If you didn't want the companion, why'd you pay for him? +10 presence ain't that big a deal; you get +100 just for getting a human to 50. Why's this such a big deal to you? You took a chance since they never said they were giving the companion a presence bonus. If you didn't want the Ewok, I doubt +10 presence is worth it.

Maybe it's not worth it to you, and that's fine. To me, that was the only real draw card of PAYING for a companion.

But as the bulk of the other companions all provide a +10 bonus with their affection, it's hardly in the realm of absurd extremes to think maybe, just maybe they'd have done the same with Treek now is it.
The point is very valid, even if you refuse to acknowledge the point. You assuming that you will get something simply because it doesn't say that you WON'T get it is absurd. Even you acknowledge that not all companions provide a presence bonus, yet you assume that this one will, even though the only other non class specific companion does not provide a presence bonus.

You got EXACTLY what you purchased, a companion? There is NO presence bonus from HK-51, a shared companion, yet you want to ASSUME that you will get a presence bonus from another shared companion.

If it's so embarrassing, why did you buy it?

to become our new companion, and using a whole bunch of companion reputation gifts on her, it turns out there's no +10 Presence buff for maxing out affection with Treek -____-
The Presence bonus is not for maxing affection, it's for maxing affection and doing every single conversation with the companion. As others have said, Treek is not on that list. Neither is HK. Neither is the ship droid.

It's not a bug.

If you mean the one on top of his head, then yes, there's a point there.

No. I'm assuming that they would put in there because we're a: PAYING for her, and b: because the majority of the others provide it.

Yes, and what a completely unreasonable thing to ask for. I mean really, it's like I asked them to deliver an aircraft carrier to my door. At least that's what it seems like based on the completely absurd/ fanboi responses that are popping up here. Part of the purpose of the forums is giving us, the paying customer the ability to provide feedback. Which is what I'm doing.

We also didn't have to PAY for HK. He was free.

So you simply assumed rather than verifying before you bought it.

So I could wear it around my shoulders. Another stupid question? Or maybe you could read the posts.

HK didn't come with a price tag, which is why I didn't mind not having the affection bonus.

Yes I know. I made the mistake of thinking that maybe some forethought would have been put into making it worth the players while in paying 1mil in credits for it.

If you have one, I'm all virtual ears. I don't judge.

So you admit you wasted 2100 CC? Thanks for supporting the game so I can enjoy it.

Is Treek in the legacy list of companions which give a bonus? Are you just trolling?

No, you made the mistake of making an unwarranted assumption. Whatever floats yer boat.

You can do the quest to obtain HK-51. You can also PAY to unlock him on subsequent characters. Guess what HK-51 doesn't provide the presence bonus, even if you PAY to get him on an alt.

So:

Paying for HK-51 does not grant the presence bonus.
The only companions that grant the presence bonus are class specific companions.
Treek is NOT a class specific companion.
There was nothing to indicate that you were purchasing a companion that would grant the presence bonus, or anything more than a companion.

Yeah, I guess ASSUMING that Treek would grant the presence bonus in the face of all that evidence that she wouldn't is perfectly reasonable, and those "fanbois" are out of their minds for pointing out that it should it have been obvious that there would be no presence bonus.
