I think you should just end the relationship now, before you get swtor pregnant and then you're really stuck.

Same here...
Maybe the OP is running something alongside the game that's causing him so much grief.
You're not using an third-party programs are you, OP?
Thanks for showing us you listen to our feedback, Bioware!

I would agree but Tab doesn't work or any other hot key that involves targeting except on an extremely rare occasion. For me, I can force leap in to a target, destroy it, and then have to manually click on the add standing right next to me or I can't attack it. Every once in awhile I'll get lucky and the feature will actually work but until or unless it does with any semblance of regularity then, yeah, sorry to say but an auto target feature that works would actually be pretty cool. Otherwise it's pretty stupid to be standing right next to your next target and not even attack it unless you click on it manually or have to manually click on somebody that attacked you from behind in a war zone. Imagine playing an FPS game and before you can shoot back at something that's firing on you, you have to find it on the screen and click on it with a mouse. That's annoying IMO. Is it really THAT big of a deal as someone else emphasized? Yeah it is actually. Especially if you really pay attention to what I just said and to the analogy. Stupid crap in games takes away from the enjoyment of the game and if something is supposed to work a certain way, I expect it to.

I and the rest of my guild see many bugs, and they are as follows:

1) Random players will be unable to see Soa in EV when we hit the bottom floor, this usually lasts for about half of the remaining encounter.
2) Players that die during the Soa encounter, their bodies will disappear and will be unavailable for battle rez.
3) Random adds during world boss encounters (all of them that spawn adds) have at least one mob that cannot be attacked due to conflict on location from server to client end.
4) Random players within operations glitch out and appear as if they are hovering.
5) Terrain modeling is sub par causing players to become stuck on objects that appear to be smooth. (Sometimes /stuck does not work on these, and GM assistance takes so long that players cannot get the assistance they need to get out of this situation).
6) Instance phasing is sub par causing issues with fresh players entering an existing ops. (People have to leave the instance, wait for someone who was already locked to that instance to enter first. Trust me, this is a pain in the rear, and should be fixed immediately and has been an ongoing issue since launch)
7) Map modeling is not compatible with all camera settings. Tanks in our guild have complained that they have to move their cameras in when tanking items in caves due to severe camera glitching. I have found myself staring outside of a star ship when mouse-moving my camera around due to the camera not adjusting with my movement.

These are the only ones I can think of off of the top of my head. There are others, since we gripe like little old ladies in our Vent when we run into them.
I've had some of those but not all of them. We ran into a really fun glitch on CZ-198 HM the other day where mobs on the floor below us where shooting us through the floor and then in some cases were aggroed from the floor below, running up to our level. It sucked because we wiped when it happened but it was also hilarious to see them all running back down to the bottom level after we were killed.

I'd love to see what the "It's Your Connection!/It's Your Computer!" crowd has to say about that one.

At least I'm not the only one. The main reason for me posting this was to see how many people out there could relate to these things and whether or not they'd been addressed before. For me, all I care about is getting them resolved. Replacing my whole laptop for the sake of a game that can be f2p is just not something I'd ever be willing to even consider.

in lotro, my tickets are consantly closed without any reason or, instead of simply being closed, a GM contacts me to tell me to submit a bug report and fill out a bunch of info that was already in my ticket.
if you are not online to respond, they typically close your ticket with 'subject was not online' which is just another way of saying 'not my problem'


here, it might take a few days, or they simply can't help me with my problem, but almost everything i've encountered has been resolved for me, in a timely manner, and with professionalism from the CSR.
in fact, the last two bug reports i filed were fixed for me while i wasn't even at the game, and i was sent an email about it to let me know. i just logged in, and it was already resolved.

when the group finder was introduced, i queued for a specific FP and submitted a ticket about my lost black hole comms.
i submitted a second ticket after the first response explained to me that i needed to queue for random (which i did not understand from his explanation). the next guy to respond explained it again, i understood, and then gave me some black hole comms anyway.
Aside from taking up to a week to reply or never replying, the issue I have with CS is the same issue that others have with the White Knights. CS will look at all of these various issues that I've just presented here and rather than recognizing some of these things as the glitches that they are, they'll try to put it off on my ability to play the game. One CS rep even said that if I was having that kind of difficulty attacking things (I'm talking about the key glitch where every once in awhile, I can't fight back or defend myself against a target and am forced to either stand there and die or run away and die), that I should consider using a group. lol Seriously? I'm going to group up for open world travel against crap that I've destroyed hundreds of times or that any noob with a pair of eyes could easily mow down as long as the game is working properly?

Just because they don't experience these things themselves doesn't mean that they're not happening or that you're making it up. That was my issue with them as well as their complete disinterest in resolving an issue that was very similar to the one you described. You got lucky though. Them providing me with the items that I got shafted out of (in this case, credits) should have been a very simple resolution that didn't require back breaking labor on their part. Instead, they swept it under the rug and acted like I was making it up or that it never happened.

Hey, I'm a big fan of comedy. Thanks for the laugh!
