I like. And I do not doubt there have been bugs like this or people would not complain about them. How ever just because I have not see them does not mean i am not playing the game. I mean I dont get to much lag but when I do it spikes badly and it spikes and goes away several times over the course of an hour or two the n stops and it usully only happens when i am playing on Jedi Convent I have yet to have the problem on EBon Hawk though sometimes I do get some lag there as well.
And you are right the bug fixes are taking longer to fix then they should but I will still enjoy this game mainly because Its the only MMO that I have installed right now that I actually enjoy playing.

It was not you, I fully agree with you, it was another who would have taken offense at my first line :P

But hey, apparently we are both incredibly lucky, unobservant or don't understand what is happening, and yet they still have not given a single place where this currently happens other than one person in 3 pages.

Oh and I have the issues in hutball on my laptop which barely plays the game, but not on my PC which suggests to me its a hardware issue. This means you dont meet the specs or they will need to have your specs to work out why you are getting this issue on a system which should play the game (my laptop should not)

As for Alder, 5 characters leveled through it, I always do it all as its one of my fav planets, and I have to say I have not experienced this on either computer.
