#1 buzzkill for me and the reason im finally going to leave.. Getting "new" content that is just the same 2 ops I have been in every week for 7 months. Theres no way I can spend another 5-7 months in those ops until new ones are finally released.

One of mine is the way companions turn into pets once you finish their arc. Even your spouse. Could it be fixed? Absolutely. Will it be? Very unlikely.
My name is Milind. I checked it again and can confirm you there is no bug with any companion in the game.

How would it be fixed exactly? Unless they kept recording dialogue over and over again, every so often, you'd eventually hit the same wall you've hit already.

What's wrong with doing exactly that? They brought back the Voice Actors for Makeb for the lines they say around planet, for GSF for the lines they say as your co-pilot, and I would assume they did/will bring them back for the December expansion if it is the same scope as Makeb. They could/should just record an additional couple of dialogues each time they bring them in for these bigger projects.

Adding a couple new dialogue options with each expansion, around twice a year, would be a perfectly fine rate to keep things relatively fresh - as opposed to two years with no new conversations. Would some people be clamoring for more ("We want new dialogue each patch!" "We want new dialogue each week!")? Probably. But the existence of unreasonable requests is no reason not to include updates at a reasonable rate.

I'd prefer to have a new companion, possibly a Voss Mystic, given the fact they admit they love the species. Plus, quite honestly, I'm not exactly seeing where they could go with companions, as far as personal storylines are concerned.

This is untrue or at the very least, speculation.

As I've mentioned several times in the past, David Anthony Pizzuto, who voiced Tanno Vik, died in early 2012. Yet, I'm fairly sure he's STILL voicing the character on Makeb. In other words, it's perfectly possible that Bioware has a plethora of material from the time class stories were still a reality, along with World arcs; This includes the voice-work for GSF.

Plus, GSF ( or SSPP ) it's not exactly something that it was developed in a six-months period or so. It was something that we know was coming for a serious WHILE, regardless of the fact we weren't aware of what it actually was.

Kinda of a waste if you ask me. Plus, yet again, unsure where they'd go with companions, as far as personal stories are concerned. The way most of them ended was good enough.

^This and it has been suggested long time ago.

The browser access should also include gtn etc.

I hope the upcoming legacy bank is just the first step towards many greater things.

I'd be exceedingly happy if they occasionally added more conversations with our companions. A little dialogue here and there would be far better than the zero we've gotten so far. The area comments around Makeb are better than nothing, but no where near as enjoyable as an actual cutscene would be. My favorite part of Makeb is actually when you first exit your ship and get your companions' first area comments. Hell, at this point I'd even be thrilled to get a new letter once in a while.

This I do agree with. It's not like it would take more than 10 minutes or so, to do it.

but that's what patches and expansions are for, you add a little bit more of that stuff every few months, cos you know your players will get tired of it, so you add new stuff.

it's like the people who say, don't ever do convos, or cut scenes, becuase you get sick of seeing them, i'm like hell no, convos are the best things about this game , especilaly the new really cool lookin fly-ins what you do is that you update them with time and add new ones. you can't be expecting to do False emperor for 5 years, they'd be new flashpoints, new convos, new scenes. and this is why you update stuff, and you don't just ditch everything an donly focus on adding new content.
If it feels wrong, it usually is.
