I'm not defending it, I'm explaining it. You may be new to this game, but chances are you're good at video games...this game HAS to cater to players of ALL skill levels. Prior to 4.0, it was even easier!

The challenge you're looking for, isn't going to be found on leveling trash...if you want a challenge, do PvP or FPs, then get to 65 and do Ops.

How many lower level flashpoints have you done? That is where the challenge comes from, not from the leveling with the class story and planet missions. They made the leveling easier for everyone as there are those that dont' want the leveling process hard but never do a flashpoint, operation or pvp. I hated pvp but found out it can be fun and found it challenging to heal there, due to the fact everyone wants to kill me!!!!!!! (lol)

Same with flashpoints and operations that is where my challenges happen.

No, it really doesn't, because the end of that road is always making a game so easy that you don't have to play it. Because unless you do, there will always be someone who is too incompetent to beat it. The balance they had before 4.0 was much better, and I don't remember seeing too many rage posts about the story content being impossible. There were easy parts, there were "challenging" parts, and there were parts in between. Now it's all just flatlined at way too simple.

And yes, this was the case when this game launched.
Agree. I just finished another JK playthrough. I can find a lot of threads from release complaining about the difficulty of the final battle. Yesterday, I just watched as Influence 21 healer T7 defeated the greatest power in the galaxy in about a minute.

Hey, we all like different things. But since I approach this as a SRPG with some other stuff, yeah, I'd really like some challenge. At least to the boss battles. And this particular fight? It should be epic!

What are you talking about ? You can let your companion play the game, that has nothing to do with "cater to all players".

The removing of choices and options and the overall dumbing down of the game is ridiculous.

On what planet exactly? Ord Mantell? What choices and options have been removed? I'll still argue that pre-4.0, those planets were even EASIER for most players.

Really? You mean pre-4.0 when your level 60 could send his companion off to kill anything without you doing a thing, on ANY planet minus Yavin? There are MORE challenges now than there were pre-4.0.

Skill trees, item stats, companion gearing... crafting also got a huge portion of dumbification with KOTFE.

I think the video the person posted is on a higher planet, so companions can solo not only the starter worlds.

It's hard for me to imagine someone SO inept at video games they'd need obstacles to their success boiled down to navigating the game world. And prior to 4.0 it was not easier.
