Pretty strange. Probably the reason they didn't give out a level 50 set was because it would be possible to strip the armorings & mods to use in your player character - not that level 50 blue stuff would be game-breaking in any way, but someone would surely cry "pay-to-win" over it. This could well be what it is. Although... they could have given a set of 50/55 green, requires Treek. Then you couldn't use them for self or other comps.

Isn't the redunant pack for having on tanking set and one healing set?

Yeah, this is kind of what I expected - especially when I got the second set of gear in the post. It just boggles the mind that an endgame companion ... unless you spend CC on it ... doesn't some with endgame gear. Funnily enough, in the 'guide to buying Treek', none of this gets mentioned - only that you have to be lvl ten. At no point does it say '.... because Treek comes with lvl 10 gear'. Well hope others considering getting the Ewok are duly warned - so glad I didn't waste real money on this.

The big gripe with Hk-51 was that he only came with level 50 gear, and therefore was useless to anyone who unlocked him for their lowbie alts. His level 50 was also sucky for level 50 and I had to completely replace all his gear. I'm also not satisfied using Treek with anytihng less than 69's, and I'm pretty sure Bioware would not give us a companion with a set of gear that players could pull out her mods and use. That would make her an easy way for players to buy awesome end-game gear and just imagine the outcry then.

Besides only cost me 1.3 million credits for a unlock without the legacy requirement.

TBH - I didn't know that people complained about HK, or that this had been a problem when they introduced the last 'extra' companion. Guess they don't learn from their mistakes, eh?

But paying real money for something that's basically a dud until you gear it up is a bit of a swizz, imo.

Being able to buy end-game raiding gear is where you really cross the line.

They learned from that mistake and made a new one. What they REALLY need to design is gear that scales, like the WoW heirloom gear. But not make it so OP as that stuff is at lower levels.

1st world problems. It's not hard to gear your Treek to level 55. You can get blue 66 gear for dirt cheap. If anything, this is a minor (and by minor I mean woefully, nominally, and insignificantly impactful in any way) annoyance. Now if Treek bugged out every time you used her causing you to die or something, that would be pretty bad. How about the OP and others griping about this turn their attention to important things like ability lag, texture fail (getting stuck on everything), and companion pathing issues.
